Abstract: An aggregate transferring apparatus for elevating aggregate may include a base assembly with a base frame, an unloader structure on the base frame, and a base conveyor on the base frame positioned to receive aggregate from a vehicle positioned on the unloader structure. The apparatus may also include an aggregate elevating assembly with a deployable frame mounted on the base frame and being movable between storage and deploy positions, and an elevating conveyor for receiving aggregate from the base conveyor and conveying the aggregate upwardly on the deployable frame. The apparatus may further include a conveyor extension assembly for conveying aggregate horizontally outward from the elevating assembly. The extension assembly may include an extension conveyor movable between lowered and raised positions and being articulated with an inboard and outboard segments.

Abstract: A conveyor system may include a conveyor belt and a conveyor support structure supporting the belt which includes a support truss structure extending between ends of the conveyor support structure. The system may also include a pair of wheels and an axle assembly configured to rotatably support the wheels on the support truss structure. The axle assembly may include an elongated axle housing with opposite ends each having a said wheel of the pair of wheels rotatably mounted thereon, the axle housing having an interior, and a hub rotatably mounted on each of the ends of the axle housing with each hub having one of the wheels mounted thereon. The system may include a rotation detection assembly for detecting rotation of at least one wheel and being integrated with the axle assembly and at least partially positioned within the interior of the axle housing.

Abstract: A system for unloading and conveying material includes a drive over dump conveyor apparatus including a main frame with opposite lateral sides and a conveyor assembly. The system includes at least one ramp assembly mounted on one of the lateral sides and extendable to a utilization condition of the ramp assembly and retractable to a transport condition of the ramp assembly. The ramp assembly may include inboard and outboard ramp portions accordion foldable inwardly to the transport condition and foldable outwardly to the utilization condition. The system may include a movement assembly configured to move the ramp assembly between the transport and utilization conditions, actively extend the inboard ramp portion and passively extend the outboard ramp portion to the utilization position, and actively retract the inboard ramp portion and passively retract the outboard ramp portion to the transport position.

Abstract: An extendable conveyor system with stationary and movable conveyor sections and a telescoping conveyor drive apparatus, and including a movement assembly configured to move the movable conveyor section with respect to the stationary conveyor section. The movement assembly may include teeth on one conveyor section and a teeth engaging apparatus on another conveyor section to move the movable conveyor section with respect to the stationary conveyor section. The teeth engaging apparatus may include a pin gear mounted on the second conveyor section and which has a plurality of pins positioned at radially spaced locations. A drive system may rotate the pin gear to thereby move the plurality of teeth and the first conveyor section in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: An extendable conveyor apparatus is disclosed and comprises a stationary conveyor section, a movable conveyor section extendable with respect to the stationary conveyor section, and a movement assembly configured to move the movable conveyor section with respect to the stationary conveyor section. The movement assembly comprises a plurality of teeth mounted on a first conveyor section, and a teeth engaging apparatus mounted on a second conveyor section and configured to engage and move the teeth on the first conveyor section with respect to the second conveyor section.
