FCHT Ladder, Safety Cage and Platform Instructions 7-9 Rings
All grain bin packages, from 7 ring to 9 ring and 18' to 24' diameter, contain the correct components for
assembly. Read and follow the complete instructions for correct placement of parts. 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. 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 components
and to assure the correlation is correct between the platforms 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 4" below and directly in line with the top row of pre-punched
horizontal holes. The first hole, 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, for the right hand bracket, must be located 18-3/4"
from the center of the first hole.
for the proper location of the two (2) 3/8" field drilled
holes required to install the starter brackets.
