Load-Bearing Modular Buildings Maximize Work Space Potential

Two story and storage load-bearing modular building systems manufactured by Porta-King Building Systems support loads up to 125 lbs./square foot without the us of additional structural support columns.

The strength of Porta-King's modular systems stems from the inherent strength of the vertical connecting posts used to connect wall panels together. Although our vertical connections can accomodate substantial loads there are some applications that require the incorporation of a mezzanine.  This typically occurs for designs that require substantial clear span conditions.  This means that there can be no structural columns used inside the footprint of the building.  Mezzanines can also be required for designs that require taller modular walls on the first floor that go beyond the safety factors we maintain for the loading on our connections.  The good news is that Porta-King manufactures the highest quality, structural steel mezzanines for seemless inclusion into our modular buildings when required.

Load-bearing modular buildings are an economical option for adding work or storage space indoors where vertical open space is 17 feet or more, according to Porta-King Building Systems, a leading manufacturer and engineer of modular building systems. They are a viable solution in where horizontal work and storage spaces are at a premium and vertical space is readily available for expansion.

Load-bearing structures can be used in a variety of applications. They can be fully open for storage and stacking or fully enclosed for use as a second work space where it is important to control an indoor environment and sound attenuation.
