Abstract: The invention consists of a stockpile reclaiming apparatus for discharging bulk material from a bed. The apparatus comprises a bridge which extends over the width of the stockpile, a support frame work, which is mounted from the bridge and a discharging means mounted on the frame work. The discharge means consists of an endless traction means and a series of discharge elements attached to the endless traction means. This endless path is disposed in a plane inclined to the bed of the stockpile whereby an acute angle is formed between this inclination and the plane of the bed.
