(1) - Note: The bearing capacity depends on the density of soil medium

(2) - Caution! The structural working capacity of the tube is different from the bearing capacity of the pile in the ground. Thus, generally the bearing capacity of the ground and the power of the equipment of installation will be the limit of the bearing capacity of Techno Metal Posts. Also, the maximum structural working capacity (compression) we can support with a single Techno Metal Post is 50,000 lbs. / 22,670 kg.

The maximum structural working capacity (SLS) includes a safety factor superior or equal to 2.
