Quadrant - Radial, Linear and Dual Linear Shiploaders
Tenova Quadrant Shiploader is a very flexible solution to reach the best compromise between wharf civil works cost and the loading system.
Tenova Quadrant Shiploaders are suitable to operate on a wide range of vessels size and to handle from very free flow bulk material to complex very abrasive or sticky products.
Overview
Tenova Quadrant ship loaders cover a wide-range of flow rates and vessel sizes.
These equipment are specifically designed to client's requirements and incorporate various solutions according to their specific application and existing site conditions, always with focus on environmental impact minimization.
Tenova quadrant shiploaders can be supplied in three different configurations selected depending Clients specific needs: Radial Type (front radial rail and rear pivot), Linear Type (from linear rail and rear revers bogies) or Dual Linear (from linear rail and rear perpendicular and linear rail) and all of them can perform multiple movements: front travelling (radial or linear) with luffing and shuttling booms. In addition, they can be equipped with a variety of different loading chutes such as cascade type, telescopic type or curved type, depending on specific applications, customer special needs and required environmental conditions.
Tenova is specialized in fabricating and fully assembling off site and in shipping to final destination the shiploader in a single unit by Heavy Lift Ship (Lo-Lo) or by Flat Deck Ship or Barge (Ro-Ro).
