48 PNEG-1451 Ladder, Safety Cage and Platform for Hopper Tanks
Eave Safety Cage Hoop Assembly
Before attaching any pieces to the ladders or platform, some pre-assembly is required. Attach two (2) safety
cage brackets to the 8' extension rail and one safety cage bracket to the second 4' ladder section as shown
in
Figure 6L . Bolt the safety cage hoop adjuster plates onto the extension angle as shown in Figure 6L .
Using the proper configuration depending on the bin diameter (see adapter assembly detail on Page 49 ),
bolt the safety cage hoop adapters together and attach to the safety cage hoop halves. Be sure to use the
5/16" x 3/4" bolt with the head of the bolt to the inside of the safety cage. Bolt these assemblies to the safety
cage brackets and hoop adjuster plates. (See connection detail
on Page 49 for proper hole location.) Tighten
bolts as you go. The bottom assembly requires two (2) hoop halves and will be positioned just below the
platform as shown in
Figure 6L . Use the safety cage hoop adjuster angle to secure the two (2) hoop half
assemblies to the vertical entrance angle on the platform assembly.
