Abstract: An extensible conveyor system that uses idler shuttles that include a base with sides, a front section and a rear section, and a mechanism that allows the frame to be moved along a support, these mechanisms may be wheels, slides, bearings, bushings, or other carriers, the sides of the base being generally symmetrical. The idler shuttles also include an idler support frame that extends from the base at an angle, the angle may be perpendicular or any other angle, the idler support frame being mounted between the front portion and the rear portion, the front portion of the base being adapted for nesting within the rear portion of the base, so that several of the support frames can be nested against one another to reduce the overall space taken up by the shuttles when the conveyor system is in a retracted position.

Abstract: A system and method for transporting material from an approach conveyor on to an elongate transport device such as a ship. The ship being positioned at a predetermined orientation, preferably on against a set of docking piers, relative to the approach conveyor. The system and method uses at least one slewing conveyor with a first end and a second end, the slewing conveyor being capable of pivoting about a pivot point and accepting material at the first end and conveying the material to the second end, the second end of the slewing conveyor being capable of discharging the material on to the ship while the ship is at the predetermined orientation. A bridge conveyor having a first end and a second end, the first end of the bridge conveyor being pivotally supported for pivotal motion about a point near the approach conveyor, and the second end of the bridge conveyor being moveably supported near the first end of the slewing conveyor, so that the second end of the bridge conveyor may move together with the first end of the slewing conveyor, so that material from the approach conveyor that has been delivered to the first end of the bridge conveyor may be delivered by the bridge conveyor to the second end of the slewing conveyor, so that the slewing conveyor may deliver the material to the ship.

Abstract: An idler support system for use with a tubular conveyor. The system includes an idler frame that includes a generally U-shaped frame component defined by a first leg and a second leg joined by a generally semicircular portion joining the first leg and the second leg. The semicircular portion has been adapted for accepting at least one idler roller. A closeout section extens from the first leg to the second leg of the U-shaped frame, so that the edges of the tubular conveyor are held in the overlapping arrangement position by at least one idler roller attached to the semicircular portion.
