This manual was written to assist in the safe installation of the Catwalk System. It is your responsibility as the owner, builder, operator, or supervisor to know what specific requirements, precautions and hazards exist and to make these known to all personnel working with equipment or on the jobsite so that they can take any necessary safety precautions. All personnel, including the installation crew, must read and understand the information contained in this manual before starting construction. Chief Industries, Inc. is not responsible or liable for the misuse of equipment or operation of personnel or equipment in an unsafe manner. Chief Industries, Inc. assumes no liability with respect to proper construction and inspection, assembly, or use of its products established under applicable laws, all of which is the sole responsibility of the purchaser and those authorized for the installation. Follow all local and federal safety laws and regulations. Make certain that all equipment and personnel conform to any applicable OSHA regulations. Work Area Safety Statement To ensure the safety of all individuals in the work area, only authorized and trained persons shall install, maintain and use the Catwalk System.

Check the packing list for parts received and make sure you have everything listed before signing off on the packing list or bill of lading. Chief Industries, Inc. must be contacted within (7) seven days after delivery if there is a shortage of parts. Unloading: When unloading the truck, layout various components according to the number identification and accessibility to the construction site. The following describes the basic order in which the components will be assembled. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Wind Diagonals Cross Braces End Brace Side Truss End Enclosure Walkway Storage of Materials: All galvanized items should be protected from weather and moisture condensation to prevent the formation of white rust. Small parts, such as bolts, nuts, washers, etc., are just as important to an installation as the large ones. Make certain these are located and checked before disposing of containers or packing. Ideally, these items should be stored in their shipping containers until ready for use on the project. They have been packaged to protect against moisture and each container is identified as to its content. Sheet steel should be stored with one end low to prevent moisture condensation. Chief Industries, Inc. shall not be held responsible for materials that are not protected or stored properly after delivery. Claims for Shortages or Damaged Parts: All claims for shortages or damaged parts must be indicated at the time of delivery. An authorized representative of the contractor must be responsible for checking the material as it is unloaded from the truck. If material is unloaded at the building site, and the installation is subcontracted, we recommend that the contractor be informed of his responsibilities. Signing the packing list is your confirmation of complete shipment. If delivery is incomplete or damaged you should promptly file a claim with the delivering carrier. For shortages determined upon receipt of shipment, a back order will be immediately issued and priority given for earliest possible delivery. Shortages determined after acceptance of materials will be handled as a special house order and will be given priority for earliest possible delivery. The customer will be charged for these materials. If he receives an allowance from Chief Industries, Inc., his account will be credited. Chief Industries, Inc. liability in regard to shortages is limited to supplying the missing materials including Chief Industries, Inc. 800-359-7600 Page 11 T Y P E 4 C A T W A L K S Y S T E M freight charges by a commercial carrier. Claims for lost time or completion penalties will not be honored. Manpower Requirement Estimate: Please note that the size of crew will vary depending upon the size and complexity of the project and familiarity with installation procedures. When appropriate your crew should consist of the following to ensure the project is completed in the time frame allowed. • • • • 1 worker familiar with components and drawings, Ground Level 1 worker to unload and stage parts, Top Level 2 workers installing parts & setting fasteners 1 supervisor Please note that this is a partial list of the tools and equipment needed for installation. Individual installations may vary. Tool and Equipment Requirement Estimate: • • • • Electric Hoist, minimum 2 ton Open end wrenches and sockets Impact wrenches with sockets Standard drift pins, 9/16” tapered shank Tips and Shortcuts: The parts are packaged to reduce cost. For the most efficient construction of the complete project please consider the following: 1. Unbundle and sort all components into stacks of similar parts. 2. Layout all parts as shown in the exploded views in the manual. 3. Chief Industries, Inc. ships an additional 10% hardware and fasteners. Collect all dropped fasteners to ensure you have enough to complete the project. 4. Verify that you use the correct components in each catwalk section before proceeding to the next. Chief Industries, Inc. 800-359-7600 Page 12 T Y P E 4 C A T W A L K S Y S T E M Bolt Torque The correct bolts and bolt torque values as specified and provided by Chief Industries, Inc. must be used throughout the entire assembly of this catwalk system. Failure to follow these instructions could result in structural damage and/or failure of the catwalk system. Catwalk Sections Before starting make sure you have a copy of the packing list, this will assist you in identifying the correct part numbers required for your system. All local, state and federal safety regulations and requirements must be strictly observed and enforced. Installation is largely a matter of individual choice and experience. The following general outline is provided for reference only. Note: Leave all hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) loose until all components have been added. This will allow you to square the final catwalk assembly and ensure that tolerances do not accumulate. Note: Bolt heads are to be installed inside of the catwalk walkway. Chief Industries, Inc. 800-359-7600 Page 13 T Y P E 4 C A T W A L K S Y S T E M 1. Place truss sides upside down with the midrails facing inward. With the midrails facing inward the side truss diagonal bracing will be in opposite directions. Verify the correct catwalk type / style by looking at the weld dots located near the end of the catwalk. Truss Section Three Weld Dots Indicates Type 3 Chief Industries, Inc. 800-359-7600 Four Weld Dots Indicates Type 4 Page 14 T Y P E 4 C A T W A L K S Y S T E M 2. Place cross braces on truss sections. Attachment plates on the cross braces will match up with attachment plates on the truss sides. Verify that walkway tabs are located on the desired walkway side. These connections will require (4) 3/4” x 2” Grade 5 bolts with lock washer and nut on the cross brace end plate and (2) 1” x 2-3/4” Grade 8 bolts with lock washer and nut on the cross brace bottom plate. Cross Brace 3. Note that standard sections of catwalk will not have a cross brace bolted to the last attachment plate on each catwalk section. 4. If installing a start or end section of catwalk only please refer to the following steps: a. Terminating end members are used at the start or end of a catwalk run (total length). b. The start or end sections of catwalk will have a terminating end member bolted to the last attachment plate on the truss sections. Use the same hardware for the terminating end member as used for the cross braces. Chief Industries, Inc. 800-359-7600 Page 15 T Y P E 4 C A T W A L K S Y S T E M 5. Install wind diagonals on the cross / end braces. The attachment plate on the wind diagonal will match up with the top side of the attachment plate on the cross / end braces. Wind diagonals are to be positioned parallel to one another as shown below. If the position of the wind diagonal interferes with the conveyor, refer to the enlarged drop through opening section in this manual. These connections will require (2) 1” x 2-3/4” Grade 8 bolts with lock washer and nut. Wind Diagonal Chief Industries, Inc. 800-359-7600 Page 16 T Y P E 4 C A T W A L K S Y S T E M 6.

Chief Industries, Inc. 800-359-7600 Page 18 T Y P E 4 C A T W A L K S Y S T E M Connect Catwalk Sections To complete the total length of catwalk required you must next bolt the completed individual sections together. 1. Bolt a cross brace to the truss sides on the end of one section only. Bolt this cross brace at the designated holes as described previously. These connections will require (4) 3/4” x 2” Grade 5 and (2) 1” x 2-3/4” Grade 8 bolts with lock washer and nut. 2. Install one wind diagonal to a cross brace on the end of each section as described previously. This connection will require (2) 1” x 2-3/4” Grade 8 bolts with lock washer and nut. 3. Bolt the truss sides from each section together. These connections will require (6) 1” x 3” Grade 8 bolts with lock washer and nut. 4. Repeat these steps to install additional sections as required until the entire catwalk run is complete. Note: Leave all hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) loose until all sections have been added. This will allow you to square the final catwalk assembly and ensure that tolerances do not accumulate. 5. At this point assembled conveyor sections may be installed on the catwalk. 6. Hoist the catwalk into place using an appropriate capacity crane. The catwalk must be supported at points equal to half the catwalk length (free span length. Note: The number of catwalk sections that can be connected together is dependent upon the capabilities of the crane lifting the unit into place. When lifting the combined weight of the catwalk, any conveyor sections attached and any other loads such as rigging must be considered into the total weight. Chief Industries, Inc. 800-359-7600 Page 19 T Y P E 4 C A T W A L K S Y S T E M Catwalk Section Weights The weights of the assembled catwalk sections only are as follows: Type 3 = 100 lbs/ft Type 4 = 130 lbs/ft Conveyor Mounting The conveyor may be mounted on the ground, before lifting into place or after the catwalk has been installed. 1. Determine the mounting locations 2. Span angle iron (not supplied) across the cross bracing and weld at all contact points 3. Lift and position the conveyor into place 4. Weld or bolt the conveyor to the mounting angle. Mounting locations on the conveyor must rest on the angle iron. Do not drill into or cut the cross members when mounting the conveyor. Note: If your catwalk structure interferes with the conveyor discharge see the enlarged drop thru opening in this manual. Do not cut any part of the catwalk to fit the conveyor or conveyor drive unit. Install Catwalk Support System Tower Top Load Beams Catwalk Support Beams Chief Industries, Inc. 800-359-7600 Page 20 T Y P E 4 C A T W A L K S Y S T E M After the support tower structure has been assembled and secured in place the catwalk can be installed. The support tower structure is designed to support a top load such as a conveyor or catwalk and this load must be supported by a top load beam bolted/welded to the top of the support tower structure. The catwalk support beams/tower top load beams can be field fabricated by millwright or purchased separately from Chief. (Note: Catwalk support beam recommended size is W6x20 if field fabricated. Contact customer service for tower top load beam recommended size if field fabricated.) 1. Lift the assembled catwalk into place using rigging with appropriate support 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. for the catwalk as specified previously. Locate the catwalk as desired over the tower support system. Install catwalk support beams to catwalk cross braces. a. Catwalk support beams must span two cross braces. b. Catwalk support beams must contact the cross braces only and cannot be supported by or be welded to the wind diagonal bracing. c. Catwalk support beams must be fully welded at all contact points with 1/4” fillet weld. Install the tower top load beams across the tower posts as shown. a. Tower top load beams must span 2 tower posts. Install the catwalk support beams to the tower top load beams. a. Catwalk support beams cannot be welded directly to the tower horizontal bracing or be supported by any part of the tower. Catwalk support beams must contact the tower top load beams only. b.
