2118240 9321093 PCTABScor01 An apparatus for removing bulk materials from an enclosed storage area wherein the apparatus may be buried within the bulk material (11). The apparatus includes a support column (16) mounted at a base into a support floor (25). An auger (17) is attached by an axial mount at the base of the support column for enabling rotational inclination of the auger from (i) a vertical orientation wherein the auger is nearly parallel with the vertical axis of the support column, (ii) through intermediate angles of inclination (54), to (iii) a substantially horizontal orientation (55) wherein the auger is adjacent to the support floor. A torque assist device (60) is coupled at the distal end of the first elongate transfer means (17) and includes a moving track (61) configured to engage a top surface of the bulk material when inclined in the intermediate range. This assist device provides a tangential, forward force along the rotational path of the first elongate transfer means.
