ABSTRACT:
A rotatable conveyor apparatus for selectively discharging bulk material in any direction from the hopper of a belly-dump trailer is operatively supported in horizontal cantilever fashion by a rotatable material feed joint located beneath the hopper for rotation about a generally vertical axis. The conveyor and feed joint assembly are rigidly attached to and supported by an elongate, vertically oriented rotary shaft which is journaled in widely-spaced bearings which are positionally fixed by a rigid framework within the hopper of the trailer. The rigidly connected shaft, feed joint, and conveyor are operatively carried by the vehicle and may be rotated in unison to discharge the load to either side of the trailer without operatively disconnecting the conveyor from the trailer.
