Abstract:
A material transfer vehicle includes a loading conveyor and a loading component (such as a truck-receiving hopper component or a windrow pick-up component) that is adapted to be removably attached to the lower end of the loading conveyor. The loading conveyor has a right guide plate on the right side of the lower end and a left guide plate on the left side of the lower end. The loading component has a right guide bracket that is adapted to align with and engage the right guide plate of the loading conveyor, and a left guide bracket that is adapted to align with and engage the left guide plate of the loading conveyor.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for removably attaching a loading component to a loading conveyor of a material transfer vehicle, said method comprising:\n (a) providing the loading conveyor with:\n (i) a lower end with a right side and a left side; \n (ii) a right guide plate on the right side of the lower end; \n (iii) a left guide plate on the left side of the lower end; \n (iv) a right side wheel on the right side of the lower end; and \n (v) a left side wheel on the left side of the lower end; \n (b) providing the loading component with:\n (i) a right guide bracket that is adapted to align with and engage the right guide plate of the loading conveyor; \n (ii) a left guide bracket that is adapted to align with and engage the left guide plate of the loading conveyor; \n (c) positioning the loading conveyor of the material transfer vehicle with respect to the loading component so that:\n (i) the right guide plate on the right side of the lower end of the loading conveyor is aligned with the right guide bracket of the loading component; and \n (ii) the left guide plate on the left side of the lower end of the loading conveyor is aligned with the left guide bracket of the loading component; \n (d) moving the loading conveyor of the material transfer vehicle towards the loading component until:\n (i) the right guide bracket on the loading component engages the right guide plate of the loading conveyor; and \n (ii) the left guide bracket on the loading component engages the left guide plate of the loading conveyor.
