Abstract
A telescopic belt conveyor includes a base conveyor unit (), an outer conveyor unit () and optionally one or more intermediate conveyor units (). The outer conveyor unit () and any intermediate conveyor units () are mounted on the base conveyor unit and extendable telescopically therefrom in an extension direction. The outer conveyor unit () includes a pivotable conveyor section () that is mounted for pivoting movement about a substantially horizontal pivot axis. A conveyor belt () is supported by the base conveyor unit (), the outer conveyor unit () and the intermediate conveyor units (), the conveyor belt providing a conveyor surface that extends continuously along an upper surface of the base conveyor unit (), the outer conveyor unit () and the intermediate conveyor units (). The pivotable conveyor section () has a free end remote from the pivot axis whose height relative to a ground surface may be adjusted by pivoting movement of the pivotable conveyor section.
