Earthquake Resistant Solutions
Warehouses located in seismic hazard zones must implement reinforced safety measures to ensure optimal performance and stability during earthquakes.
Our storage systems feature seismic-resistant, moment-resisting reinforcements, offering the strength and flexibility to evenly distribute seismic forces and absorb energy without collapsing. Bracing and anchoring secure racks and shelving units, while mobile shelving and pallets move along tracks, allowing the storage units to adapt to ground movement.
