This term is used for all full width reclaimers. Material is reclaimed from all positions in a line at the base of the pile parallel to the x axis. For a bridge reclaimer, the base must be flat. The reclaim line moves along the base, parallel to the y axis, and all material above the line is reclaimed, as well as any material that rills down. This term is used for all full width reclaimers.
