Other designs cheat by having their own grabs that dump into a deck mounted hopper, from where it is discharged by the arm.

In the days of coal powered steam locos (my passion) a lot of US ones had automatic stokers powered by a screw, which was always getting jammed and had to have a reverse to free it. In UK we only had three, all the rest the fireman had to shovel like there was no tomorrow.

I never was on one like that,,but I can imagine that the conveyor belt runs in a tunnel,, on top are gratings with appropiate sized holes to let fall the cargo through and direct under them plates/doors which can be opened or closed via hydraulic. The holds are
shaped like a "V" that the cargo slides down as below the belt transports it away.
What you say on this Capt Peter ?
