ABSTRACT:
A trash skimmer work boat collects and discharges debris from the front or bow. A storage conveyor positioned approximately amidships and along the center line, and is mounted to the hull on a slide or track arrangement that permits fore and aft motion. A collection and discharge conveyor is mounted at the bow portion of the hull. The forward conveyor can be oriented in a trash collection position or in a trash discharge position. The storage conveyor is brought sternward so that there is clearance for the proximal end of the forward conveyor to be raised or lowered, and then is brought back forward so that the storage conveyor is in position to receive debris or to discharge it. Auxiliary floats at the sides of the boat hull provide additional buoyant support for the front conveyor, and are detachable so they can be removed for road transport of the boat.
