Technical

The GET is light enough for one person to handle and was formed in a way that it will fit any shape manhole at the top of a bin. It consist of four pieces that when fastened together form an octogonal tube. Holes are drilled in the top of each side so that a steel pipe can be slid through giving the victim something to hold onto if they want and are able. The holes can be used to put a rope through to lower it into the bin or to slide the pipe through to help pull the pieces out of the grain. USE: 1. Slide the first section close to the victim push it into the grain just enough to hold it in place. 2. Sections 2 & 3 will either clip in on each side or can be slid in from the top. 3. The final sectiom must be slid in from the top. You then have a cylinder around the victim. 4. Using blocking and a sledge hammer or axe pound the tool down into the grain around the victim. 5. Scoop the grain out from around the victim. This will relieve the pressure on the victim and allow time to rescue him.
