Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PORTA-KING from 3G Electric.
What are the standard sizes available for PORTA-KING High Density Board Mezzanine decks?
PORTA-KING mezzanine decks are offered in several standard footprints, each with a 9 ft height. Available sizes include 8 ft x 8 ft (64 sq ft), 8 ft x 12 ft (96 sq ft), 8 ft x 16 ft (128 sq ft), 8 ft x 24 ft (192 sq ft), 12 ft x 16 ft (192 sq ft), 16 ft x 20 ft (320 sq ft), and 20 ft x 20 ft (400 sq ft). All decks are supplied unassembled and constructed from high-density fiberboard. The part numbers, such as PK-88HD or PK-2020HD, reflect the dimensions. These standard sizes cover a range of elevated flooring needs, from small work platforms to large storage areas.
What material is used for the decking on PORTA-KING mezzanine systems?
The decking on PORTA-KING High Density Board Mezzanine systems is made from high-density fiberboard (HDF). HDF is an engineered wood product known for its density and dimensional stability, making it suitable for heavy-traffic applications. It provides a solid, uniform surface for storage or work areas. The decks are designed to support foot traffic and typical industrial loads. The HDF construction is combined with a structural frame (not detailed in the provided specifications) to create the elevated platform. This material choice balances durability with cost-effectiveness for industrial and commercial installations.
What are the dimensions and features of the PORTA-KING Smoking Shelter model SMK85 Style B?
The PORTA-KING Smoking Shelter, model SMK85 Style B, is a 4-wall assembled structure measuring 60 inches by 96 inches by 94 inches. It features a steel frame and a two-part polyurethane finish in brown. This shelter provides a fully enclosed, weather-protected space for designated smoking areas. The 4-wall design offers protection from the elements on all sides, with an entry point for access. The steel frame and polyurethane coating are selected for outdoor durability. It is supplied assembled, ready for placement. The shelter is also suitable for use as a bus shelter, providing a covered waiting area.
Are PORTA-KING mezzanine decks shipped assembled or unassembled?
PORTA-KING High Density Board Mezzanine decks are supplied unassembled. This reduces shipping volume and allows for easier transport to the installation site. Assembly is required on-site, typically involving the connection of the HDF deck panels to a supporting structure. The unassembled format also provides flexibility for installation in spaces with limited access. Detailed assembly instructions and hardware are included with each unit. For buyers, this means planning for assembly labor and potentially using local resources. The decks are designed for straightforward assembly with common tools.
What is the country of origin for PORTA-KING products?
PORTA-KING products are manufactured in the USA. However, country of origin may be subject to change based on production schedules or other factors. For specific orders, it is advisable to confirm the country of origin at the time of purchase. 3G Electric provides current information on origin for each product as part of the quotation process. This transparency allows procurement specialists to verify compliance with any applicable regulations or sourcing requirements. The USA origin is typical for the line, but always check the latest documentation.
Can PORTA-KING shelters be used for applications other than smoking areas?
Yes, PORTA-KING shelters, such as the 4-wall assembled model SMK85 Style B, are versatile and can serve multiple purposes. While commonly used as smoking shelters, they are also suitable as bus shelters, providing weather protection for waiting passengers. The fully enclosed design with a steel frame and polyurethane finish makes them appropriate for any outdoor area requiring a designated, protected space. Other potential uses include equipment enclosures or temporary outdoor break areas. The 60 in x 96 in x 94 in dimensions offer ample space for several people. The brown finish blends with various environments.
