[QUOTE="dezman, post: 43474, member: 1018"] It's called a rickshaw and they work really well! Using your foot you drive it into the pile of dirt and scope and flick it in. Keeping the floor flat and smooth helps, no need for a shovel unless you want a big load. Then just tip into the hoist bucket for its journey to the top. Oh we never found a dollars worth of opal under that fault :P [/QUOTE]
