1. A poultry loading assembly configured to load the poultry into a container wherein said assembly is selectively orientated with the container, said assembly comprising:
a primary frame; a chute being operationally coupled to said primary frame, said chute being positionable at a selected angle with respect to said primary frame; a primary scissor operationally coupled between said primary frame and said chute, said primary scissor being actuated to lower or lift said chute; a first conveyor belt being rotatably mounted on said chute and being configured for receiving poultry thereon proximate a loading area; a head operationally coupled to said chute opposite the loading area, said head being continuously retained in a parallel orientation with a support surface, said head being selectively positionable proximate the container, said head being selectively movable toward or away from the container; and a second conveyor belt operationally coupled to said head, said first conveyor belt being configured to transport the poultry to said second conveyor belt and thereafter said second conveyor belt being configured to transport the poultry into the container; a drive wheel operationally coupled to said primary frame; a drive motor coupled to said drive wheel wherein said drive motor moves said drive wheel to selectively move said primary frame along the support surface; a swing arm movably coupled to a drive one of a plurality of lateral arms of said primary frame; said drive wheel being rotatably coupled to said swing arm; a drive piston coupled between said primary frame and said swing arm wherein said drive piston selectively moves said drive wheel into a deployed position wherein said drive wheel lifts a plurality of wheels upwardly from the support surface, said drive piston selectively moving said drive wheel into a stored position wherein said plurality of wheels are lowered to the support surface; and said drive motor rotating said drive wheel when said drive wheel is in said deployed position. |
