  • Patent number: 5980189
    Abstract: A portable grain cart that has independently operated, endless, rubber belted conveyors for moving material out of the hopper and then discharging the material into a truck or other transport or storage facility. A first rubber belted conveyor is mounted inside of the hopper to pick up the material from the hopper and then discharge the material outside the cart onto a second conveyor which then moves the material into the truck. The outside or discharge conveyor is pivotally mounted so that it can be swung to a number of positions, including a storage position, and it also can be elevated to different heights depending upon the truck or storage facility into which the material is to be discharged.

  • Patent number: 5409344
    Abstract: A cart for transporting grain and the like and unloading the grain using an auger system. The system has two augers, a lower auger that elevates the grain from the cart's grain storage hopper and deposits it into an upper auger that carries the grain out and away from the cart for discharge at the desired place. Each auger is independently driven by a hydraulic motor. The upper auger can be swung through a wide arc thereby allowing the grain to be discharged to almost any unloading position without moving the cart. Because the upper auger is independent, the arc through which it is swung is at a relatively low angle from the horizontal and the grain therefore can be discharged a greater distance from the cart. Also, the upper auger can be swung to a position alongside the hopper for over-the-road transport of the cart.
