Mobile Truck Unloader

A wheeled unloader that tips truck-borne bulk material straight onto a conveyor to yard or process.

Mobile Truck Unloader

The mobile truck unloader is built to discharge bulk material from trucks quickly and intelligently, serving mining, construction, chemical, port, cement and power sites. It tips the load onto a conveyor that feeds either a stockyard or a production line, raising efficiency while cutting labor. Adjustable platform and hopper sizes suit different truck types.

Key Features and Engineering Highlights

Mobile undercarriage

Bottom-mounted traveling wheels let the unit shift quickly between work sites and follow the material stacking location.

VFD drive

Variable-frequency motors match power output to real-time load, saving energy during partial feeding.

Adjustable platform

Platform height and hopper size adjust to fit different truck types for clean, fast unloading.

Strong steel truss

A high-strength steel truss is light yet torsion-resistant, absorbing heavy load impacts for long life.

Continuous duty

Designed for uninterrupted unloading, it greatly improves throughput and lowers labor cost versus manual methods.

Unloading mechanism

A truck backs onto the adjustable platform and tips; the material drops into the hopper and is conveyed away at a controlled rate. The frame inclination and platform height adjust to the truck and to the receiving yard or line.

VFD motors trim power to the live load, so the unloader draws only what it needs and runs smoothly through start-stop delivery cycles.

Models and adjustment

TU1215 and TU1218 use a 1200 mm belt over 15 m and 18 m, discharging at 4.1 m and 5.1 m, stockpiling 100-200 m³ at 700 t/h with bulk weights of 160-320 t. The platform and hopper are sized to the truck fleet.

Bottom-mounted wheels give site-to-site mobility, while the steel truss keeps the structure light and rigid under impact.

Sites and materials

The unloader suits ports, inland terminals, mines, quarries, storage yards, power stations, cement plants and recycling plants. It handles coal, grain, soybean, fertilizer, iron/copper/gold/bauxite ore, aggregates, wood chip, wood pellet, sulphur, cement clinker, palm kernel shells and sand.

Where tracked travel is preferred, the radial truck unloader adds slewing; for wheeled radial stockpiling see the wheeled mobile conveyor.

  • Mines, quarries and cement plants
  • Power stations and silos
  • Recycling and fertilizer sites

Selection and operation guidance

Size the platform to your largest truck and set the hopper to avoid bridging on sticky loads. Use the VFD to soften starts and protect the belt during peak tipping.

Position the unloader so its discharge feeds directly to the next conveyor or pile, removing a loader cycle and the cost that comes with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What belt and capacity does it use?

A 1200 mm belt over 15 m or 18 m, rated 700 t/h, with bulk weights of 160-320 t.

Can it fit different trucks?

Yes. Platform height and hopper size adjust, and frame inclination matches varied feed and discharge heights.

How does the VFD help?

It scales motor power to the live load, cutting energy use during partial or stop-start feeding.

Which materials can it unload?

Coal, grain, ores, fertilizer, aggregates, cement clinker, wood products, sulphur, sand and more.
