Automated Conduit Unloading
Abstract
Large, cumbersome pipes removed from trailer by one operator. Swiveltruck trailer carries conduit and unloads it. Vertical bins interconnected by web belts that elevate conduit sections for delivery by gravity to unloading point. Trailer loaded with slurry-pipe sections 6 inches (15.2 centimeters) in diameter, but bin width readily changed to hold other sizes. Simple adjustments in bin-partition and web-belt positions needed to adapt system to different conduit cross sections.
