Abstract:
A tracked, portable radial stacker for stockpiling bulk material including a linear conveyor having a rear portion and a front portion and being designed to carry bulk material from a low position adjacent the rear portion to a higher position adjacent the front portion. A foot may be disposed adjacent the rear portion of the conveyor and designed to selectively contact the ground to facilitate pivoting of the conveyor. A continuous track system may include a frame to which the conveyor is mounted, the track system including a pair of driven, parallel tracks designed to contact the ground to convey the stacker from one position to another, and to be lifted off the ground when desired. A pair of mid-wheels may be mounted to the frame to be moveable between a raised position in which they do not contact the ground and a lowered position in which they contact the ground and lift the tracks off the ground. A rear wheel may be mounted adjacent the rear portion of the conveyor to be moveable between a raised position in which it does not contact the ground and a lowered position in which it contacts the ground and lifts the tracks off the ground to permit movement of the conveyor on the rear wheel.

Claim (Index 13):
A tracked, portable radial stacker for stockpiling bulk material, comprising:\n a linear conveyor having a rear portion and a front portion and being designed to carry bulk material from a lower position adjacent the rear portion to a raised position adjacent the front portion; a continuous track system including a frame to which the conveyor is mounted, the track system including a pair of driven, parallel tracks designed to contact the ground to convey the stacker from one position to another, and to be lifted off the ground when desired; a pair of mid-wheels mounted to the frame and powered between a raised position in which they do not contact the ground and a first lowered position in which they are laterally disposed and engage the ground to facilitate lateral conveyance of the conveyor, the pair of wheels also being rotatably mounted to the frame such that they can swivel at least 90 degrees to a raised longitudinal position and can be lowered to a second lowered position in which they are longitudinally disposed and engage the ground to facilitate longitudinal conveyance of the conveyor; a mid-system for powering the pair of mid-wheels from the raised lateral position to the first lowered position, the mid-system also lifting the tracks off the ground as the mid-wheels are powered to the first lowered position to permit the conveyor to be conveyed in a lateral direction on the mid-wheels, the mid-system also powering the mid-wheels from the raised longitudinal position to the second lowered position, the mid-system also lifting the tracks off the ground as the mid-wheels are powered to the second lowered position to permit the conveyor to be conveyed in a longitudinal direction on the mid-wheels; a rear wheel mounted adjacent the rear portion of the conveyor, the rear wheel being displaceable between a raised position in which it does not contact the ground and a lowered position in which the rear wheel contacts the ground, the rear wheel also being pivotable between a longitudinal position and a lateral position; and a rear system for pivoting the rear wheel from the raised position to the lowered position and to lift the foot off the ground as the rear wheel is powered to the lowered position to facilitate movement of at least the rear portion of the conveyor in either a lateral or longitudinal direction, depending on the position of the rear wheel.
