Joints in airport terminals take a pounding.
Constantly.
Expansion joint covers at airports are, as a rule,
under designed.
Owners and designers often learn the hard and expensive way that using light-duty rubber
and rail systems during initial construction ends up resulting in a very costly and
disruptive retrofit.
So when the Southwest Airlines terminal was added to the
Orlando International Airport, the designer and owner wisely agreed not to repeat the
mistakes made in the airport's main terminal.
They specified and installed a system
designed to handle multi-directional movements while handling heavy loads and providing a
clean, smooth transition surface.
EMSEAL's Migutrans FS 75 can handle it all, from small
baggage wheels to heavily laden skycap carts, ...
strollers, ...
cleaning equipment and maintenance lifts, ...
wheel chairs, and ...
retail traffic.
In addition, the Migutrans offers the ability to handle
direction changes without compromising its elegant aesthetic.
Can you afford not to
repeat the success of Orlando's Southwest Terminal in your airport floors?
