Product Overview

ZOOMRY Truck Unloader for Barge / Ship Loading is a drive-over hopper system purpose-built for inland waterway terminals, river ports, and barge loading operations. Dump trucks reverse onto the ramp and discharge directly into the receiving hopper — feeding mobile ship loaders, barges, or overland conveyors without intermediate stockpiling. Built on a heavy-duty steel tube frame to withstand harsh marine environments, it handles 300–2,200 t/h with belt widths from 800 to 1,600 mm and a 5.8 m discharge height — optimized for loading barges and Handysize vessels directly from trucks.

Available in wheeled and tracked versions — wheeled for firm quaysides, tracked for soft riverbanks. Compared to our crawler truck unloader for deep-water port ship loading and our wheeled truck unloader for aggregate yards, this model is optimized for inland waterway and barge applications where discharge height and compact quayside footprint are critical.
