Abstract
A portable asphalt storage silo includes a wheeled frame carrying a bin and a conveyor. During travel the bin is disposed in a lower position and the conveyor in a horizontal position overlying the bin. Two pairs of struts, a roller serving as a fulcrum, and two winch and cable systems conjointly elevate first the discharge end of the conveyor to an intermediate raised position and then the latter end and the bin to a final elevated position such that material can be carried up from ground level and discharged into the bin for storage.
