Abstract
A mobile bulk material processing apparatus includes a main frame having a pair of opposed beams that are spaced apart in a widthwise direction across the apparatus. A conveyor transports material from or to a material processing unit mounted at the main frame. The beams are arranged to receive at least part of the conveyor to protect the conveyor in a raised transport position.
Claims12
A mobile bulk material processing apparatus comprising:
- a longitudinally extending main frame having a first end and a second end, the main frame including a base region for mounting a pair of endless tracks or wheels to allow the apparatus to move over the ground, a neck section extending upwardly from the base region, and a pair of spaced apart opposed beams projecting towards the first end from an uppermost part of the neck section;
- a conveyor to transport material from or to a material processing unit mounted at the main frame;
- and
- at least one coupling to mount the conveyor at the main frame for movement between a raised transport position and a lowered operative position, such that at least a part of the conveyor is accommodated between the beams substantially at the first end when in the raised transport position.
