2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
8 PNEG-529 Cor-Lok and Cut-Lok Flooring for Non-GSI Bin Diameter
Grain Systems Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
Using the GSI recommended method for full floor installation should save construction time and eliminate
the problem of improper installation which could invalidate your warranty. Note the following dimensions
as shown in
Figure 2B.
• Dimension “A” is the leg-to-leg spacing along the centerline of a given plank.
• Dimension “B” is the amount of stagger between supports under adjacent planks
and is half of Dimension “A”.
• Dimension “C” is the distance from the center of the unload auger to the nearest rows of
supports and is half of Dimension “B”.
Dimensions “A”, “B” and “C” are shown on the appropriate grandstand layout for wall heights under 32'.
For taller bins, grandstand quantity as well as dimensions “A” and “B” are given on
Page 23 and Page 24
for 20 gauge.
1. Layout centerlines of tank. Make sure one centerline is in line with the direction of the flooring planks
while the other centerline is perpendicular with the flooring planks. (See Figure 2B.)
2. From the centerline that is perpendicular to the flooring planks, measure the distance of “C”
Dimension and mark a chalk line. (See Figure 2B.)
3. From the line chalked in the previous step, measure over the distance of “B” Dimension and chalk
another line. Repeat this procedure across the bin until reaching the wall in both directions. When
completed, there should be a set of parallel lines (perpendicular to the floor planks) with “B”
Dimension distance between each line.
(See Figure 2B.)
