Rough terrain belt conveyor vehicle - has second conveyor coupled via balance with actuator holding latter horizontal if vehicle not level

摘要

The arrangement is intended for an endless tracked vehicle (1) for use on rough terrain. The vehicle contains a conveyor belt (2) to deposit material on to a trough (7) or further belt which is coupled to the vehicle via a C-frame (4) carried by a balance (3) pivoted to the front end (6) of the vehicle. The balance can be swivelled by a power cylinder (8). This automatically responds to the inclination of the vehicle due to unevenness of the terrain, so that the trough is held horizontal.
