A specialized mechanical device for unloading coal, ore, and other goods at ports and harbors. There are various types, such as those using cranes and chain conveyors. They are broadly divided into fixed and traveling types, and depending on the type of trolley, they are divided into four types: rope trolley type, man trolley type, swivel trolley type, and those with a retractable crane. They range from small-scale types that unload cargo from small vessels such as barges, to large-capacity types that unload cargo from main ships and ships dedicated to transporting ore. In addition to being used at general wharves, they are also widely used at spinning factories, chemical plants, gas plants, thermal power plants, steelworks, etc.
