We’re honoured to receive the Best Ship Loading/Unloading System award (proudly sponsored by North Sea Port) for the Telestack TS 52 Ship-Unloader for Stema Shipping UK Ltd, operating in the Port of Sheerness, Kent, UK.
Telestack is thrilled to announce our success at the prestigious International Bulk Journal Awards. This strategic collaboration, facilitated by our valued UK ports partner, Cooper Handling Group Ltd, provides a key player in the European aggregates and shipping sector with a robust and reliable material handling solution.
Handling material from self-discharge vessels has traditionally relied on multiple wheel loaders, excavators, and material handlers - adding cost, complexity, and safety risks. The TS 52 changes that method of handling.
✅ Key Highlights:
Massive Throughput: Over 2,500+ tonnes per hour with a 52m (170ft) stacker and 1400mm (55") belt
Efficient Stockpiling: Stack 100,000+ tonnes from a single position
Smart Design: Radial & telescopic features allow separation of materials into individual storage bays
Operational Flexibility: Variable speed control (VSD), radio remote for all functions, dual walkways for maintenance, and night operation lighting
Built for Ports: 250-micron marine-grade paint for corrosion resistance
This award-winning system delivers cost savings, improved safety, and unmatched efficiency compared to traditional methods.
We are incredibly proud of our team’s expertise and dedication, which make achievements like this possible. A special thanks to Carl Donnelly, Dean McGroarty and Will Stewart, who represented us at the event, as well as our incredible UK partners at Cooper Handling Group Ltd.
We also extend heartfelt gratitude to International Bulk Journal for championing excellence in the bulk industry and to our parent company, Astec Industries, Inc. for their ongoing support.
To our customers, partners, and the entire Telestack Limited team - thank you for being an essential part of our journey.
