LADDER SAFETY CAGE, AND PLATFORM INSTRUCTIONS
All packages have been structured with the correct components for each ring height grain
bin from 6 rings to 37 rings. 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 for the 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 to be used for the platform
mounting angle. Platform must be located 9 3/8" to the right of the ladder holes. All of these
dimensions are very critical to assure proper fit of all parts!

LADDER PLACEMENT
Ladder placement on the grain bin is very
important at this time. Refer to the diagram
at the left and follow the correct dimensions as
shown. Ladder standoff must be located
8" below the horizontal seam. Check your
ladder to make sure the ladder rung dimples
are to the top surface. Attach ladder to the
standoffs using the holes located 6 1/4"
from the end of ladder section. Use 5/16" x
3/4" bin bolts for these connections. Now all
standoffs must be located in horizontal seam
holes (repeating every 32") until reaching
the first rest platform. Refer to the section
in these instructions that references the location of intermediate rest platforms for further
hole locations.
PLATFORM SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
When starting the platform support, you
must attach the mounting angle to the
sidewall of the grain bin. Refer back to the
first page for the correct holes to be used
by the platform. Attach the angle using
5/16" x 3/4" bolts and nuts, tighten at this
time. Next, bolt the support angle to the
mounting angle again using the proper
holes. Attach the brace angle to the
mounting angle as shown in the diagram
at left. Use 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and nuts for
all connections.

Extension rails are provided to extend the side rails of the ladder above the eave of the
roof and to support the safety cage at that point. T wo rails have been provided, one for each
side of the ladder . Refer to diagram above for proper location and assembly of the extension
rails in relation to the ladder . Use 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and nuts to attach the ladder. Tighten the
bolts at this time.
EAVE ADJUSTABLE BRACES
After extension rails are firmly attached, the adjustable braces must be attached at this
time. A larger diameter tube and two smaller diameter tubes are used to make up one
adjustable brace. Slip the smaller tubes inside the larger tube and attach one smaller tube to
the top of the extension rail. Adjust the other smaller tube so the bottom of the flattened tube
reaches the roof rib. Field drill four 5/16" holes through both large and small adjustable tubes
and bolt together using 1/4" x 1.1/2" bolts and nuts. This will keep the adjustable brace from
slipping.
Attach the safety cage brackets to the extension rail and ladder as shown in the
diagram. Brackets must be placed every 44". This will occur at every ladder joint. Use 5/16" x
3/4" bolts and nuts.

ASSEMBLY
Start by attaching the platform itself to
the platform support using 5/16" x 3/4"
bolts and nuts. Place all the vertical
angles in place, making sure to place
the vertical entrance angle to the left
front corner of the platform. After all vertical angles are in place attach front and
side handrails as shown in the diagram.
Use 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and nuts in all
connections.
EAVE SAFETY CAGE &
INTERMEDIATE REST PLA TFORM
Before attaching any pieces to the ladder or platform some preassembly will
be required. Take the safety cage hoop
adjuster plate and the safety cage
adapter hoop and bolt together using the
proper holes, (as shown on following
page.) Be sure the proper holes are used
depending on the diameter of the grain
bin. Be sure to use the 5/16" x 3/4" bolt
with the head of the bolt to the inside of
the safety cage. Using the improper
holes will make the safety cage more difficult to assemble. Y ou may now bolt this
assembly to the safety cage hoop half,
tighten bolts as you go. One of the assemblies will take 2 hoop halves and be
positioned just below the platform as
shown in the diagram. Take the assembly and attach to the safety cage bracket
and to the platform extension angle or
the hoop adapter angle. Refer to the diagram for more information. If holes don't
align properly go back and make sure
the ladder and platform are correctly positioned on grain bin in relationship to one
another . Make any corrections necessary
to complete the assembly as shown.

INSIDE LADDER SUPPORTS
After completing the inside ladder it will be necessary to support the bottom of the ladder
to the concrete. Depending on the actual installation, the amount of support may vary . The
supports are not supplied by the manufacturer . Usually the supports can be made of 1" x 1" x 1/
8" angle iron bolted directly to the ladder using 2 bolts 5/16" x 1". If a bin sweep is to be used in
the grain bin, other considerations may be necessary to assure there is no
interference with the equipment.

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.

EAVE ADJUSTABLE BRACES
After extension rails are firmly attached, the adjustable braces must be attached at this
time. A larger diameter tube and two smaller diameter tubes are used to make up one adjustable brace. Slip the smaller tubes inside the larger tube and attach one smaller tube to the top
of the extension rail. Adjust the other smaller tube so the bottom of the flattened tube reaches
the roof rib. Field drill four 5/16" holes through both large and small adjustable tubes and bolt
together using 1/4" x 1.1/2" bolts and nuts. This will keep the adjustable brace from slipping.
Attach the safety cage brackets to the extension rail and ladder as shown in the diagram.

T ake the safety cage hoop adjuster plate and
the safety cage adapter hoop and bolt together using the proper holes, (as shown on
following page.) Be sure the proper holes are
used depending on the diameter of the grain
bin. Be sure to use the 5/16" x 3/4" bolt with
the head of the bolt to the inside of the safety
cage. Using the improper holes will make the
safety cage more difficult to assemble. You
may now bolt this assembly to the safety
cage hoop half, tighten bolts as you go. One
of the assemblies will take 2 hoop halves and
be positioned just below the platform as
shown in the diagram. T ake the assembly and
attach to the safety cage bracket and to the
platform extension angle or the hoop adapter
angle. Refer to the diagram for more information. If holes don't align properly go back
and make sure the ladder and platform are
correctly positioned on grain bin in relationship to one another. Make any corrections
necessary to complete the assembly as
shown.

LADDER SAFETY CAGE, AND PLATFORM INSTRUCTIONS
4 - 9 RINGS ONLY
All packages have been structured with the correct components for each ring height
grain bin from 4 ring to 9 ring. 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.

EAVE ADJUSTABLE BRACES
After extension rails are firmly attached, the adjustable braces must be attached at this
time. A larger diameter tube and two smaller diameter tubes are used to make up one
adjustable brace. Slip the smaller tubes inside the larger tube and attach one smaller tube to
the top of the extension rail. Adjust the other smaller tube so the bottom of the flattened tube
reaches the roof rib. Field drill four 5/16" holes through both large and small adjustable tubes
and bolt together using 1/4" x 1.1/2" bolts and nuts. This will keep the adjustable brace from
slipping.
Attach the safety cage brackets to the extension rail and ladder as shown in the

EAVE SAFETY CAGE &
INTERMEDIATE REST PLATFORM
Before attaching any pieces to the ladder or
platform some preassembly will be required.
T ake the safety cage hoop adjuster plate and
the safety cage adapter hoop and bolt together using the proper holes, (as shown on
following page.) Be sure the proper holes are
used depending on the diameter of the grain
bin. Be sure to use the 5/16" x 3/4" bolt with
the head of the bolt to the inside of the safety
cage. Using the improper holes will make the
safety cage more difficult to assemble. You
may now bolt this assembly to the safety
cage hoop half, tighten bolts as you go. One
of the assemblies will take 2 hoop halves and
be positioned just below the platform as
shown in the diagram. T ake the assembly and
attach to the safety cage bracket and to the
platform extension angle or the hoop adapter
angle. Refer to the diagram for more information. If holes don't align properly go back
and make sure the ladder and platform are
correctly positioned on grain bin in relationship to one another. Make any corrections
necessary to complete the assembly as
shown.

INSIDE LADDER PLACEMENT
The inside ladder package includes the ladder
and double the amount of standoffs as the
outside ladder package. Begin by positioning
the ladder directly under the manhole roof
panel and place the standoffs every 22" vertically on the sidewall sheets using the horizontal seam holes for every other hole location.
Use 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts to attach the standoffs
to the sidewall of the grain bin. Refer to the
diagrams to the left and below .

INSIDE LADDER SUPPORTS
After completing the inside ladder it will be necessary to support the bottom of the ladder
to the concrete. Depending on the actual installation, the amount of support may vary . The
supports are not supplied by the manufacturer . Usually the supports can be made of 1" x 1" x 1/
8" angle iron bolted directly to the ladder using 2 bolts 5/16" x 1". If a bin sweep is to be used in
the grain bin, other considerations may be necessary to assure there is no interference with the
equipment.

Ladder placement on the grain bin is very important at this time. Refer to the diagrams above and
follow the correct dimensions as shown. Ladder extension must be located 8" below the horizontal seam. Check your ladder to make sure the ladder rung dimples are to the top surface. Attach
extension bracket (LS-6676) to sidewall. Extension bracket brace and ladder standoff will attach
to upper hole in extension bracket, refer to diagrams for orientation. Attach ladder to the standoffs
using the holes located 6 1/4" from the end of ladder section. Use 5/16" x 3/4" bin bolts for these
connections. Now all extension brackets must be located in horizontal seam holes (repeating
every 32") until reaching the first rest platform. Extension bracket braces (LS-6704) attach at
every other horizontal seam. Refer to the section in these instructions that references the location
of intermediate rest platforms for further hole locations.
