Standard Design Data

Shaner Industries | 724-266-1066

The following values are for reference only and represent the typical design loads applicable to a standard metal foundation design and installation method.

• Shear Force – 55 Kips• Axial Force Up – 50 Kips• Axial Force Down – 70 Kips• Torsional Moment – 300 Kip-ft• Overturning Moment – 3,000 Kip-ft

*In the event a higher value than those listed above and/or a restrictive condition of allowable deflection is required, our highly-trained engineers will custom design a steel foundation, with specific installation procedures and equipment, to meet your needs.
