A reclaimer's function is to recover bulk material such as ores and cereals from a [[stockpile]]. A [[stacker]] is used to stack the material. Reclaimers are volumetric machines and are rated in m<sup>3</sup>/h (cubic meters per hour) for capacity, which is often converted to t/h (tonnes per hour) based on the average bulk density of the material being reclaimed. Reclaimers normally travel on a rail between stockpiles in the stockyard. A bucket wheel reclaimer can typically move in three directions: horizontally along the rail; vertically by "luffing" its boom and rotationally by slewing its boom. Reclaimers are generally electrically powered by means of a trailing cable.
