Abstract
A portable self-erecting surge storage system for temporarily storing asphaltic hotmix. The system includes a cylindrical surge bin and an elongate conveyor having a roller yoke at one end thereof to ride a track affixed on the outer surface of the surge bin. The surge bin is pivotally pinned to a subframe to enable hydraulic cylinders to pivot the bin upwardly from a horizontal transit position to an erect operational position. The roller yoke simultaneously travels up the bin track, elevating one end of the conveyor to the top of the erect surge bin. Retraction of the cylinders lowers the bin and conveyor to their transport positions for movement to another construction site.
