3. Decal Location

DO NOT EXCEED PLATFORM LOAD LIMIT
DC-2146
Excessive load will damage platform and cause platform to fall.
Load limit = 500 LBS. (2.25 kN)
DANGER
> 500 lbs
(2.25 kN)
Injury or death will result.

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.

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.

Chapter 8: 16"-24" Head Platform Assembly
Considerable time is dedicated at the beginning of this manual to the proper orientation of channels and decks. This is because the orientation of these elements is essential to the proper construction of the head platform.
1. There are many ways to get the orientation wrong and only one way to get it right.
2. Proper orientation of the channels and decks is essential proper assembly.
3. Proper construction of the head platform can only be completed if the initial orientation of the channels is done correctly.
Please take time to confirm that the orientation of these early elements is correct before you begin to assemble the decking on to the channels.
Attach Main Support Channels to Lower Head
1. Place lower head section on solid and level surface.
2. At both the Discharge End and Up-Leg End, orient the channels so that lip/channel openings face outward, away from the lower head.
3. Attach each Main Support Channel to the Lower Head Bracket at the top most set o f holes using 3/8" x 1" bolts and nuts and torque to standard specifications. (See Figure 8A.)

IMPORTANT: Trim each rail as listed. Do NOT attempt to make entire adjustment by trimming only one
rail. Each rail must be trimmed and installed as stated for proper fit.
IMPORTANT: For safety purp oses, make sure head of bolt is to the inside of platform with nuts on o utside
at all connections.
1. Identify and separate the large and small intermediate handrails.
NOTE: The small intermediate handrail (LDR-4088) fits inside of the large intermediate handrail.
It is critical that large and small rails be properly identified in advance. Rails are cut to size and cutting the wrong rail or to the wrong length will prevent proper installation.
