ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for and method of reclaiming refuse from a stored pile thereof which basically includes a vertically swingable drag type conveyor mechanism mounted upon a traveling support which is movable lengthwise along one side of the refuse pile, the conveyor being swingable into work-engaging contact with the surface of the pile to drag refuse therefrom. The conveyor when swung into such contact with the pile surface is shiftable by means of its support lengthwise of the pile so as to enable it to scan the pile surface from end to end thereof and so remove from the pile incremental strata of the refuse to be reclaimed. The swingable conveyor, operating in the manner of a boom, transfers the refuse reclaimed from the storage pile to a second conveyor disposed in a trench extending parallel to the direction of movement of the traveling support for the boom conveyor, from which trench the reclaimed refuse by means of said second conveyor is discharged for transport to a point removed from the storage pile.
