Upright/Laminate Pre-assemblies
Laminates nest inside of uprights and are offset 4" above the uprights.

Assembly Tip:
It may be advantageous
to conduct pre-
assemblies during the
erection process. This
can be a real time saver.

Bolt/Nut Orientation:
To allow for a good seal install the bolts from the inside of the
bin as shown for an externally stiffened bins. Install the bolts from the outside of the
bin for internally stiffened bins.
Upright/Splice Pre-Assemblies:
At the top of a bin, laminates are not utilized and a
splice is required to make the connection between mating uprights. The splice nests
inside the upright similar to a laminate. When pre-assembling uprights to splices,
insure that the splice goes on the top end of the upright, such that the label on the
bottom of the upright remains visible. Keeping the label visible will help prevent
subsequent errors. This practice will also prevent ground interference when
adjusting jack locations.
Upright and Laminate Assembly:
Uprights and laminates are designed to transfer vertical loads through an end to
end, butt connection. Ensure that mating uprights sit squarely on top of each other and do not overlap. Ensure that
mating laminates sit squarely on top of each other and do not overlap. Secure the joints with the nuts and bolts
provided. Failure to do so can result in structural failure.
Upright/Laminate Pre-Assemblies:
Laminates nest inside of uprights and are offset 4” above the uprights
. For
proper orientation, ensure that the labels on the upright and laminate are both
towards the bottom and that the locator holes in the middle portion of the upright and
laminate line up. Bolts can be placed in these locator holes to create a pre-
assembly.
All locator holes, located in the middle of the upright and laminate
flanges, need to be filled with bolts. These include holes in flanges that may
only have one thickness of material.
When properly assembled, both the upright label and the laminate label will remain
visible during the pre – assembly phase. Once assembled on the bin, the upright
label will be covered.

When properly assembled, both the upright label and the laminate label will remain visible during the pre-
assembly phase. Once assembled on the bin the upright label will be covered.
In the assembly layouts, the combination of an upright and a laminate is called an assembly. For example, the
combination of a “C” upright and a “U” laminate would be called a “CU Assembly”. Both the “C” on the upright
label and the “U” on the laminate label, would remain visible, and would therefore remain distinguishable from
other pre-assemblies.
Tip
When creating pre-assemblies, ensure that the labels on both the upright and the laminate are on the
same end, and that the locator holes align with each other in the middle of the parts. Once pre-
assembled, both labels should remain visible.
Note
Once completely assembled onto the bin, all visible holes in the upright and laminate flanges must be
filled. All mating wall sheet/upright holes must be filled.
