A material handling apparatus (10) is disclosed having a frame with first (22) and second (24) frame sections, an upper side, and a plurality of wheels supporting the frame. A material handler (12) is supported on the upper side of a portion of the first (22) frame section. The material handler has a maneuverable boom (34) with a proximal end (36) supported near the frame and a distal end (40) spaced from the frame. The distal end of the boom carries a handling device (42) adapted for picking up and releasing material. The frame also defines a material carrying region (14) on a portion of the second frame (24) section's upper side. The material carrying region is spaced from the material handler. The boom and handling device can be maneuvered to be positioned both remote from the material carrying region and near the material carrying region.
