Not sure either, but don't have a heck of a lot of experience with them, we used to be a lot of concrete stave silos with the aluminum top and hatch.
Being that we were close to a long time dairy farm, whom was and still is a great friend, he used to have my father climb the outside ladder to open the hatch, he had 3 concrete stave silo's. He apparently was the type that did not like heights, well I think silo's and taller things, knowing that my dad always took care of it whenever asked. They may have razzed each other about it, I am sure, but he knew it was of good help and that was more important. Around the time of those years he lost an old timer and friend when loading one of these silos. I recall what the emergency responder described to me, bad scene given the type of equipment, not sure if that had anything to do with it, but for as long as I can recall, we always helped each other out, that was more important than anything and taking care of that hatch when asked was an easy thing to do. Don't think that answers the question but it seems both are necessary for some reason.
