VESSELS TO SHORE
Tower type VIGAN equipment are particularly well suited for the unloading of coastal vessels and/or barges with a width (beam) less than about 15 – 20 meters.
A boom larger than 17-18 meters is usually sufficient for reaching most of the hold opening area and in order to ensure efficient unloading operations.
Onto trucks & railway cars
Most frequently those equipment are on wheels and towable (self propelled as an option) to allow an easy displacement along the ship but can be also on rails.
