The heavy duty 900 tonnes per hour unit has an integrated 180 degree slewing feeder enabling it to discharge off either side of the quay.

Mounted on a single chassis the shiploader allows both powered in-line and parallel movement, and the high level of mobility makes the unit ideal for operations on narrow quays and finger jetties with widths as small as 15 metres
