[RE-wrenches] High PSF Mods?

[Jesse Dahl]

Silicon Energy. Their plant in MN is fifteen miles from me and i have been through their training. We put two very large gentleman on a module it took it like a champ. I recall them saying something around 150-180psf.  

I just got back from a RFP release for a silicon energy project. Lots of snow load talk...

I’m not sure the “X” modules in the CS6P line are 113 PSF, but it’s worth a look if you are seeking a rock solid frame. Since the attachment points are right at the frame perimeter, I would imagine that these test out very well.
