6.44. Commercial Bin Upright Assembly
This section provides information needed to assemble uprights for commercial bins.
Introduction
The Westeel Commercial upright system consists of uprights and laminates. Single uprights, joined by splice
plates, are used at the top of bins. Laminate sections are introduced when vertical load requirements dictate.
Once introduced the laminates continue to be utilized for the balance of the assembly.
A unique feature of the Westeel upright system is the progressive section. Not only do the uprights and
laminates increase in gauge from the top to the bottom of the bin, they also increase in section.

COMMERCIAL BIN UPRIGHT ASSEMBLY
Introduction:
The Westeel Commercial upright system consists of uprights and laminates. Single uprights,
joined by splice plates, are used at the top of bins. Laminate sections are introduced when vertical load
requirements dictate. Once introduced the laminates continue to be utilized for the balance of the
assembly.
A unique feature of the Westeel upright system is the progressive section. Not only do the uprights and
laminates increase in gauge from the top to the bottom of the bin, they also increase in section.
Progressive Sections
Both upright and laminate sections measure 88” long. In the center of each there are vertical holes spaced
at 2” centers. This permits use on both internally and externally stiffened bins.
There are two locations on
each wall sheet for attachment of the uprights. The wall sheet holes that mate with the uprights are
spaced at 4” centers. Therefore only half of the center upright holes get used.
Which set of holes
depends on whether the bin is internally or externally stiffened. The center holes not being used do not
need to be filled with bolts. All other upright holes must be filled with bolts.
Upright/Laminate Identification:
In order to properly erect the bin it is necessary to distinguish uprights
from laminates, it is necessary to determine the gauge of the part, and it is necessary to determine the
width of the section. The various combinations are provided in the Upright/Laminate Table. It is also
necessary to determine the orientation of the parts as there is a distinct top and bottom.
All the
information that is required for erection is contained on the label.
The label, is the easiest means of identification. It contains all of the necessary information. For assembly
purposes,
the label is placed on the bottom of both uprights and laminates.
Upright labels have solid colours and laminate labels are striped.
For both uprights and laminates, the
colour corresponds with gauge and style
(see table next page).
Each
upright and laminate has a unique identifying letter
. This is prominently displayed on the label,
and corresponds with the respective assembly charts provided (see Upright/Laminate Graphic)
Assembly Tip:
For error free installation, make sure that the identifying letter on the
label coincides with the wall sheet/upright layout for the bin being
erected, and that the labels on both uprights and laminates remain on
the bottom. There is a definite top and bottom orientation for uprights
and laminates. It is imperative that they are oriented correctly.

LAMINATES:
NOT ALL SECTIONS ARE USED ON ALL BINS
Both upright and laminate sections measure 88" long. In the center of each there are vertical holes spaced at 4"
centers. This permits use on externally stiffened bins. There are two locations on each wall sheet for attachment
of the uprights. The wall sheet holes that mate with the uprights are spaced at 4" centers. All center upright
holes must be filled with bolts.
