ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for trimming and emptying bulk material in a cargo room (2) comprises two rake devices (18, 19) which at one end are connected to the lower end of a cargo lifter in the form of a vertical conveyor (16). The cargo lifter is suspended in a housing (9) which is movable transversely of the longitudinal direction of the ship on a chassis (8), which in turn is drivable on rails (4) along the top of the hatch coamings (22) of the ship. The cargo lifter feeds a transverse conveyor (12) on the chassis (8), which conveyor in turn feeds a conveyor (5) running in the longitudinal direction of the ship. The rakes (18, 19) are pivotable in the vertical plane and may be pivoted about a vertical axis, preferably together with the cargo lifter (16). When moving the apparatus from one cargo room to another or to parking position, the cargo lifter and the rakes are raised up into a telescoping extension (14) of the housing (9).
