Crane-shovel Shovel Front

An apparatus consisting of a steel boom operated in a vertical arc, designed for attaching to a crane-shovel basic unit. The boom has a dipper stick having a shovel affixed at one end and is constructed in such a manner as to permit its being moved either up or down and in a vertical arc. The shovel digs by being pulled away from the basic unit and is emptied by being lifted and opening a door at the rear thereof.
