ABSTRACT:
A movable grain storage unloading apparatus for removing corn and other farm product material from a silo and conveying the corn to an adjacent container. The apparatus includes an elongated horizontal frame section for insertion within a silo, a generally upwardly-inclined frame section attached to the horizontal frame section from which corn is discharged, a pair of laterally-extending guards attached to the upwardly-inclined frame section, and a flat, non-moving conveyor bed extending from a lower reach of the horizontal frame section to an upper reach of the upwardly-inclined frame section and adapted for the conveyance of corn thereon. The apparatus includes a pair of endless linked chains adjacent the conveyor bed with vertically-extended crosspieces secured therebetween, the linked chains adapted for slidable movement on the conveyor bed and the crosspieces adapted for facilitating corn removal by directing the corn therealong. The apparatus is used in combination with a specially configured interior floor having an elongated, rectangular-shaped groove. A plurality of inverted U-shaped tunnel sections are placed on the floor and over the groove, and are adapted for insertably receiving the horizontal frame section. A remote motor control switch with an elongated cable fixed to a motor unit on the apparatus allows control and operation by a workman within or without the silo, and at various distances from the silo.
