Building Safety
Installation of the winching system for raising and lowering the Chain Feeder System in the poultry house
will impose a load on the building. It is essential that you check that the building is able to carry the extra
load. Consult a structural engineer to check the building strength. Details of the likely weight of the
Chain Feeding System are given in the table on the below, however if you are uncertain, contact your
dealer or Cumberland/GSI with details of the system and we will be able to assist you in calculating
the weight.
