  • a loading feeder having a discharge end above the loading end of the first conveyor, and moveable between a raised position wherein the loading feeder is wholly or substantially above a portion of the first conveyor, and a lowered position wherein a part of the loading feeder is at or near a ground surface.
  • having the loading feeder at a lowered position allows lower access into the loading feeder, preferably direct access from a feeder lorry.
  • an extending arm conveyor having a loading end below the discharge end of the intermediate conveyor, and a distal discharge end, and wherein the loading feeder has a discharge end above the loading end of the intermediate conveyor, and is moveable between a raised position wholly or substantially above the intermediate conveyor, and a lowered position wherein a part of the loading feeder is at or near a ground surface.
  • a mobile conveyor comprising a base having a wheeled or tracked chassis, and supporting:
  • a loading feeder having a discharge end above a loading end of the first conveyor.
  • the loading feeder is moveable between a raised position wherein the loading feeder is wholly or substantially above a portion of the first conveyor, and a lowered position wherein a part of the loading feeder is at or near a ground surface.

  • the loading feeder is preferably moveable between a raised position wholly or substantially above a portion of the first conveyor, such as the intermediate conveyor, and a lowered position wherein a part of the loading feeder is at or near a ground surface. In its raised position, the loading feeder maybe located directly above the intermediate conveyor.
  • a part of the loading feeder In its lowered position, a part of the loading feeder is at or near a ground surface. Such a part of the loading feeder may be one or more ground engaging studs, buffers or feet, etc., extending from the other end of the loading feeder from its discharge end.
  • the loading feeder In its lowered position, the loading feeder may be more easily accessible to the conveyor, loader, feeder, etc. that is supplying material into the loading feeder.
  • the loading feeder is directly accessible to a feed lorry when the loading feeder is in its lowered position.
  • a feed lorry generally being a tipper truck or the like having material in an inclinable loader, can directly load its material into the loading feeder, thereby avoiding the need for an intermediate loading digger or the like to convey material from the back of the feed lorry and into the loading feeder.
  • Such an arrangement may still be desired, but the operator is now able to feed material directly from feed lorries, which can be and generally are public road vehicles.
  • the materials able to be conveyed by the present invention are as described herein, generally being bulk material such as granular or particulate material, some being termed ‘aggregates’, and including but not limited to crushed stone, sand, gravel etc. Such materials are commonly stockpiled for subsequent use, and ease of stockpiling is the major aim of many operators, using the minimum of conveying equipment needed to achieve the desired stockpile.
