The forward corners of the bucket, near the discharge chute, are equipped with downward opening hooks. The hoisting suspension includes flexible forward support members which releasably engage the hooks, and flexible rearward support members which support the rear of the bucket. The forward support members are attached to a cross beam which is maintained in a horizontal position above the bucket in such a manner that the forward members lie substantially exterior of the space vertically above the bucket.
