Mystery Brackets

[AK 99]

So I bought a house earlier this year and I've been going through all the stuff that was left behind in the barns and garages. There's all these brackets that I still don't know what they are for. I'm guessing that many people here know exactly what they are.

I think they are for a Henway!

What's a henway?

[AK 99]

Lol, it took me a minute... but I get it.

 

[The Cobbler]

Serious?

nahh . I was kidding

 

[The Bean]

...Marx Bros routine...

 

[AK 99]

Mostly I'm just trying to figure out if they are of any value to someone, or if they should go in the scrap pile.

 

[Bad Eye Bill]

nahh . I was kidding

I thought maybe but your little head scratching guy made me wonder.

 

[The Cobbler]

lol

Anyone who needs those isn't going to be casting about hoping to find some used.

Some kind of hat channel clip, or steel stud pipe support?
They look a lot like Clark Dietrich Trade Ready steel framing blocking.

 

[WNYflyer]

Grain Bin floor support stands similar to these?

 

[The Cobbler]

might be on to something there

Grain Bin floor support stands similar to these?

That's gotta be it!

Makes sense too, since it's an old farm. At one time, there was a total of 4 grain bins but now there is only one. I've found other new and used grain bin parts laying around too.

 

[Beau Nugget]

I was going to say grain bin floor supports too

Nice Call.
They come in quite a variety too.
Shorter bin with big cutouts.

Taller bin style with smaller cutouts.

They all have the notched end that clips into the floor and the cutouts to "help" airflow.
