4. Overview
Chapter 4: Overview
This section is intended to provide a general, high-level overview of platform assembly for your GSI bucket
elevator. Detailed instructions are given in the pages to come.
This section should be used for reference only and is intended to provide general guidance about the
overall process only.
1. Support Channels:
Proper orientation of channels is based upon the size of the bucket elevator (16", 24", 30" or 36")
AND the right/left hand position of the drive. This must be installed correctly at the start or nothing
else will install correctly.
2. Ladders and Safety Cages:
Ladder sections mount directly to the trunking sections of the bucket elevator. Typical lad der layouts
and charts identifying the support height for ladder packages can be fou nd on Pages 10 through 16.
3. Tie Angles to Trunking:
• Proper orientation of the tie angles is critical for correct installation.
• Note differences from up-leg and down-leg installations.
Be sure to follow the instructions for the size and drive position.
Throughout this manual, particular attention is given to the initial orientation of channels and aligning
bolt holes. Failure to complete these initial steps correctly will significantly impede the assembly and
installation of the bucket elevator platforms.
4. Decking and Toe Boards:
Decking is etched with alpha characters to assist with orienting decks and aligning holes for
connections. Decking connections should be finger-tight only initially so that adjustments can be
made once all decks and toe boards are in place. Only then should all hardware be fully torqued.
5. Handrail Platform Posts:
The number and location of platform posts varies based upon platform and bucket elevator size.
6. Handrails:
Intermediate handrails (those at near knee level) may need to be field cut to fit. The amount to trim
varies based upon the size of the platform being installed. The smaller rail then fits inside of the larger
rail so that it “telescopes” between the posts. Always follow best practices of “measure twice cut
once” and verify the measurement is for the bucket elevator size. Upper handrails do not req uire any
alterations in the field prior to assembly.
7. Platform Braces:
Throughout this manual, safety cage bars (LDR-517BE) are used as platform braces. These are
required for support and stability. Please attach as described through the manual.

Chapter 5: Ladder Assembly
The ladder sections are to be mounted directly to the trunking sections. Quantities and section lengths
may vary depending on overall height of system. If you have a non-standard height system, refer to
supported bucket height reference chart for the correct ladder package for the system.
NOTE: Ladders are of a modular design for ease of modification in the field. These illustrations are only
to be used as a “general” guide to installation layout. The exact assembly may vary due to the
unique nature of each bucket elevator.
Ladder and Platform Layout for European CE Compliance
To comply with European Directives for CE marking, the maximum rest platform spacing is reduced,
in accordance with EN ISO14122-4:2004. Please follow the recommended layouts given below.

b. For 24" Boot Tie Angle: With lip of tie angle up and outward, align edge of tie angle to edge
of trunking at down-leg end. With this alignment, tie angle will extend slightly beyond the edge of
trunking at the up-leg end, as shown in Figure 6B.

NOTE: Refer to ladder layout images, Figure 5A-5G on Pages 10-16.
NOTE: Ladders can be mounted to either the up-leg or down-leg end of the elevator depending on the
height and head platform hatch location.
NOTE: Both up-leg and down-leg bracket locations are shown in this manual. Actual installation location
on either the up-leg or down-leg will be determined by owner preference.
1. Using the holes indicated based on bucket elevator size in Figure 6C, attach ladder support brackets
to boot tie angle using 3/8" x 1" hex bolts. Remember to double check if the ladder should start on
the up-leg side or the down-leg side. (See Figures 6C-6H on Pages 19-24.)
a. 16" Down-leg boot bracket: Use 3/8 " x 1" hex bolts to attach the ladder support brackets to the
boot tie angle using the holes indicated in Figure 6C. Note the outer bracket uses the outer most
holes of the tie angle and the inner bracket will have two (2) empty holes beside it on the tie angle.

1. On the LADDER SIDE, use 1/2" x 1" bolts. See Figures 6I-6K on Pages 25-27 for the correct location
of bolts for each elevator size.
Tie angle must be installed at every trunking seam. NOTE: The bottom tie angle will be replaced
with a rest platform tie angle (GECT1640FCRPX2) where a rest platform is to be installed.
