ABSTRACT:
A hopper barge has a cover formed by a plurality of telescoping housings with the central housing being the highest and the other housings decreasing in height to the outermost housing at each end. The central housing has a transverse plate extending across it at the center of its length. The outermost housing at each end is driven separately with the other housings having cooperating elements to engage each other to cause the housings on each side of the transverse plate of the central housing to sequentially move in or out with respect to the central housing. All of the housings have glides or wheels on each side for riding on flat surfaces supported on opposite sides of the barge.
