Can used rack meet seismic code? YES.

Seismic
AMH has taken the time to educate our sales staff and our customers in regards to seismic issues. Seismic rack is more than large base plates. There are two ways to make rack seismic. The first way is to automatically put on huge footplates, reinforce the uprights, and bolt on the beams. We have seen this done often, and it hurts you, the customer. Why? Because you pay more for what you may not necessarily need. It also keeps the salesman from having to go through the tedious procedure of gathering all of the essential data required to determine seismic calculations.

AMH does seismic calculations the right way. You may not need a large footplate. Your loads may not require reinforced columns. Don’t spend $25 to $40 more per upright until we have determined what you really need. We ask all of the information necessary to determine your individual seismic calculation. We will make sure that your rack meets seismic requirements, and saves you money at the same time.
