The invention relates to a charging/discharging equipment movable on a quay for charging of bulk (13) into a ship's hold (11), respectively for discharging therefrom, comprising—a first conveyor for transferring a batch of bulk (13) from a quay (7) at least to the level of the board of a ship (10),—a horizontal intermediate conveyor (3) connected to the discharging end of said first conveyor to receive the batch bulk (13),—an elevator frame (4) mounted in the front of the discharging end of said intermediate conveyor (3) as well as—an elevator platform (5) movable in the elevator frame (4) between the level of the intermediate conveyor (3) and the bottom end of the elevator frame (4) for transferring the batch bulk (13) into the hold (11). The invention is characterized in that the elevator frame (4) is pivotable between a horizontal position and a vertical operating position and controllably movable between two extreme positions in its longitudinal direction in relation to the intermediate conveyor (3) and that said first conveyor and the elevator platform (5) are provided with their own conveying belts, respectively, for receiving and discharging the batch of bulk (13).
