What to Know About Racking in Montana

Western Montana is in a moderate seismic zone — the Yellowstone region has frequent small earthquakes. Rack installations in the western half of the state should account for seismic loads. Montana has no state sales tax, which can affect total project cost calculations.

Seismic Zone

Montana requires seismic engineering for pallet rack installations. All rack must be designed to resist lateral seismic forces per ASCE 7 and local building code. Budget for heavier baseplates, larger anchor bolts, and stamped engineering drawings.
