Abstract:
A material handling machine for transferring discrete loads of excavated, uncrushed waste from an excavator or other excavation equipment to a dumping location beyond the reach of the excavator. The material handling machine may include a mobile bridge supported by two or more crawlers. The material handling machine may further include at least one skip that is selectively moved between a first end and a second end of the mobile bridge. The at least one skip may receive material from excavation equipment at the first end and deposit the received material proximate the second end. When the material handling machine includes two skips, one skip may be positioned above the other skip, or the skips may be positioned to be side-by-side.

Claim (Index 2):
The material handling apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a foot element that is movable between a lowered position where the foot element rests on the ground and supports the intermediate transfer mechanism at least when the intermediate transfer mechanism receives materials from the excavation equipment, and a raised position where the foot element is spaced apart from the ground at least when the first end of the mobile bridge is moved from a first location to a second location, wherein a movement of the foot element from the lowered position to the raised position comprises a shearing movement or a sliding movement of the foot element relative to the ground.
