The Storage Manufacturers Association (SMA)<\/a> industry group of MHI<\/a> has revised two American National Standards:\u00a0ANSI MH28.2-2022, Design, Testing and Utilization of Industrial Steel Boltless Shelving<\/em>; and ANSI MH28.3-2022, Design, Testing and Utilization of Industrial Steel Work Platforms<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The revision of these standards aligns with SMA<\/a>\u2019s continued commitment to develop, maintain and publish standards for design, performance and safe operation of industrial steel work platforms and shelving products.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese standards were most recently published in 2018,\u201d says Arlin Keck of Steel King Industries, Chair of SMA<\/a>\u2019s Standards Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe updates primarily reflect additional guidelines for the design of boltless shelving and work platforms in high seismic areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Developed by MHI and SMA<\/a>, these revisions represent suggested design practices and operational requirements for industrial steel work platforms and industrial steel boltless shelving. These standards are intended to provide guidance for owners, users, designers, purchasers or specifiers of material handling equipment.<\/p>\n

“SMA<\/a> will be petitioning the International Code Council to adopt these standards into the International Building Code,\u201d said Patrick Davison, MHI<\/a>\u2019s Director of Standards. \u201cWe are optimistic that these standards will be written into the building codes, similar to storage racks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

MHI is an international trade association that has represented the material handling, logistics and supply chain industry since 1945.<\/p><\/div>\n

Chris Pahls of Steel King Industries and SMA<\/a> Chair says, \u201cThese approved AISC standards and ICC submittals reflect our members continued efforts to improve our industry. There has never been a more exciting time to participate in our growing trade group!\u201d<\/p>\n
