Portable material delivery apparatus

A portable material delivery apparatus for transporting and selectively depositing a flowable material at a deposit site, the apparatus comprising:

• a vehicle;
• a hopper mounted onto the vehicle for holding the flowable material, the hopper having a lower opening for releasing the flowable material;
• a first circulating conveyor belt fixedly mounted onto the vehicle for moving the flowable material released from the hopper, the first circulating conveyor belt comprising:
• a first receiving portion located below the lower opening of the hopper and configured to receive the flowable material released from the hopper;
• and
• a first depositing end from which the flowable material drops as the first circulating conveyor belt circulates;
• a second circulating conveyor belt mounted onto the vehicle for moving the flowable material dropped from the first circulating conveyor belt, the second circulating conveyor belt comprising:
• a second receiving portion located below the first depositing end of the first circulating conveyor belt for receiving the flowable material dropped from the first depositing end;
• and
• a second depositing end from which the flowable material is ejected toward the deposit site as the second circulating conveyor belt circulates,
• wherein the second circulating conveyor belt is vertically tiltable and laterally rotatable relative to the first circulating conveyor belt;
• and
• a control station having an operator platform and controls for allowing a single operator to control the movement of the vehicle, the circulation of the belts, and the tilt and rotation of the second conveyor belt, the control station mounted on a side of the second circulating conveyor and disposed adjacent to the second depositing end of the second circulating conveyor belt and movable with the second depositing end as the second circulating conveyor belt vertically tilts and laterally rotates, the control station being positioned such that a single operator positioned on the operator platform can operate the controls while directly observing the flowable material moving on the second conveyor belt and being ejected toward the deposit site.
