Ladder
Step 4 :
Lower Ladder Assembly 1.5, 2.5 & 3.5 Ton
Bins (See Diagram - 6)
The bottom ladder will mount to the leg
spacer angles that goes between the legs. Find the
center of this angle and measure 8 1/8
”
each way and
drill the 5/16
”
holes. They should be 16 1/4
”
apart do
the same on the other spacer angle in the same sec-
tion. There are 4- 1
”
X 15
”
long angles that will
mount the ladder to the bin frame, they go to the out-
side of the leg angle. They have a hole just back from
one end, put this end towards the cross angle of the
bin, on the top set and (Fig 1) bolt to the bottom side
of the spacer angle using 5/16 X 1
”
bolts. Now mount
the lower set but put the hole on the end towards the
ladder on the bottom set bolt to the top side of the
spacer angle using 2
–
5/16 X 1
”
Hex Bolts. (Fig 2)
Now there are 2- flat straps 1
”
wide X 51 1/4
”
long
that will go from hole that in the side of the top angle
down to the hole that is in the lower angle this strap
should be at a slight angle from top to bottom. Use
5/16 X 1
”
bolts to fasten these in place. There is one
for each side. They are for helping to support the lad-
der. There are 2
–
1
”
X 6 1/2
”
Straps that will mount
the top of the ladder to the top of the cone, bolt one to
ea. side of the ladder using a 5/16 X 1
”
hex bolt and
to the plastic cone using a 5/16 X 1
”
carriage bolt
from the inside out.
Step 5: Upper Ladder Assembly
2.5 & 3.5 Ton
(Diagram
–
7)
There are 2 - 1 X 6 1/2
”
straps that mount to
the top outside of the 3.5 Ton ladder, bolt these on
with the bent end down and away from the ladder. (90
degrees to ladder) Finger tighten with 2 - 5/16 X 1
”
hex bolts.
With the bulk bin laying on it
’
s side,
Now Mount the top ladder section to the top
of the lower ladder, bolt in place with 2 - 5/16 X 1
”
hex headed bolts, tighten completely. Now bend the
top section of the ladder over to the bin. The straps
you bolted to the top of the ladder earlier should be
straight out from the ladder and touching the side of
the bin, now drill the holes in the bin top, use 5/16 X
1
”
carriage bolts from the inside out to fasten them in
place,
(
Tighten all bolts)
Hand Rail Assembly for 1.5 & 2.5 & 3.5 Ton Bins
There are two 1
”
X 28
”
angles that are used as hand
rails that mount to the top of the ladder and the top of
the bin. Bolt the angle to the out side of the ladder so
the angle is up use 2-5/16 X 1
”
hex bolts, and you
bolt the other end to the bin using 2-5/16 X 1
”
Car-
riage bolts. (Bolt from the inside out)
