A bucket elevator or conveyor comprises a plurality of removable buckets 10 each pivotally supported between two drive chains 11. The buckets 10 are shaped such that their lips 26 overlap when they are traveling horizontally. In this manner, the buckets 10 can be filled without the risk of spillage. The attitude of the buckets 10 are controlled by a guide rail 17 and this combined with shape of the leading and trailing walls 22,23 of the buckets 10 enables the buckets 10 to traverse bends in the vertical plane without interfering.
