Apparatus for handling bulk material

Apparatus for handling bulk material as located in a pile at a circular storage site therefor, comprising a support column located adjacent to said pile of bulk material, means for anchoring said support column in a fixed position, means for stacking said bulk material on said pile, said stacking means being mounted on the uppermost end of said support column and being wholly supported thereby, means for rotating said stacking means relative to said support column to enable said stacking means to stack said material in a substantially circular array at said storage site, means supported above said stacking means for feeding said material to be stacked thereto, said material being reclaimed from said pile in a reclaiming operation in a manner that provides for rotation of a member utilized for reclaiming about a vertical axis for reaching the array of material at said storage site, means for rotatably supporting the member utilized for reclaiming, said reclaimer supporting means being located such that the vertical axis thereof is not coincident with the longitudinal axis of said support column wherein said member utilized for reclaiming is rotatable about the vertical axis thereof through a range of 0.degree. to about 310.degree. without interference with said support column.
