Heavy
Duty “Aluma Stand”
Precision Aluminum Products is very pleased to present the Heavy
Duty version of the “Aluma Stand”.
While
the standard version of the “Aluma Stand” has met the
majority of the needs of the Air Conditioning industry for over
a decade and a half, and will continue to meet those needs for many
years into the future, the recent implementation of the 2001 Florida
Building Code has given rise to exciting new opportunities and requirements.
In
line with these new opportunities, and our continued commitment
to provide our customers with quality, code driven products, we
now include the Heavy Duty Aluma Stand in our family of rooftop
equipment support stands. As with the regular “Aluma Stand”,
the Heavy Duty version is ASCE 7-98 approved, and meets all requirements
of the 2001 Florida Building Code.
Constructed
of heavier gauge aluminum, these new
stands will allow units weighing up to 350 lbs to be placed on buildings
up to 18 stories tall, with stand leg heights up to 24” tall.
The following table provides a comparison of the two stands,
showing the
maximum building height, maximum unit weights, and the unit lateral
surface area.
The Heavy Duty Aluma Stand is available in the same sizes as the
regular Aluma Stand: lengths of 2’ thru 18’, with the
width adjustable from 18” to 30”.
