JOINT SELECTION:
To select a joint for lasting function in your application first calculate
anticipated LOAD, MOVEMENT, and JOINT-GAP SIZE, then ask and answer the
following questions:
1) Can this model handle the loads from my
expected traffic?
2) Can this model handle the expected movement?
3) Will this model straddle my designed
joint-gap?
If you answer "NO" to any of the questions move to the next model. When you can answer "YES" to all three questions you have probably found your joint system.

DESIGN FOR DURABILITY:
Point loads are the number one
killer of interior floor expansion joints and surrounding flooring materials.
"Rubber-and-rail" systems don't last. Cover-plates and lightly-constructed "centering-bar and plate" systems create slip, trip and noise hazards.
EMSEAL is proud to offer a unique line of elegant, well-engineered floor expansion joint systems.
The superior design of the MIGUTRANS series eliminates dangerous, noisy, and unsightly joint deterioration as well as the disruption and expense of replacing failed systems.
The complete line of options caters to
a variety of design conditions in both new and retrofit
construction. Wheel and axle load ratings ensure suitability for use by
everything from coin carts and mobile medical equipment to the heaviest
forklifts and other materials handling equipment.
Make MIGUTRANS the Basis of Design for your floors. Go to the MIGUTRANS HIGH-POINT-LOAD JOINT index at emseal.com.
