Swing conveyor assembly

A linkage assembly for interconnecting a base vehicle having a rear end with opposed sides and a swing conveyor having a forward end with opposed sides, the linkage assembly comprising:

• a pair of plates positionable on opposite sides of the swing conveyor forward end, each plate having an outside surface;
• a shaft extendable through the swing conveyor forward end and each of the plates to interconnect the plates to the swing conveyor;
• a pair of removable pins, each pin extendable through the shaft adjacent a respective plate outside surface to secure the plate against lateral movement;
• at least one link bar pivotally interconnected between each plate and the base vehicle rear end such that the plates are able to move vertically over a given range relative to the base vehicle.

A swing conveyor assembly for use with a base vehicle including a first material conveyor having a discharge location, the swing conveyor assembly comprising:

• a platform having opposed sides and being supported by a wheel assembly;
• a linkage assembly comprising:
• a pair of plates positionable on opposite sides of the platform, each plate having an outside surface;
• a shaft extendable through the platform and each of the plates to interconnect the plates to the platform;
• a pair of removable pins, each pin extendable through the shaft adjacent a respective plate outside surface to secure the plate against lateral movement;
• and
• at least one link bar pivotally interconnected between each plate and the base vehicle rear end such that the plates are able to move vertically over a given range relative to the base vehicle;
• and
• a second material conveyor rotatably connected to the platform about a vertical rotation axis and configured to receive a discharged material from the first material conveyor.
