If you are going to be collecting lead in large amounts you will want something larger then that small hand screen. A 2x4 frame to hold a shaker table you can throw a good amount of dirt on then just shake the table without needing to hold it up is your best bet for something quick and dirty with the rope/chain used on one side long enough to let you dump the now sifted lead/rock mix. With a set of wheels on the frame you can even drag it out without needing to pickup past getting it in/out of the truck. Use small buckets to transport the lead but then have big sturdy bins you can dump the lead into in the truck so you cut down the number of buckets needed to what you can transport in 1 trip back to the truck as you want to be able to clear the range fast if a shooter shows up. No use filling a 5 gallon bucket with lead when the handle can barely support the weight. Most important remember to leave the range looking good when you leave so they enjoy you cleaning it up for them. You want to remove any big rocks not to make the place look good but so you don't find them again next time you clean up so ask if they have a place to dump rocks to get them off range "to reduce dangers of a shooter hitting them" Carry a can of spray paint to spray a new layer of paint on the shot up targets as every shooter loves that first hit on a new target. And most important bring a rake to rake out the pile of dirt under where you do the sifting as it is bad practice to leave a mound of sifted dirt as they don't happen naturally.

Thanks Andrew, for your good advice. Honestly, I use the smaller hand shaker because I can't be going large operations on our shared shooting range. As you stated well, it's poor behavior to be leaving the range sifted through or with garbage (plastic wads for one) all over the place. I don't, and I certainly don't go about moving large amounts of material. I find I'm getting plenty of action just below the targets; I'm at least collecting all the lucky lead that hit the targets. God knows I need to steer clear of that unlucky lead lol
