Abstract
An apparatus for use in reclaiming bulk material such as bean meal or the like from a pile of such material. A self-propelled wheeled vehicle is equipped with an elongated boom. An endless belt-like member is movably positioned along the length of the boom. A plurality of platelike blades are attached to the endless belt-like member for movement along the length of the boom so that when the boom is positioned against or adjacent a pile of bulk material, the platelike blades will scrape, rake or otherwise convey portions of the bulk material from the pile to an under-floor conveyor or the like.
