Implications: Codes:

● MHI has worked with the American National Standards Institute todevelop a “Specification for the Design, Manufacture, and

Installation of Industrial Steel Work Platforms (ANSI MH28.3-

2009).

Depreciation:● Work Platforms qualify for accelerated 7-year capital equipment

depreciation, compared to the 30 years normally associated withpermanent building improvements.

Flexibility:● Work Platforms are “bolt-together’ structures that can be relocated or

expanded as your needs change.

Cost:● Work Platforms can expand the usable space in a building for a

fraction of the cost of new construction ($20 / sq. ft. versus $119 / sq. ft.).
