An agricultural implement for mounting on a U-shaped foundation frame supported on wheels for travel over a ground surface where the foundation frame includes first and second laterally spaced mounting beams fixed to and extending from a base. The implement is configured to perform an agricultural operation, to rest on the ground surface when in an idle position, and to attach to the foundation frame when in an operating position. The implement comprises a rigid implement portion configured to be attached to the first and second mounting beams at first and second beam locations remote from the base such that the first and second mounting beams are prevented from moving laterally with respect to each other.

A transportable drive-over conveyor system includes a drive-over hopper for receiving material and having a belt-type conveyor for conveying the material, a transition section pivotally connected at an upstream end to the drive-over hopper, an auger mounted at a downstream end of the transition section. The transition section transfers the material from the belt-type conveyor to the auger. The system may include radially offset wheels that support and move the conveyor system. The system further includes a pair of foldable ramps having hooks. The system further includes a folding and lifting mechanism which may include cables connected to the hooks for folding the foldable ramps and then lifting the conveyor system by the ramps.

A stockpile control system adapted for use on a stockpile conveyor comprising a sensor that is disposed on the stockpile conveyor, a limit switch that is disposed on the stockpile conveyor, a pile probe that is disposed on the stockpile conveyor, and a microprocessor that is in operative communication with the limit switch and the sensor. The stockpile conveyor is adapted to move, the sensor is adapted to measure the location of the stockpile conveyor, the limit switch is adapted to limit the movement of the stockpile conveyor, the pile probe is adapted to measure a distance between the stockpile conveyor and a stockpile, and the microprocessor is adapted to control the movement of the stockpile conveyor. A method for controlling the production of a stockpile comprising providing a stockpile control system, calculating one or more stockpile boundaries, and controlling the movement of the stockpile conveyor.

An apparatus includes: a housing that encloses a controller configured to control a conveyor system; and an attachment assembly attached to a first side of the housing. The attachment assembly is configured to attach the housing to a side channel of the conveyor system, and the attachment assembly includes an attachment piece, the attachment piece including: a first latch member configured for connection to a first interface on the side channel of the conveyor system; and a second latch member configured for connection to a second interface on the side channel of the conveyor system. When one or more of the first latch member is connected to the first interface and the second latch member is connected to the second interface, the housing is attached to the side channel with a space between the side channel and the first side of the housing.

A mobile machine for conveying and/or processing mineral aggregate material, includes a machine frame and a conveyor module supported on the machine frame so as to be displaceable relative to the latter. A conveyor line runs along a virtual conveyor path (FB), the conveyor module being designed at least for conveying the aggregate material along the conveyor path on the conveyor line. A component carrier in a working state of the machine runs in an elevation direction (H) at a distance from the conveyor line crosswise with respect to the conveyor path above the conveyor line. The component carrier supports at least one functional module which interacts with the aggregate material conveyed on the conveyor line. The conveyor module is displaceable relative to the machine frame with a displacement component in the elevation direction. The component carrier is movable both relative to the conveyor module and the machine frame.

A truck mounted conveyor system for transporting building materials to a station remote from the truck. The truck with conveyor system comprises a base platform mounted to the truck frame and an inner boom pivotally mounted to the base platform and configured to extend outward of said bed platform over a range of elevations and azimuths. The outer boom pivotally secured to the inner boom with a continuous conveyor belt circumscribing the inner and outer booms. The inner boom including a tensioner mechanism for maintaining a predetermined tension in the conveyor belt wherein the combination of inner boom and outer boom can be configured to minimize the overall length of the conveyor system while in transit in order to comply with applicable state overall vehicle length regulations and also maximize conveyor system length during conveying operations.

A road barrier transfer machine includes an improved capstan control system that reduces unwanted migration of road barrier spans without requiring inaccurate visual observations and reliance on outdated scripts. The barrier transfer machine includes a moveable chassis, an entry snout, an exit snout, a conveyor system, a capstan system, and the capstan control system. The capstan control system automatically operates the capstan system or provides instructions to an operator of the machine to maintain the tension and compression of a road barrier span within desired ranges to reduce unwanted migration of the span.

A material conveyor apparatus is described comprising a conveyer device having a material receiving end suitable for receiving material such as overburden or mineral at a working site, a material discharge end distal of the material receiving end, and a material transport system disposed between the material receiving end and the discharge end so as in use to cause material received at the material receiving end to be conveyed to the material discharge end; an scanning system comprising a scanning device disposed to scan the material being conveyed to the material discharge end and obtain a response from the material from which the material may be classified at least into two classes comprising at least a waste class and a useable ore class based on the response; a chassis supporting the conveyor device and the scanning device; a transport carriage supporting the chassis and adapted to cause the chassis to be movable across a surface for deployment in use.

A device for sorting particulate material includes a main conveyor belt, a separation screen, a graded material conveyor, and an oversize material conveyor. The separation screen is configured to separate the material into a first portion and a second portion with a larger average particle diameter than the first portion. The graded material conveyor is positioned below the separation screen to receive the first portion of the material, and the oversize material conveyor is positioned at an end of the separation screen to receive the second portion of the material.

A conveyor comprises a first conveyor section and a second conveyor section that is foldable with respect to the first conveyor section. Skirting is movable into and out of a deployed state in which it extends along the second conveyor section. A skirting support is coupled to the skirting and is movable into and out of a deployed state in which it holds the skirting in the deployed state. Actuating means is provided for moving the skirting support. The skirting is deformable or foldable so that it does not have to be removed or fitted when the conveyor is folded or deployed, and is less susceptible to damage.
