ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system comprising a platform positioned above and spaced from a building roof for receiving a motorized or manual stone ballast transport cart, and a conveyor positioned beneath the platform for receiving ballast stones unloaded from the cart and conveying the stones over the edge of the roof. The platform is essentially flat and parallel to the roof and includes two ramps positioned at opposite ends of the platform, an opening located directly above the conveyor for permitting passage of ballast stones from the cart to the conveyor, and a grate in the opening with through openings in the grate large enough to permit passage of ballast stones and small enough so that the grate provides a path for the removal machine over the opening. The conveyor is an endless belt conveyor and is driven by a drive belt connected to an internal combustion engine. A chute is disposed at the end of the conveyor overhanging the edge of the building roof to receive the ballast stones from the conveyor and direct the ballast stones to an awaiting truck or receptacle at ground level.
