Safety Ladder For Grain Bin Is Childproof

Safety Ladder for Grain Bin is Childproof CROP STORAGE Accessories 13-1-35 New 5-ft. long portable ladder designed to hang from the bottom of your bin ladder lifts up out of the reach of children when not in use. The ladder is made of 1-in. sq. tubing and has two 1/4 by 1-in. bent straps on top which hook onto the bin ladder's bottom step. A 6-in. spacer holds the bottom of the ladder away from the bin. When not in use, the ladder hooks can be lifted up to the third or fourth step, making your bin "childproof." "OSHA regulations state that bin ladders must be at least 5 ft. above ground," says Dewey Reed, Galva, Ill., inventor-manufacturer. "Some dealers construct bins with ladders reaching to ground level. However, the dealers are risking a liability problem because ladders are an invitation for accidents." The new ladder's light 16-lb. weight makes it easy to carry from bin to bin. It can also be used as a truck box ladder. Sells for $48.
