Strong Floor Facility Base

MGA’s Strong Floor approach is a universal system which can be used for many types of laboratory environments. The design includes a floor-level T-slotted section which can be adjusted in terms of the slot width, depth, and spacing. The floor is anchored with a structural steel insert and a steel rebar grid. This system can be used as a bedplate replacement for many types of safety, durability, or other test applications. The floor can be tailored in size to fit various dimensional foot-prints. This approach is also ideal for the development of large-scale laboratories in which large areas of T-slotted flooring is desired. When laboratories are developed from the ground up or utilizing an existing building, MGA’s strong floor system is often an excellent choice early in the design process. This system has been used at many of MGA’s internal laboratories and has functioned well for many years.

Accelerator Sled Facility

MGA’s Accelerator Sleds have supported a variety of industries throughout the world for over 20 years. With systems installed in facilities ranging from automotive OEMs to child restraint manufacturers, our facilities have produced repeatable results that aid in product development. Not only do we design these systems but 12 of our sled systems are being used at MGA facilities every day. With this comes the ability to layout optimized lab space to maximize efficiency.
