BendPak's seismic zone considerations for vehicle lifts
BendPak is taking into account the unique code requirement that surround vehicle lift installations in areas with higher seismic risk, such as those near active fault lines. These areas, like Alaska and California, tend to have more stringent code requirements that areas with lower risk.
Seismic-related building codes may influence how a lift must be anchored or instaled. These requirements usually only apply when specified by a local ordinance, a new building project or a permitted facility upgrade. Since each jurisdiction sets its own standards based on regional seismic activity risk, exact requirements can vary.
When seismic compliance is required, BendPak can provide the support and documentation needed to help meet local codes, including anchoring guidance, engineering data, and hardware specifications. These options are avilable upon request.
A word from BendPak
“For most customers, our standard lifts and installation instructions are all they need,” explains Jeff Kritzer, BendPak president and CEO. “But for projects that require it, we can provide alternative lift designs, configurations or installation guidance backed with engineering support and documentation.”
