ZOOMRY
1. Product Overview
ZOOMRY radial telescopic ship loaders are bulk-material loading systems for ports and terminals, inland waterways, mining export facilities, and industrial loading berths. The combined radial slewing, telescopic boom, and luffing functions are designed to extend loading coverage across vessel hatches from a selected feed position, helping reduce machine repositioning during the loading cycle.
Project configurations can be engineered for coal, ore, aggregates, grain, fertilizer, biomass, wood chips, pellets, cement clinker, and other suitable bulk materials. Selected designs provide loading capacities from approximately 100 to 3,000 t/h and telescopic boom lengths up to approximately 58 m. Final loading rate, hatch coverage, mobility arrangement, chute design, dust-control system, and operating envelope are confirmed according to vessel geometry, berth layout, material characteristics, environmental requirements, and terminal operating conditions.

Actual loading capacity, vessel coverage, boom length, mobility arrangement, power configuration, chute design, dust-control equipment, transport dimensions, and certification requirements are confirmed during detailed engineering.
3. How Radial Telescopic Ship Loading Works
Bulk material is received from an upstream belt conveyor, hopper feeder, truck-unloading system, mobile link conveyor, or other terminal equipment. It travels along the shiploader boom and is discharged through a selected chute arrangement into the vessel hold. The telescopic boom changes the effective discharge reach, while radial slewing and luffing help position the discharge point across the available loading envelope.
This arrangement can support hatch trimming and reduce the frequency of moving the complete machine or vessel during loading. The number of vessel hatches accessible from a single feed position depends on vessel dimensions, hatch spacing, berth geometry, required boom reach, and the final radial operating range. Chute selection is matched to material flow, dust-control requirements, allowable free-fall distance, and the vessel-loading plan.

4. Key Features
Radial, Telescopic, and Luffing Movement — Combined motion functions help extend the loading envelope across vessel hatches and support controlled trimming of the material pile inside the hold. Final working range is determined by the boom length, vessel geometry, berth arrangement, and selected machine configuration.
Project-Specific Mobility — Fixed, rail-mounted, wheel-mounted, tracked, and other terminal mobility arrangements may be evaluated according to quay conditions, travel route, berth layout, and required operating flexibility.
Configured Loading Chute System — Telescopic, cascade, sealed, sock, and selected trimmer-chute arrangements can be matched to the material, vessel hold, required loading pattern, and environmental-control objectives.
Dust and Spill-Control Options — Enclosed transfer points, skirts, covers, loading chutes, dust extraction, water suppression, and containment features can be selected to help manage dust and spillage in accordance with terminal requirements.
Marine-Environment Protection — Coating systems, corrosion-resistant materials, protected electrical components, and maintenance-access features can be specified for coastal, high-humidity, and high-salinity terminal environments.
Integrated Terminal Controls — Radio remote control, PLC automation, communication interfaces, generator or shore-power integration, and terminal interlocks may be selected according to the required operating and safety scope.
