👉 A boatloader is a type of loader used to transport heavy loads such as coal, grain, or other materials from a truck or trailer onto a ship. It is typically powered by an internal combustion engine and consists of several components including a pulley system, a belt drive, and a chain-driven hoist. The load is transported through a series of ramps and pulleys to reach the desired loading point on the ship, where it can be unloaded using manual or automated methods.
