  • Patent number: 4277214
    Abstract: A barge loading device comprising a vertically disposed support tower positioned between a pair of barges or the like. A boom is rotatably mounted on the support tower and extends outwardly therefrom. A vertically disposed telescopic spout extends downwardly from the outer end of the boom. A conveyor is provided on the support tower and the boom for supplying grain or the like to the upper end of the spout for delivery to one of the barges. The boom may be rotatably moved relative to the support tower to facilitate the loading of the barges on either side of the tower. The spout may be tilted to either side of its normally disposed vertical position and may be rotated about its longitudinal axis. The combination of the rotatable boom, tilting and rotating spout permits greater areas to be filled in the barges.
