Abstract
Apparatus for raising a conveyor above the surface of a poured concrete structure as the structure is formed includes a post moveable in a vertical direction that supports a conveyor on top of the post. A horizontal support tube is connected to the post, as well as a collar. A jack engages the support and raises the post and collar. A hydraulic means then places a base around the post below the collar so that when the jack is lowered, the conveyor, post and collar are supported by the newly placed base, thereby raising the conveyor relative to the surface of the structure.
