Abstract
An improved cargo transport system for transferring discrete cargo loads from a cargo terminal to a vessel laterally displaced from and below the cargo terminal. The improvement includes a horizontally laterally extending powered conveyor system having an elevator mechanism. The elevator mechanism includes telescoping elements extending downwardly from one end thereof to raise and lower a depending elevator platform. The platform is movable in a vertical direction with respect to the lowermost telescoping element, which in turn is movable with respect to the uppermost telescoping element. The powered conveyor system is mounted on a support which is hinged at an end adjacent to the cargo terminal.
