Electric Cord Hanger For Sweep Augers
 ✖  |
When using a sweep auger in a grain bin, you have to keep your eye on the electric cord as well as the auger. We came up with an electric cord hanger, positioned 7 1/2 ft. above the auger and motor, to hold the cord and allow it to drop to the motor from the center of the bin. The hanger idea works in bins from 12 to 48 ft. dia. We made it using 10-ft. long, 1-in. dia. tubing. The channel iron base fastens to the ladder or side of bin. A chain braces the hanger. Plastic electric ties hold the cord to the tube so it accordians back and forth as needed. (Richard Layden, 11443 E. 4200 North Road, Hoopeston, Ill. 60942)
