Assembly & Installation
B3.1 Note: On bins 30’ and larger with a
double-bracketed track, a gap has been
left to prevent interference between
vertical seam on sidewall sheets and track
brackets. Install first section of track with
bin wall seam in place of missing bracket.

Companies
B4 Mount remaining track sections using steps B2-
B3, joining track sections together with 3/8” x 1”
bolt and 3/8” lockwasher and nut. Tighten using
9/16” wrench. Figure 5.
B4.1 Note: Ensure these bolts are pointing to
outside (toward bin sidewall) to avoid
obstructing machine movement.
B5 After all track sections are in place, drill second,
lower bolt holes through bin sheets using track
brackets as pattern. Figure 6.
B5.1 Note: Drill through middle bracket holes
only when dealing with 4.0” cor. sidewall
sheet.
B5.2 Note: Drill through bottom bracket holes
only when dealing with 2.66” cor. sidewall
sheet.
B6 Insert 5/16” bolt no longer than 1” into newly
drilled holes. If needed, insert a longer bolt
pointed to outside to avoid obstructing machine
movement and screw on 5/16” nuts. Tighten
using 1/2” wrench.
B6.1 Note: Leave unused track bracket holes
empty. Figure 6.
B7 Tighten 5/16” nuts on top bolts through track
brackets using 1/2” wrench.
B8 Ensure entire length of track and bin wall is free
of any obstructions that could hinder movement
of machine through bin.
C. Installing Track When Holes for Track
Brackets Must Be Drilled
C1 Place first segment of track in bin.
C2 Drill holes in top bin sheet to match holes on
each bracket:
C2.1 When drilling 4.0” Cor. sidewall sheets,
use top and bottom track bracket holes as
guide as shown in Figure 4.
C2.2 When drilling 2.66” Cor. sidewall sheet,
use bracket holes as guide to drill through
corrugation hills on sheet.
C3 Insert 5/16” x 1-1/4” bolt through top bolt holes.
Figure 6.
C4 Mount first segment of track over bolts and
screw on 5/16” nuts. Figure 6.
C5 Insert 5/16” x 1” bolts in lower holes of track
bracket and add 5/16” nuts. Tighten using 1/2”
wrench. Figure 6.
C5.1 Note: Leave unused track bracket holes
empty. Figure 6.
C6 Mount remaining track sections using steps C2-
C5, joining track sections together with 3/8” x 1”
bolts and 3/8” lockwashers and nuts. Tighten
using 9/16” wrench. Figure 5.
C6.1 Note: Ensure these bolts are pointing to
outside (toward bin sidewall) to avoid
obstructing machine movement.
C6.2 Note: Because of the large variation in
diameter from bin to bin, it may be
necessary to use a splice to join the last
section of track. These splice sections are
available at no charge by contacting
Sukup Manufacturing Co. by mail at Box
677, Sheffield, Iowa 50475; by phone at
641-892-4222; or by e-mail at
info@sukup.com.
C6.3 If splice is required, bolt splice sections in
place and tighten.
C7 Ensure entire length of track and bin wall is free
of any obstructions that could hinder movement
of machine through bin.
