Put 6-in. squares of plywood with holes in the center along the length of the chain. Put cotter pins through the chain below each piece of plywood to hold them in place.
"Before unloading a bin, just hook the chain to the top of the bin and throw the chain in. It'll find its way to the bottom and be there if needed."
