The mobile ship loader has a throughput of up to 200 to 8,400 tons per hour. It offers short berthing times and is a reliable bulk material loader. A ship-loading conveyor is a versatile piece of equipment used in ports and terminals to load bulk materials such as coal, ore, grains, and other commodities onto ships. It is designed to be mobile and can be easily moved along the quay or dock to reach different loading points on various vessels. Mobile ship loaders offer several advantages, including increased efficiency, flexibility, and reduced infrastructure requirements.
How Does a Mobile Ship Loader Operate?
Positioning: The mobile ship loader is positioned at the appropriate location on the dock, aligning it with the cargo hold of the ship to be loaded.
Conveyor Setup: The conveyor system is extended and configured to the required height and angle to reach the ship's cargo hold.
Material Loading: Bulk materials are fed onto the Conveyor Belt from the storage area, which could be a stockpile or a storage facility near the dock.
Loading Onto Ship: As the conveyor moves, the materials are transported along its length and deposited into the ship's hold. The conveyor's adjustable height ensures even distribution of the material within the hold.
Monitoring and Control: Operators oversee the loading process using various controls and monitoring systems. These systems help regulate the flow of materials, prevent overloading, and ensure safe and efficient loading.
Adjustments: If needed, adjustments are made to the conveyor's height, angle, and loading rate to accommodate the ship's changing draft (the depth of the ship in the water) as it is loaded.
Completion and Moving: Once the ship's hold is adequately loaded, the conveyor is retracted, and the mobile ship loader can be moved to another loading point on the dock or to a different vessel.
Mobile ship loaders offer advantages in terms of reducing infrastructure costs since they eliminate the need for fixed loading equipment. Additionally, they allow for quicker loading and unloading operations, which can lead to reduced turnaround times for ships at the port.
Features
- Excellent Conveyor Parts: ZOOMRY designs and produces CEMA standard idlers and pulleys in-house, guaranteeing steady quality. Ship loaders adopt FLENDER/SEW motors with premium Chinese brand bearings, and DIN standard conveyor belts for environmental friendliness.
- Galvanized Rain Cover / Sliding Canvas Cover: Available in galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, fiberglass, or painted steel. Screens are optional to shield the return belt. Sliding canvas covers retract and extend with the conveyor to protect material and prevent dust.

What Are the Uses for Mobile Shiploaders?
The primary purpose of mobile ship loaders is to load bulk cargo onto ships or barges. For cargo runners, it offers a highly effective loading method. Our company offers full ship loaders (also known as ship loading systems), barge loaders, and vessel loaders. Our equipment can be used to load a ship from vehicles or stockpiles. When handling bulk materials including coal, fertilizer, aggregate, sand, wood chips, wood pellets, crushed rocks, grains, iron ore, copper ore, bauxite, etc., our mobile barge loader conveyor system equipment is frequently utilized.
What Kinds of Conveyors Are There for Ship Loading?
- Rail-mounted Shiploader
- All Wheel Travel Shiploaders
- Tracked Radial Telescopic Shiploaders
- Direct Feed Barge Shiploaders
- Transshipping Barge Loaders
- Others

How to Load Bulk Materials onto Vessels in High Efficiency?
How to load bulk materials onto ships efficiently is an unavoidable problem in terminal operation and management. Bintulu Port, a state-owned port in Malaysia, is a large deep-water port that can berth large bulk carriers of 50,000 to 120,000 tons, including Barge, Handysize, Handymax, Panamax and Capesize. The main materials handled by the Port Authority are Palm Kernel Expeller, Palm Kernel Shell, referred to as PKE/PKS, and fertilizer. In the future, they may also load some iron ore into ships.
Based on the above needs, the Bintulu Port Authority began to investigate excellent mobile ship loader factories in the market. They soon found and contacted ZOOMRY Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. located in Hebei Province, China. This is a high-tech enterprise that has been specialized in the research and development and manufacturing of bulk material conveying equipment for many years. Their main products are divided into intelligent equipment, such as: mobile shiploader, telescopic shiploader, radial shiploader, mobile stacker, truck unloader, portable grasshopper etc. Conveyor systems, such as: long-distance overland belt conveyor, pipe belt conveyor, etc. ZOOMRY has many years of experience in the production and manufacturing of mobile ship loaders, with their own high-quality long-life rollers and pulleys.
