PNEG-1451 Ladder, Safety Cage and Platform for Hopper Tanks 91
Vertical Supports
48" Safety Cage
After all three (3) hoop assemblies
are in place, you may attach the
48" vertical supports from hoop
assembly to hoop assembly, as
shown in
Figure 8N . This requires
ten (10) supports, five (5) between
each set of hoops. The second set
of vertical supports must be bent at
the flat area to allow for the tapering
of the bottom hoop assembly. Use
5/16" x 3/4" bolts (unless otherwise
noted) with the head of the bolt to
the inside of the safety cage.
Figure 8N Vertical Supports
Attach the vertical support pieces to
the existing hoop halves above
using the 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and nuts
(with the heads on the inside of the
cage). Fasten two (2) hoop halves
together and bolt to other end of
vertical supports. Attach cage hoop
brackets to ladder, see general
detail information
on Page 12 for
proper attachment. Once cage hoop
brackets have been installed, attach
cage hoop halves and tighten bolts.
Repeat installation for each safety
cage required.
