Roof Ladder Support Bracket Installation
The roof ladder requires support brackets at the top of the ladder. These upper ladder support brackets
either bend in towards the center of the ladder or bend out away from the ladder depending on the diameter
and roof angle of the tank being assembled.
See Figure 8D below and Figure 8H on Page 36 that show
brackets for the 6' 30°, 9'30° and 9'-40° roofs. See Figure 8E on Page 35 and Figure 8I on Page 36 that
show brackets for 6' 40°, 7' 30° and 7' 40° roofs. Assemble the wedge and support brackets to the ladder
rail as shown in
Figure 8F on Page 35 and Figure 8G on Page 36 . Then, slide the support bracket
assemblies along the ladder rails as shown in Figure 8D below and Figure 8E on Page 35 until the slots
match up with the pre-punched holes in the roof panel and attach using the existing bolts.
NOTE: The roof ladder supports must be assembled so that the maximum distances are not exceeded.
See Figure 8J on Page 37 and the “maximum distances chart” to determine maximum allowable
spacing of support brackets.
