Green Link Introduces Custom-Designed Support Stanchions
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — When local building codes require that equipment such as air conditioning units and compressors be elevated off rooftops to allow snow and water accumulation to flow underneath, Green Link Engineering's Knucklehead Stanchions and new Mechanical Support Products are the solution.
The Stanchions feature a vertical slotted channel with an over-molded urethane footing, which is threaded and designed to mate to the center bolt Green Link's Knucklehead Bases. Support rails can be set into the slots and secured with brackets to form a structural frame. Installed, the stanchion allows equipment to be elevated from 6 inches to 24 inches off the roof or ground surface. Once the height is set, the channel slots allow support rails to be moderately adjusted so equipment can be optimally levelled.
