Bulk Material Loading Equipment · Engineered in Johannesburg since 1973
Telescopic Loading Spouts · Dust-Free Truck Loading · Flexible Loading Chutes
We solve dust, spillage and wear problems at bulk material loading points. From open truck loading to silo discharge, conveyor transfer points to mine loading stations. Johannesburg-built, South Africa-wide supply.
Every time bulk material falls from a conveyor head, silo outlet or hopper into a truck, wagon or stockpile, it generates a dust cloud and high-impact wear on the loading equipment. Over time this means dust complaints, compliance issues, product loss and frequent equipment replacement.
Stotko Engineering designs and supplies bulk material loading equipment including loading chutes, telescopic loading spouts and dust-free truck loading systems, specifically engineered to solve this problem. We have been doing it in Johannesburg since 1973.
Our approach is simple: wear-resistant materials, flexible design, quick-change spare parts. The result is loading equipment that keeps running longer and costs less to maintain than anything comparable on the South African market.
Discuss Your Loading Point Problem →
Most enquiries we receive fall into one of these three categories. Select the one that best describes your situation.
Visible dust clouds during truck loading from a silo, bin or conveyor. Health and safety issue. Environmental compliance problem. Product loss. Neighbour or community complaints.
You need a dust-free truck loading system
Get a Dust Control Solution →Loading chutes, spouts or discharge sleeves failing prematurely due to abrasion from coal, ore or aggregate. Frequent replacement. High maintenance cost. Unplanned downtime at the loading station.
You need wear-resistant loading equipment
Request a Wear-Resistant Solution →Loading into trucks, ships or stockpiles where the material surface level changes throughout the loading cycle. Long free-fall generating dust and breaking up coarse material.
You need a telescopic loading spout
Request a Telescopic Spout →Four engineering configurations covering the full range of bulk loading applications from standard silo discharge to fully dust-contained open truck loading.
The foundation of our product range. A flexible inner and outer hose construction that absorbs impact, reduces spillage and directs bulk material flow at silo outlets, conveyor head chutes and hopper discharge points. Even our standard flexible loading chute carries the Stotko wear-resistance design philosophy.
Also known as: flexible loading spout, discharge chute, silo loading chute
For high-abrasion applications where standard flexible hose would wear through quickly. Steel cone segments protect the interior against direct impact from coarse lumps and sharp mineral edges, while the flexible hose structure between cones absorbs movement. Individual cones are replaced when worn rather than the entire chute.
Also known as: armoured loading chute, wear-resistant loading spout, cone chute
The industry-standard solution for variable drop height loading. Inner sections extend downward as the vessel fills, maintaining a consistently short drop height. This is the most effective way to reduce dust generation at source without fully enclosing the loading operation. Used extensively in South African mining, cement, grain and quarry loading operations.
Also known as: telescopic loading chute, loading spout, extendable loading chute, truck loading spout
Our most sophisticated product: a fully enclosed, dust-free truck loading system with steadied head for accurate positioning over the truck body. The flexible outer dust skirt seals against the truck rim, completely containing dust generated during loading. Compliant with South African environmental dust emission regulations and MHSA dust exposure requirements.
Also known as: dust-free loading chute, enclosed truck loader, dust suppression loading spout
Six qualities that make Stotko loading equipment the long-term lower-cost choice for South African bulk handling operations.
Wear-resistant materials and reinforced cone design means our loading equipment outlasts comparable products, resulting in lower total cost of ownership across the equipment lifetime.
All wear components are designed for in-field replacement without specialised tooling. Spare parts supplied from Johannesburg stock, giving you less downtime at the loading station.
Long-life materials combined with simple component-level replacement rather than full equipment replacement keeps maintenance costs down across the entire service life.
Steel cone reinforcement provides maximum wear resistance where it matters, while the flexible hose absorbs movement, impact and vibration without cracking or splitting.
Fixed loading chutes for consistent drop heights, or telescopic loading spouts that extend and retract to maintain optimal discharge height as the vessel fills. The choice that fits your operation.
Designed and built in Johannesburg with 50+ years of field experience across South African mining, bulk handling, grain storage and industrial loading operations.
Our bulk material loading equipment is in operation across these South African industry sectors.
Dust-free loading systems and telescopic spouts for loading haul trucks and tipper trucks from silos, hoppers or conveyor heads. Eliminates visible dust during loading operations.
Steel cone reinforced and telescopic loading spouts for coal, iron ore, chrome, manganese and precious metal loading stations. Built for the wear rates of South African hard rock mining.
Standard and dust-free loading chutes for grain silos, feed mills and powder storage. Handles maize, wheat, soya, fertiliser, cement and fine powder materials without product loss or dust.
Telescopic loading spouts for loading crushed stone, gravel and sand from quarry hoppers. The telescopic design handles high free-fall heights without generating excessive dust or degrading the product.
Flexible loading chutes for controlled discharge from concrete and steel silos, bins and hoppers to conveyors, weigh hoppers and loading bays. Reduces impact, segregation and dust at the transfer point.
Loading equipment for ship hatch and open rail wagon loading where dust containment, accurate placement and consistent throughput are required. Custom configurations available on enquiry.
To size and select the correct loading equipment for your application, it helps to supply the following information when you contact us. The more detail you provide, the more accurate and useful the recommendation will be.
A straightforward four-step process from first contact to loading equipment in operation.
Tell us about your bulk material, your loading operation and the specific problem you are facing, whether that is dust, wear, variable drop height or something else.
We recommend the right equipment type - flexible chute, cone-reinforced chute, telescopic spout or dust-free system - and advise on configuration and sizing.
