LADDER SAFETY CAGE, AND PLATFORM INSTRUCTIONS
All packages have been structured with the correct components for each ring height
grain bin from 25'-6" Eave to 98'-7" Eave. Be sure and follow the complete instruction sheets
for correct placement of parts. Failure to do so may result in improper fit of parts or shortage
of parts. Read through the complete set of instructions before proceeding with erection of grain
bin. Considerable thought must be given as to location of ladders and platforms in relation to
other equipment and structures.
STARTING LOCATION OF LADDERS
Ladder placement is very critical as to assure proper fit of all parts later on as safety cage is
bolted in place. Locate the proper place of roof ladder and manway this will establish the
location of the ladder. Ladder must be centered directly below the roof ladder. Refer to the
diagram below for proper location of field drilled holes (3/8"). Holes must be 18 3/4" apart and
8" below the top horizontal row of holes directly in line with the holes pre-punched in the
horizontal seam for the first 2 ladder standoff brackets. The diagrams also show that the
platform uses stiffener holes. Both platform vertical support angles must be located in the
stiffener holes on 2-post tanks and 1 vertical support angles in stiffener holes on 3-post tanks,
as shown in details. These dimensions and locations are very critical to assure proper fit of all
parts.
