The radial telescopic ship loader is an advanced piece of equipment used in ports and terminals for efficiently loading bulk fertilizer onto ships. The radial and telescoping features allow operators to easily trim hatches or multiple hatches from a single feed position — reducing hatch changeover time and production downtime. They can load vessels up to Panamax size with complete mobility, chute, and dust suppression options for fertilizer-specific applications.

This model is designed for fixed or rail-mounted port operation. For terminals requiring full quay mobility without rail infrastructure, see our All-Travel Fertilizer Shiploader which moves freely on wheels along the dock.

ZOOMRY Radial Telescopic Shiploader — Fertilizer Loading with Dust Suppression and Telescopic Chute

Why Choose a Radial Telescopic Ship Loader for Fertilizer?

Telescoping and radial features provide unmatched trimming capabilities for vessels from mini bulk carriers to Panamax at various port scales.
Powered wheels, tracks, or rail-mounted configurations fit a whole range of jetty and quayside designs for comprehensive on-site mobility.
Completely sealed feed-in, transfer, and discharge ports prevent fertilizer spills — with dust extraction and suppression options for handling hygroscopic materials like urea and potash.
Loading rate up to 3,000 TPH for barges and vessels — fully expanded lengths up to 58 meters.
Customizable to diverse fertilizer types — urea, DAP, MAP, potash, and NPK blends — with corrosion-resistant cladding options.

Features of Fertilizer Transport by Ship or Barge

Easy trimming of 3 hatches from one feed position — reduces vessel turnaround time.
Parallel drive wheels for fast hatch changeover and telescoping to pass through gear boat infrastructure.
Fully sealed dustproof design with optional dust extraction — critical for fertilizer dust control.
Telescopic and cascade chutes available — minimizing fertilizer degradation during loading.
Can be moved off-site when not in use — freeing up quay space for other operations.

Options for Fertilizer Ship and Barge Loading

Mobility: Drive wheels (inline, parallel, radial), track mounted (harsh ground), wheeled and rail mounted.
Dust Protection: Galvanized/canvas dust cover, retractable dust cover, dust extraction, integrated telescopic chute, 360° trimmer chute, rubber sock chute, water suppression.
Sealing: All transfer points sealed — including side panels and bottom trays — preventing fertilizer loss.
Electrical Integration: Communication interconnections, radio remote control, fully integrated generator, Ethernet connectivity.
Marine Specification Finishes: Corrosion-resistant coatings for coastal and high-humidity port environments.

Applications

The radial telescopic shiploader handles a wide range of bulk materials beyond fertilizer — including coal, grain, ores (iron, copper, gold, bauxite), aggregates, wood chips, wood pellets, sulfur, and cement clinker. It feeds from stationary conveyor systems, wheel loaders, trucks, overhead conveyors, and trip conveyors — adapting to existing port infrastructure.
