Lateral Supports for Silos

The footbridge supports are designed considering the conveyor load, snow load and silo diameter according to the UNE EN ISO 1993 standard

Product Overview:

The footbridge supports are designed considering the conveyor load, snow load and silo diameter according to the UNE EN ISO 1993 standard. We have several systems available:

  • Roof support: Structure formed by “U” profiles, connected to each other and mounted on the roof in order to withstand the catwalk loads.
  • Column: The structure acts as a catwalk support at the same height as the roof support. It is used when the cold formed column is not enough to support the catwalk. Column erected from the ground to the roof support height, braced to the silo with an overhang on the upper part.
  • Wall support: The wall support is a structure that acts as catwalk support at the same height as the roof support. Two pillars bracing with horizontal and inclined bracings are connected to the silo reinforcements through angles.
  • Wall support with cantilever: Consist of a standard wall support, adding the overhang structure with inverted pyramid shape, braced between each other.
  • Double support with cantilever: Consist of 2 standard wall supports, adding the cantilever. The double support is connected to the reinforcements of two silos.
