Time is money. Optimizing the unloading time is what it is all about when it comes to machine selection. You can load many types of machines inside a shiphold but none would provide the perfect match for the application as the Track-Type Loader can thanks to the combination of tracks giving traction, loader arm for the reach and engine at back for the machine balance.

Track-Type Loaders

Shiphold/Port Handling
Infinite Variable Speeds (hydrostatic transmission)
- Smooth controls, more operator comfort
- Increased operator productivity
Joysticks for Transmission and Work Tools
- Easy to maneuver
- Intuitive controls minimize training requirements
High Reach Work Tool
- Loader arm allows cleaning of the walls of the hold
- Increases versatility of the machine
Track-Type Undercarriage
- Low ground pressure for better traction in some materials
- Several shoe widths available or can be manufactured at order to meet customer requirements
- Optional center hole shoes reduce track packing and track chain tightening which extends undercarriage life
Lifting Eyes
- Front eyes welded on the Track Roller Frame (TRF)
- Rear eyes mounted on the main frame
- Wide spacing for good stability during lifting
Sound
- Sound suppressed cab and air suspended seat reduce operator fatigue and increase concentration
- The sound levels measured per ISO 6396 reach 74 dB(A) for 953D
Visibility
- Large windows all around operator and clipped engine enclosure provide excellent view to the environment and the work tool
- Day and night operations are lighted with 8 halogen lights: 4 lights facing frontward, 2 lights facing rearward and 2 facing sideways
Rear Engine and Cooling System Location
- Improved machine balance
- Engine less exposed to dust, increase engine life
- Limit plugging of radiator core
- Better visibility at front
- Reduce O&O cost
Reversing Fan
- The air flow can be either automatically or manually reversed. Maintains proper heat transfer by blowing material out of the radiator core.
- The hinged radiator grill gives easy access to the cooling system of the machine
- The hinged hydraulic fan makes the cleaning of the radiator easy and faster
Maintenance and Serviceability
- Filters and other systems are accessible from the ground on each side of the machine
- Cab can be tilted 90° with a crane or 30° with a hydraulic jack allowing job site repair
- Makes the maintenance of the machine easier for engine or hydraulic components
Engine Air Precleaner
- Debris is centrifugally removed from the airstream and delivers cleaner air to the engine filter
- Air filter life is extended
Work Tools and Optional Equipment

Designed to meet your needs
Work Tool Options
- Pin-on trim blade for all material
- Pin-on trim blade for coal
- Pin-on general purpose bucket
- Pin-on multi purpose bucket
Additional Fuel Tank
Additional fuel tank increases the working time into the shiphold. The unloading process is simplified and the ship unloading duration is optimized. • The 953D can work 25 hours without refill
For additional information on the Track-Type Loader D series, please refer to the 953D, 963D and 973D specalogs.
Features
When the attachments are available a typical Track-Type Loader working in the shiphold/port handling application needs to be equipped with the following recommended features:
- Four lifting eyes
- Joystick for the transmission control
- Front guard for hydraulic tank
- Guards for lift and tilt cylinders
- Guard for the track rollers
- Heavy duty bumper
- Reversing fan
- Engine air precleaner
- E-SALT tracks equipped with center hole shoes
- Trim blade or bucket (with or without quick coupler)
- Lights facing forward, backward and sideways
- Windshield sealed
- Hydraulic tilt cab system
