Conveyor Supports and Manwalks

When your customers need better access between equipment, bins, and service points, catwalks and manwalks become a critical part of the overall system. Grain Systems Distribution helps dealers source catwalk and manwalk solutions that support safer movement, cleaner layout design, and better long-term usability across grain handling applications.

For dealers, this is about more than just connecting structures. It is about helping customers move through the site more safely, access equipment more easily, and support the rest of the handling system the right way. GSD helps make that easier with practical product support and access to structural solutions that fit the application.

The GSD Advantage

A Better Access Solution for the Full System

Customers often focus first on the handling equipment itself, but the access structure around that equipment has a major impact on how usable the system is day to day. A well-designed catwalk or manwalk can make inspection, service, and routine movement around the system more efficient while helping the customer get more long-term value from the installation.

That creates a strong advantage for dealers. Instead of treating access as an afterthought, you can offer a more complete system recommendation — one that considers not just grain flow, but how the customer actually operates and maintains the equipment.

Built for Safer, More Practical Movement

Built for flexibility and adaptability, they’re able to support everything from light loads to very high-capacity conveyors of over 400 tonnes/hour (14,700 BPH*) with minimal use of towers, greatly reducing material requirements and installation costs.

The AGI Hutchinson reference solution highlights both trussed and non-trussed manwalk options. Its trussed manwalks are listed as 26 inches wide, available in lengths from 8 feet to 40 feet, and designed for up to 40-foot free span. The same page also notes non-trussed manwalks in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths, using 14-gauge perforated walkway surfaces and a 4-inch kickplate.

Those kinds of features matter because they support the dealer’s ability to recommend with confidence. Customers want access systems that feel solid, offer traction, and are designed with real working conditions in mind. GSD helps dealers source that kind of practical solution.

Easier to Support as Part of a Complete Structural Package

Catwalks and manwalks rarely stand alone. They are typically part of a larger structural package that may include towers, platforms, ladders, and conveyor supports. GSD helps dealers source these products as part of a more complete solution, which makes it easier to coordinate structural access with the rest of the grain handling system.

That saves time, reduces the need to chase multiple suppliers, and helps dealers better support customers from planning through installation.
