auff-IH STRENGTH/00TSTMDIN6 FEATURES
DOUBLE-STRONG SPREADERS SPAN CHUTE DOORS—Craine
spreader assemblies are engineered to develop twice the design strength
of the hoops,
□ Single and double hoops are tied to 5' channel steel spreaders with
single 9/16"' draw bars above and below the door.
□ Triple hoops connect to 6' channel steel spreaders with 11/16* draw
bars spanning the door frame.
□ Quadruple hoops connect to 6" channel spreaders that have a steel
plate welded across the face creating a box-member for additional
strength to meet the required tension of the four 9/16" draw bars, two
above and two below door opening. In this way, the double strength
objective is assured from top to bottom. ‘Sling’ type spreaders used on
many silos actually reduce the potential strength of their connecting
hoops by as much as 50 per cent.

CRAINE STAVES... STRONGEST IN THE BUSINESS—Craine
staves are 354" thick, nearly twice as thick and 2V4 times stronger than
ordinary staves. Five air cells —cone-shaped for drainage—form a
truss for still more strength. The air space, along with light color,
provides insulation value and reduces thermal conductivity below that
of steel. Craine staves are tongue and grooved to interlock securely on
all four sides, forming a smoother wall, inside and out.
tflG, EASY-TO-HANDLE DOORS—Craine doors are 20' by 23' for
easy access. Two layers of redwood form each door. Beveled on all four
sides for tight seal. Swing on husky hinges and stay there—no hoisting or
danger of dropping one (the hinge forms an easy-to-use ladder). Door
frames are reinforced with a Vt" high-tensile continuous-weld steel rod.
