Telestack secures major ‘Truck to Ship’ contract for loading aggregate rock in Norway
(Posted on 23/02/26)
Northern Ireland based Telestack has announced the award of a significant contract to supply a fully customised ‘Truck to Ship’ aggregate loading system for Kvantum in Norway. This innovate project reinforces Telestack’s leadership in providing innovative, client focused material handling solutions for another Ports and Inland Terminal customer in Europe.
Purpose built to meet the customer’s site requirements, the Telestack system consists of 2 x Truck Unloading systems feeding a Link conveyor then to a TB 52 (170FT) Radial Telescopic Shiploader operating at 2,500TPH of Aggregates (1.6 t/m3). Once commissioned, the Ship-loading system will load Handymax Vessel delivering a consistent, reliable and robust material handling process for the customer.
The customer and operator of the system will be ‘Kvantum AS’ who were first incorporated in May, 2010 with their main activities including chartering brokers, ship agents within coastal trade, along with dry bulk sale and distribution of aggregates throughout western Europe.
The project award was agreed in conjunction with our long-standing Dealer Representative in Norway – Fredheim Maskin (www.fredheim-maskin.no) who for over 10 x years have been a loyal and innovative partner with Telestack to develop market leading products and customer focused after-sales support, which is critical for the overall success of this project and others in their region.
The heavy-duty system is design to meet the characteristics of the material and site conditions, key features of the system include:
- Direct loading to Vessels from Articulated Dump Trucks (ADT) - 45 tonnes Payload to Vessels allowing for an efficient ship-loading process.
- Dual Truck Discharge for 2,500TPH loading capacity - High Capacity through ADT Trucks for enhanced productivity and maximum efficiency
- Robust Aggregate Rock loading system – Handling 0 – 150mm (0 – 6 inch) Norwegian at high capacity is testament to heavy duty design from the proven Telestack design.
- Utilising the radial and telescopic features of the TB 52 Shiploader will allow for an efficient loading system to trim the vessel hold and maintain production rates
- Rapid Deployment system which will be operational in less than 9 x months to ensure a ‘quick’ turnaround from ‘Inception to Operation’
- Minimal Infrastructure on site – The site has minimal infrastructure to allow loading of the vessels, but the modular nature and limited civil requirements of the Telestack system allow for a seamless integration on site.
This latest contract highlights the continued trust placed in Telestack’s engineering and project delivery teams by leading operators worldwide. The collaboration with Kvantum and the local representative – Fredheim Maskin showcases Telestack’s ability to engineer robust and high performance systems.
“We are delighted to be awarded this contract by Kvantum,” said Carl Donnelly – International Sales Manager. “We greatly appreciate the trust shown by Kvantum in Telestack to deliver on this robust system. We understand the importance of this project for Kvantum are looking forward to going above and beyond to meet their expectations”
