here is something you wont see every day, but a fairly standard front end loader with an extended boom,
and a front tipping bucket giving it enough reach to dump light materials in a hi-cube truck box that is somewhere around 13 feet high. Here it is working in a log yard and loading out bark and wood debris that as fallen off the logs in handling.

I havent seen many extended booms but plenty of High Tip Buckets.
P.S... Nice Rig

I took this photo at a local log sort yard where I often sell logs. The log yard is paved, and the bark and debris are a regular disposal issue. You can clearly see the boom extension on the machine. Those kinds of trailers usually approach the maximum legal highway height. Its a flat floor one so I would guess it has a walking floor for self unloading. Wood chips are often hauled in a possum belly trailer and those are usually dumped by strapping the trailer to a tilting platform
and dumping the chips out.
Here is another view--- taken a few seconds after the first photo and enlarged and cropped down for better viewing of the details.

Re: bark bucket
I have seen a similar solution in Sweden when a large Caterpillar front loader loaded chips on a large sawmill. It had a large bucket and reached high over the truck and trailer.

It looks like it can be moved by that threepoint.
Ive seen the thing working, but until I blew this photo up---didnt know exactly how. Its a log yard that I deliver logs to,
and I took the photos but that is as close as Ive been. In reviewing the photo, I agree with you, that extension
can be moved with the bucket dump cyllinder if one wanted to unless it is blocked somewhere. what makes me wonder is that this would require an addition of another spool valve, however extra spool valves are common on loaders around logging operations as you need a 3rd hydraulic function for the top clamp that is always used on fork lifts handling logs.
