Roof Ring Locations

Two support rings are standard for 36 ft. diameter bins.

IMPORTANT:

Maximum weight to be supported and/or suspended from the roof is to be 6000 pounds

only.

To determine the location of the roof rings (C), start at the wide or eave of the roof panel (B) and count
each hole. Having counted up the required distance, as described in the

Table 8-1, page 102

, install the

appropriate brackets.

NOTE:

Do not install roof step (A) at a roof ring (C) location.

NOTE:

The last roof ring (C) pipe will need to be cut to length.
