Abstract: A self-contained, moveable material handling apparatus is characterized by a chassis having a material conveyance surface mounted for rotation with respect to the central vertical axis thereof. A deck is also mounted for rotation with respect to the chassis, independently of the material conveyance surface. A loading boom, having a loading device on the end thereof, is mounted to the deck for rotation about the central vertical axis of the chassis. The boom is also pivotable about a horizontal axis and extendable and retractable along its own axis. The loading device and the boom cooperate to load material from the interior of a carrier onto the material conveyance surface. The surface rotates the material until it is deflected from the surface by a deflector conveyor onto a carry-off conveyor. The speed of the material conveyance is less than the speed of the deflector conveyor, which speed is less than the speed of the carry-off conveyor.
