One of the Strongest Roof Systems on the Market

  • Certified to withstand a 20 lbs. per square foot live load.

  • Stands up to heavy wind and snow loads

  • One temperature-sensing cable may be attached to each rafter with no additional reinforcement required.

 

Heavy, full circle tension ring, at eave, stablizes roof under all loading conditions. This supports non-uniform loads created by snow drifts, side draw systems, and earthquake forces. Stiffeners attach directly to rafters for a solid roof-to-wall connection.
Exclusive design of bearing plate between stiffeners assures a continuous vertical load transfer with a simple bolted connection. Strong, galvanized, hat shaped wall stiffeners (2" x 6-1/4" and 4-1/4" x 9" provide the best resistance to vertical grain loads and wind when compared to others' Z- and C-shaped stiffeners.
Bins are anchored to concrete with anchor bolts at each stiffener location. All exterior bolts, on both wall and roof, have neoprene washers for a tight weather seal. Four or five rows of high-strength, Grade 8.2, 3/8" bolts per vertical seam mean extra strength and rigidity.
