FOUNDATIONS AND SUPERSTRUCTURE SYSTEMS FOR STACKER CRANE HIGH RISE FREEZERS AND COOLERS.

Author(s) : SHAFFER J. A.

Summary

THERE ARE TWO BASIC CONCEPTS FOR THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT OF A HIGH-RISE FREEZER. THE FIRST FOR NEW DESIGNS IS THE < RACK-SUPPORTED > TYPE WHICH UTILIZES THE PALLET STORAGE RACK STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THE WALLS AND ROOF. THE ALTERNATE SYSTEM INVOLVES A STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAMING WHICH SUPPORTS ONLY THE WALLS AND ROOF. DISTINCT COST ADVANTAGES MAKE THE RACK SUPPORTED STRUCTURE MORE POPULAR THAN THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORTED WHILE CERTAIN CONSTRUCTION ADVANTAGES MAKE THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORTED SYSTEM MORE DESIRABLE UNDER THE RIGHT SET OF CONDITIONS. THERE ARE ALSO TWO BASIC STYLES OF FOUNDATION SUPPORTS FOR HIGH-RISE FREEZERS BEING USED. THEY ARE PILE FOUNDATIONS AND MAT FOUNDATIONS. THE USE OF ONE SYSTEM OR THE OTHER IS USUALLY DICTATED BY THE SUBSOIL CONDITIONS.
