Shiploaders

Sandvik linear gantry and quadrant bridge type shiploaders are constructed in proven, eco-friendly designs and a wide range of sizes to service vessels from 5000 to 250,000 dwt. Central to the Sandvik philosophy is minimal disruption of the port during installation of the shiploader and its supporting equipment. Our process for off-site construction, assembly, testing, commissioning and heavy-load transportation is highly advanced, resulting in installation of fully operational shiploaders with capacities up to 20 000 metric tonnes per hour (22 200 short tonnes per hour) in just few days.
Linear, slewing and shuttling boom shiploaders PL100 - PL200 series Sandvik rail-borne gantry mounted, slewing and shuttling boom shiploaders , which also have a certain luffing function, are designed to cover all hatches of the vessel through a combination of luffing, slewing and longitudinal travel. To enable vessels to berth, they are slewed parallel to the quay. Like all Sandvik shiploaders, they have advanced PLC control systems and can be tailored precisely to protect the environment. Basic data for the most popular models is given in the table below.

To enable vessels to berth, the boom is simply raised out of the way. Like all Sandvik shiploaders, telescopic models have advanced PLC control systems and can be tailored precisely to protect the environment.

The shuttling conveyor boom that also has a certain luffing function is located on the bridge. This enables full hatch coverage through a combination of luffing, slewing and variable outreach. Like all Sandvik shiploaders, radial quadrant models are equipped with advanced PLC control systems and can be tailored precisely to protect the environment.
