MacGregor GravityVibe
A new gravity self-unloading system enhances flexibility and efficiency in bulk handling
MacGregor GravityVibe
MacGregor has introduced an enhanced gravity self-unloading system, GravityVibe™, designed to enable bulk carriers to handle a wider range of cargo types — and in greater volumes. The system features a patent-pending vibrating unloader that reduces internal friction, making it easier to discharge coarse materials like wood chips from the cargo hold.
Key Benefits:
- Increased Cargo Flexibility
- Improved Operational Efficiency
- Reduced Equipment Requirements

GravityVibe in action: Real-world validation and system optimisation
Proven in Theory, Validated in Practice
Real-world test results confirm what simulations have already shown: significantly higher efficiency for self-unloaders when handling coarse materials.

GravityVibe unlocks more flexible and efficient bulk-cargo handling
GravityVibe™ system transforms traditional self-unloading by making it possible to discharge even coarse materials like wood chips at low slope angles, without sacrificing cargo space. With patent-pending vibration technology, it breaks through the limitations of conventional designs, boosts earning potential, and lowers emissions — all while simplifying maintenance and improving safety on board.
MacGregor launches GravityVibe
“Bulk carrier cargo holds are typically designed to handle a specific kind of material, meaning the ship owner is somewhat limited in the type of assignments they can take on,” said Mikael Hägglund, Sales Manager, Self-unloading systems and Cranes, MacGregor. “The MacGregor GravityVibeTM overcomes these limitations to afford owners greater flexibility when taking on new contracts, and it also boosts earning potential and environmental performance by optimising cargo capacity.”
