This disclosure provides an overshot loader mechanism for transporting material in an overhead trajectory from a filling to a discharge position. The overshot loader mechanism includes at least one control arm, pivotally connected at one end to a chassis frame, and at the other end to a thrust end of the load arm, and a bucket 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, where the load end of the load arm is located towards the bottom of its trajectory for bucket filling, to a terminal low point, where the load end of the load arm is located towards the height of its trajectory. This configuration reduces the centre of gravity of the loader mechanism, while retaining sufficient bucket height to clear the vehicle's operator cab.
