In construction sites, the efficiency of bulk material transportation directly determines project progress and cost control. Traditional unloading methods rely on fixed equipment or manual operations, facing core issues such as long material accumulation cycles, limited site space, and difficulties in equipment relocation. For example, a 30-ton truck takes 1.5 hours to unload concrete aggregates using fixed conveyors, which require lengthy deployment and occupy significant space, leading to chaotic site logistics. Zoomry Heavy Industry’s Mobile truck unloader addresses these bottlenecks with modular design, hydraulic intelligent leveling, and high-throughput conveying systems, reducing single-truck unloading time to under 25 minutes while enabling rapid relocation.
Technical Analysis and Parameter Comparison
Zoomry’s Mobile Truck Unloader features dual or quadruple-lane ramp designs, allowing trucks to directly drive onto the ramps and dump materials into the hopper. The hopper’s opening width accommodates 30-ton trucks and loaders, with an optimized incline angle of 6.7° (12.1% slope) to ensure zero material residue. An integrated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) scraper system automatically cleans fine particles adhering to the belt, preventing blockages.
Equipped with 1400mm-1800mm wide belts, the unloader achieves a conveying capacity of 200-1800 tons per hour (t/h) and a maximum discharge height of 6.3 meters, directly connecting to stackers or ship loaders. The chassis, built with truck-grade beam frames and optional super-heavy-duty tires or crawler tracks, supports up to 50 tons, making it suitable for rugged mining terrain. Its hydraulic support system, featuring hydrostatic legs, completes leveling within 5 minutes on uneven construction grounds, improving stability by 35% over traditional mechanical legs. Powered by 2×22 kW electro-hydraulic pumps, the system reduces energy consumption by 20% and maintains a failure rate 15% below industry averages.

Multi-Industry Solutions
Construction Sites
Most construction sites face narrow spaces and multi-task operations. Traditional fixed unloaders require pre-installed foundations and cannot be moved, occupying valuable workspace. Zoomry’s Mobile Truck Unloader, weighing only 15-40 tons (depending on the model), can be transported via standard flatbed trucks and deployed within 24 hours. Crawler models (e.g., ZRLD-TU1800) move autonomously on soft soil, avoiding ground damage.
Port Logistics
Port bulk unloading must handle tens of thousands of tons within vessel berthing windows. Traditional gantry cranes are inefficient (~500 t/h) and vulnerable to tides and weather. Zoomry’s 1800mm belt model (ZRLS-TU1800) achieves 1800 t/h continuous conveying, with hydraulic ramps enabling rapid lane switching. It processes 300 trucks daily, cutting port delays by 40%. For higher demands, Zoomry’s 8400 t/h mobile shiploader is also available.
Mining and Quarries
Traditional unloaders in mining environments suffer from rapid wear due to rock impacts, often lasting under 2 years. Zoomry’s unloader uses Hardox 450 wear-resistant steel for hoppers and chutes, paired with puncture-resistant tires or crawler tracks, extending service life to over 10 years while maintaining 5000-ton daily throughput.
Grain Silos and Food Processing
The grain industry requires contamination prevention. The unloader’s fully enclosed dust-proof structure uses FDA-compliant stainless steel hoppers and belts. A precisely controlled 6.7° incline prevents grain damage from excessive angles.

Application Case
The open-pit chromium mine in Limpopo, South Africa, faced two critical challenges: frequent equipment breakdowns due to rainy-season mud and extreme wear from high-density ore (4.5-5.0 t/m³). In 2023, surging export orders exposed flaws in their manual unloading process—40-ton trucks queued for grab cranes, taking 2 hours per unload, while rain flooded the platform, halting operations. Worse, ore required 1.2 km of secondary transport to the port, costing $7.2/ton and eroding profits.
Zoomry’s team proposed an integrated “Mobile Unloader + Short-Haul Conveyor” solution. Three crawler ZRLD-TU1800 unloaders were deployed at the mining face. Their super-heavy dual crawlers (ground pressure <10 kPa) navigated muddy terrain, while hydrostatic legs auto-leveled on 5° slopes in 5 minutes. The 4.2-meter-wide hopper accommodated Cat 777D trucks, and a 6.7° incline ensured smooth ore flow into the 1800mm steel-cord belt, which transferred ore directly to the port at 1500 t/h, eliminating stockyard transfers.
In the first month, each unit handled 4000 tons daily, slashing per-truck unloading time to 18 minutes. Operations Director James Van Niekerk calculated savings: three units processed 864,000 tons over six months, completing orders 23 days early and cutting logistics costs from $7.2 to $3.8/ton, saving $2.72 million. Even during two weeks of heavy rain, the unloaders maintained 99% uptime, with sealed drives resisting mud ingress.
Initially skeptical about durability, the client praised Hardox 450 chutes and ceramic-coated rollers—after 16-hour shifts, belt deviation stayed within ±25 mm, with zero critical failures. The case is now featured in the South African Mining Association’s whitepaper as a benchmark for transitioning from grab cranes to continuous conveying. The mine plans to purchase two more units and extend Zoomry’s solution to six group-owned sites.
