Abstract: An apparatus for preparing bulk material and loading it into a truck comprises an elongated first frame having a lower end and adapted to stand via this end on the ground, a horizontal pivot at the lower end of the first frame, and an elongated second frame having a lower end pivoted at the pivot on the lower end of the first frame and an upper end. The frames are relatively pivotally displaceable between a transport position with one of the frames lying substantially within the other frame and a use position with the two frames extending at an angle to each other and the upper end of the second frame spaced above the ground by a distance equal to the loading height of the truck. A rail extends between the ends of the second frame and a bucket is displaceable along the rail between the ends of the second frame. In addition a doser is provided at the lower end of the first frame for filling the bucket, when it is at the lower ends, with bulk material.

Abstract: An apparatus for the metered dispensing of several bulk materials has an elongated and horizontal base having a pair of longitudinal sides and provided with a longitudinally extending floor and having pairs of posts spaced along the floor and subdividing same longitudinally into a row of zones. Reapective legs at the posts hold the frame above the ground. Respective longitudinal and transverse side and end walls releasably secured to the posts transversely and longitudinally bound the zones. Thus each zone is formed into an upwardly open hopper having a respective floor valve openable to release bulk material from the respective hopper through the floor. A track fixed to the frame extends longitudinally underneath the zones. A bucket car is displaceable along the track underneath the valves. The side walls are laterally concave toward the respective zones and extend laterally beyond the respective sides.
