Can a raised floor installed with Uptec pedestals withstand car passage?
Raised floors cannot withstand car passage. One of the advantages of this system is, in fact, the possibility of carrying out a dry tile installation without the use of adhesive and allowing for the future removal of the structure. This type of installation has optimal resistance to static loads (Uptec resistance to point loads = 14kN), but the components are not connected to each other, so the wheels of a vehicle which cause friction across the tile surface could collapse the structure.
