Sidewall and Roof Ladder Installation
Check the sidewall ladder to make sure the ladder rung dimples face upward. Attach the ladder to the
sidewall with the starter brackets to the inside of the ladder and the connector brackets to the outside as
shown in
Figure 8C . Once the sidewall ladder is installed, attach the roof ladder to the other end of the
connector brackets. All bolts should be installed with the head of the bolt to the inside of the ladder.
Use 5/16" x 1" bin bolts for all connections.
NOTE: The roof ladder must be one continuous ladder section. The roof ladder cannot be assembled from
two (2) or more smaller ladder sections spliced together. See chart below for required roof ladder
lengths vs bin diameter and roof angle.
