Truck Unloading & Hopper Solutions

A mobile truck unloader turns a dump truck into a live feed point: the truck backs onto the integrated hopper, tips, and the conveyor carries material directly to a stacker, crusher or ship loader.

The Truck Unloading Bottleneck

Without a dedicated unloader, trucks wait for loaders to dig them out, creating queues, idle drivers and dust. Double handling adds cost and material degradation at every step.

A mobile unloader removes the loader from the loop: one operator discharges a truck in minutes and the conveyor moves material exactly where it is needed.

Recommended Equipment Lineup

The mobile truck unloader pairs an integrated receiving hopper with a discharge conveyor for direct feed to stacking or processing. The radial truck unloader adds slewing to place material across an arc without moving the truck.

For sites that unload and immediately stack, a low feeder track stacker receives the truck and builds the pile in one pass, cutting footprint and handling.

• Mobile truck unloader — hopper plus conveyor for direct feed.
• Radial truck unloader — slewing discharge across an arc.
• Low feeder track stacker — unload and stack in one machine.
• Wheeled mobile conveyor — link unloader to the next stage.

Layout & Workflow

Trucks tip into the unloader hopper; an adjustable gate and belt control the feed rate to protect downstream equipment. The discharge conveyor then carries material to a stacker, screen or loader, often via a grasshopper conveyor for extra reach.

Because the unloader is mobile, the receiving point moves with the pile or process, so trucks take the shortest route and the yard stays orderly.

Planning & ROI Tips

Size the hopper and belt to your truck size and peak t/h so unloading never limits the plant. Low-profile decks suit standard dump trucks; specify liner and belt speed for sticky or abrasive cargo.

Quantify savings from eliminated loader hours and shorter truck queues, and keep wear parts such as belt cleaners and impact beds on the spare-parts program to protect uptime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a mobile truck unloader do?

It combines a receiving hopper with a discharge conveyor so a dump truck tips directly into your process or stockpile, removing loaders and double handling from the unloading step.

Mobile or radial truck unloader — which to choose?

Choose the mobile truck unloader for straight inline feed; choose the radial truck unloader when you need to place discharged material across an arc without repositioning the truck.

Can a truck unloader also build a stockpile?

Yes. A low feeder track stacker receives the truck and stacks in one pass, while a mobile truck unloader feeds a separate stacker via a grasshopper conveyor.
