A de-stacking device for layer de-stacking stacking layers from standard transport pallets which include a multi-layer stack of stacking layers arranged on top of each other, wherein an optional bending stiff spacer is arranged under each of the stacking layers, wherein the stacking layers are formed by a plurality of stable standing transport goods that are stackable and arranged adjacent to each other, the de-stacking device including a placement and separation table for a respective stacking layer that is removed from the stack of the transport pallet and includes or does not include the optional spacer; a transfer device for transferring the respective stacking layer that includes or does not include the optional spacer from the stack of the transport pallet onto the placement and separation table, wherein the placement and separation table includes a fixation device for the optional spacer.

A portable conveyor apparatus comprises a trailer arranged for towing behind a highway tractor with ramps which are positionable so that a dump truck may drive over the trailer and discharge particulate material into an inlet supported on a frame of the trailer. The conveyor apparatus features a first conveyor carried by the trailer frame so as to extend longitudinally thereof for carrying the particulate material along the trailer. The apparatus also features a second conveyor which is carried by the trailer frame adjacent the first conveyor for transferring the particulate material received and carried by the first conveyor to another location beyond the trailer. The second conveyor is positionable in a working position such as when it operates to convey the particulate material and in a transport position where the second conveyor lies within the periphery of the trailer frame during transportation.

A portable drive-over conveyor is provided with a plurality of inlets and first and second conveyors so as to be arranged for simultaneously unloading multiple trucks side by side. Furthermore, the portable drive-over conveyor may be used in a system with another such drive-over conveyor in parallel to unload a truck having multiple discharges at each of the discharges by forming a bridge in between center structures of the drive-over conveyors allowing the truck to cross over the side by side drive-over conveyors and position the multiple discharges over the inlets of the side by side conveyors. Moreover, the second conveyor is swivably mountable on a frame of the drive-over conveyor such that particulate material is dischargeable at different locations angularly of a longitudinal axis of the trailer. The portable drive-over conveyor includes other novel features which are usable on a drive-over conveyor of the same type having at least one inlet.

Systems and methods for processing debris from job sites are disclosed. Carts for receiving the debris are also disclosed. Each cart has a base, a plurality of wheels extending downwardly from the base relative to a vertical axis, and a plurality of walls extending upwardly from the base. The walls and the base of each cart cooperate to define a debris-receiving space. The carts can be engaged by a lifting apparatus that rotates along an arcuate path to position the carts in an unloading position.

A conveyor comprising a support frame, an inclined tube mounted to the support frame, a hopper at a lower end of the tube for receiving material, a spout at an upper end of the tube for discharging the material, a running plate extending inside the tube, and a cleated belt, supported by the running plate, that conveys the material from the hopper to the spout through the tube. The cleated belt comprises a plurality of spaced-apart cleats and wherein each cleat has a base extending transversely to a direction of travel of the belt and curved sides that curve upwardly and outwardly from the base.

A delivery system for feeding particulate matter to a target location at a well site, including a transportable conveyor belt assembly; one or more silos in fluid communication with a particulate supply line, each of the silo inlets extending through a side wall of the respective silo and disposed at a different location from the others along a longitudinal axis of the respective silo; and for each silo an enclosed chute detachably attachable thereto so as to receive into the chute particulate matter gravity fed out of the respective silo and convey such matter into the housing of the conveyor belt assembly. The silos, the chutes and the housing enclose the particulate matter as it passes from the silos through the chutes and conveyor belt assembly to the target location, to inhibit the release of dust generated from movement of the particulate matter from the silos to the target location.

A drive device for a belt conveyor device includes a drive pulley, a first pulley, a second pulley, a support frame, and a drive motor. The drive pulley has a drive shaft direction length less than a plurality of previously set belt widths of the endless belt and has the driving shaft direction length being set to a same length regardless of the plurality of previously set belt widths of the endless belt. Axial lengths of the first pulley and the second pulley are set to the same length as the axial lengths of the head pulley and the tail pulley. The support frame is rotatably attached to the first pulley and the second pulley. The drive motor hung from a lower surface of the support frame in order for the drive pulley to be positioned at an approximately center portion in a width direction of the endless belt.
