The double discharge ends are arranged in parallel at intervals and can connect to adjacent cars during the loading process.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: a mobile reclaimer is used to retrieve materials from the stockyard or freight yard, and the materials are then transported to the discharge conveyor via a transition conveyor mechanism. Finally, a mobile unloading vehicle coupled to the discharge conveyor completes the discharge process. The mobile unloading vehicle is located on one side of the top of the truck body, which will not affect the existing electrical wiring or contact with the power grid, ensuring safe loading. The mobile unloading vehicle has two discharge ends, which can connect to adjacent truck bodies during the loading process without stopping the machine, making loading highly efficient.

[0008] Preferably, the mobile material handling machine includes a mobile gantry frame, a mobile trolley, a multi-joint screw material handling unit, and a horizontal feeding mechanism.
