A bulk material handling system and method intended to transport, lift and/or discharge a quantity of bulk material contained by the payload carrying element. The system may include a drive system located entirely below the displacement of the payload carrying element to reduce required overall height requirements, while also offering virtually unlimited discharge height capability by using tension-only member(s) to transmit drive power to the payload carrying element. The system may also include a guide system with a single main path, intersected by one or more alternative of paths, which may be used in conjunction with a diverter system to provide a method of directing the payload carrying element onto any of the paths and/or to pivot the payload carrying element. The guide system and pivoting mechanism may simultaneously provide greater discharge reach distance than some alternative methods using the same drum size by introducing a horizontally active pivot point.

Elongate workpieces are transported in a transport direction and assembled to a string in the transport direction. A leading elongate workpiece is removed from the string and accelerated in a downstream discharge device such that a gap is formed between the leading elongate workpiece and a following elongate workpiece of the string. A stop is moved into the gap and prevents the following elongate workpiece of the string from being transported farther. The stop is removed when the leading elongate workpiece has left the discharge device and then the following elongate workpiece is removed from the string.
