Floor Load Reinforcement
Heavy imaging equipment often exceeds standard hospital floor capacity:
- MRI magnet: ~6,000 kg point load + spread
- CT gantry: ~4,000 kg
- Linac: ~10,000 kg (plus shielding weight)
- Fluoro / DR: often OK on standard floor
Structural engineering survey required before install planning. Reinforcement costs can exceed the equipment price on upper-floor installs.
