Barge Unloading Facility Build

Tom,

Thanks. The motor would probably be ok in the rain. I'm planning to build a simple little shed to put over it mostly for looks. The way it turned out, the bracket the motor and wheels are attached to is sprung just a bit and simply slides in between the two angle brackets that are bolted down to the concrete. So, it is simply lift out, no tools required.

I think it is about 1/3 faster loading with the conveyor, from 15 minutes down to 10. May be a bit better now with the dock winch. I should build a silo to store sand and another conveyor. It would be neat to get the conveyor running full load, I'll bet it would load a barge in five minutes or less if the silo was full and held at least a barge load of sand.
