Project Scope

An environmentally orientated machine for loading waste refinery product from the zinc works in Hobart. The wide span shiploader provided an almost fully enclosed product stream from a stockpile within a wharf shed to the receiving vessels hold. The shiploader functions included long travel, luffing and shuttling. It was also equipped with dust extraction units at key transfers.
