NCHT Ladder, Safety Cage and Platform Instructions 10-22 Rings
All grain bin packages, from 10 ring to 22 ring and 12' to 36' diameter, contain the correct components for
assembly. Be sure and use the charts to determine the appropriate number and size parts to be used
based upon the number of rings in the bin. Read and follow the complete instructions for correct placement
of parts. Failure to do so may result in an improper fit or shortage of parts. Pay particular attention to the
location of ladders and platforms as they relate to the equipment and other structures in the area.
Eave Starter Bracket Installation
Correct placement of the eave ladder starter bracket is critical to assure proper fit of all ladder parts and
also to assure the correlation between the platforms is correct for proper installation of the access door
platform. If the eave starter brackets are mislocated, standard installation of the access door platform will
not be possible.
Location of Field Drilled Holes for Eave Ladder Starter Brackets
The starter brackets must be located directly below the roof ladder. Before the starter brackets can be
installed, two (2) 3/8" holes must be field drilled 2.66" below and directly in line with the top row of
pre-punched horizontal holes. The first hole, required for the left hand starter bracket, must be located
9-3/8" from the center of the stiffener to the center of the hole. The second hole, required for the
right hand bracket, must be located 18-3/4" from the center of the first hole.
Refer to Figure 6C for the
proper location of the two (2) 3/8" field drilled holes required to install the starter brackets.
