I did a vertical lift recently that was a parts store. 'Modula' brand. If that is what you have, see FMDS 08-33 for vertical carousel storage. With the configuration we had (non-combustible containers), we ended up in FMDS 08-34 treating as a vertically enclosed ASRS storage unit with storage sprinklers at the top on reduced spacing and an interface for automatic shutdown. The manufacturer had an information page on the places we were permitted to penetrate the top of the unit.
Hope that helps Kind regards [cid:[email protected]]Nicky Marshall Southern Regional Manager PROTECH DESIGN LIMITED Specialist Fire Protection Consultants Mobile Phone: +64 (0)21 433 488 Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Web: www.protechdesign.co.nz<http://www.protechdesign.co.nz/> Address:105A Alabama Rd, Redwoodtown, Blenheim 7201, NZ [A close up of a sign Description automatically generated] "I always wondered why somebody doesn't do something about that.
