A rail-car unloading apparatus and method for the same configured to move over a surface. The rail-car unloading apparatus comprises a frame structure, having opposite first and second sides, hydraulic arms and hydraulic legs. The hydraulic arms are coupled to the frame structure with at least two of the hydraulic arms extendable from the first side of the frame structure and at least two of the hydraulic arms extendable from the second side of the frame structure. The hydraulic legs are coupled to the hydraulic arms and configured to extend transverse from the arm portions. The hydraulic legs are operable to move the frame structure between a non-elevated position and an elevated position. With this arrangement, the hydraulic arms are configured to move the frame structure laterally toward the hydraulic legs disposed on one of the first side and second side of the frame structure while the frame structure is in the elevated position.
