The invention provides an overshot loader mechanism for transporting material in an overhead trajectory from a filling to a discharge position. The overshot loader mechanism comprises at least one control arm (18), pivotally connected at one end to a chassis frame and at the other end to a thrust end of a load arm (20), and a bucket (16) pivotally connected to a load end of the load arm. Rotation of the control arm about its pivotal connection moves the thrust end of the load arm from a terminal high point when the load end of the load arm is located towards the bottom of its trajectory for bucket filling, and a terminal low point when the load end of the load arm is located towards the height of its trajectory, reducing the centre of gravity of the loader mechanism, while retaining sufficient bucket height to clear the vehicle's operator cab.
