mobile conveyor
A hand-loaded, hoist-operated hauler used principally in certain central Pennsylvania coal mines. It is essentially a chain-and-flight conveyor of exceptional width, with high sideboards, mounted on wheels for operation on mine track, with motive power supplied by a hoist mounted on the chassis of the machine. The conveyor chain and flights can be moved in the bed of the machine to assist in loading or unloading. The hoist rope can be attached to props at the face and near the dumping point to provide anchorage when the conveyor is moved.
