A nozzle for providing particulate materials to a suction intake hose connected to a bulk transfer apparatus is provided. A body structure of the nozzle comprises comprising a connecting mechanism for connecting to an end portion of the suction intake hose. A support mechanism is mechanically connected to the body structure for movably supporting the body structure. A particulate materials transport mechanism is placed in front of the body structure. The particulate materials transport mechanism comprises a movable mechanical structure for mechanically transporting the particulate materials into an airstream generated by suction through the suction intake hose. A hood is mounted to a front portion of the body structure for guiding the airstream towards an opening in fluid communication with the connecting mechanism.
