Abstract: A compact conveyor having a primary conveyor, a feed conveyor and a hopper mounted to a mobile base. The base may be a trailer or a vehicle bed. The primary conveyor is rotatably and pivotably mounted to the base. The feed conveyor has a pivoting segment pivotably mounted to the base near the second base end and disposed at least partially beneath the hopper. An extending segment of the feed conveyor is longitudinally-movably mounted to the pivoting segment and extends toward the first primary conveyor end. An arm is mounted to the base, the extending segment and a prime mover for, upon actuation of the prime mover, displacing the extending segment longitudinally relative to the pivoting segment and simultaneously pivoting the pivoting segment relative to the base. This end of the feed conveyor moves along an arc that extends from below the primary conveyor to above the conveyor.

Abstract: A compact conveyor apparatus for conveying fluent material. A primary conveyor, a feed conveyor and a hopper mount to a mobile base. The base may be a trailer or a vehicle bed. The hopper is vertically moveable relative to the base and the feed conveyor is pivotably mounted to the hopper. The primary conveyor is rotatably and pivotably mounted to the base. In a transport mode the feed conveyor is substantially parallel to, and supported by, the base, and the primary conveyor is substantially parallel to, and directly above, the feed conveyor. In operation mode, the feed conveyor is angled relative to the base's upper surface and its lower end and the hopper are disposed lower than the base's upper surface. The apparatus maintains the hopper substantially parallel.
