Mobile apparatus for mixing and loading concrete

An apparatus for preparing bulk material and loading same into a truck, the apparatus comprising:

• an elongated and generally parallepipedal first frame having a first end and elongated sides;
• a horizontal pivot at the first end of the first frame;
• an elongated and generally parallepipedal second frame having a first end pivoted at the pivot on the first end of the first frame and a second end, the frames being relatively pivotally displaceable between a transport position with the second frame horizontal and lying substantially within the first frame which also has said elongated sides horizontal and a use position with the first frame standing via its first end on the ground and with said elongated sides vertical, with the two frames extending at an angle to each other, and with the second end of the second frame spaced horizontally from the first frame above the ground by a distance equal to the loading height of the truck;
• a rail extending between the ends of the second frame;
• a bucket displaceable along the rail between the ends of the second frame;
• and
• means at the first end of the first frame for filling the bucket, when same is at the first end, with bulk material.
