ABSTRACT:
A loading and conveying machine has crawler treads and a frame extending substantially forwardly thereof. A conveyor is mounted for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis and extends rearwardly from ahead of the frame to the back of the machine. An apron is pivotally mounted at the front of the frame and receives material from a loading implement and deposits it onto the conveyor. The machine has an approach angle providing a space defined by a ground plane and a forwardly and upwardly inclined plane tangential to the arc described by the front of the treads and extending through the lower front frame corner. The apron is angularly adjustable, and furthermore, the apron pivot is vertically shiftable to thereby change the apron attitude so that it can be wholly positioned above the inclined approach plane without obstruction by the conveyor. In addition, by shifting the apron pivot, the apron-to-conveyor gap can be maintained at a desirable minimum through a large range of conveyor positions; and the dig-in angle of the apron is also adjustable.
