From the outside, a Kelly Klosure’s panelized steel building system looks and performs just like a conventional metal building system. But the advantages of a panelized building for the end-user are many. In this series, we will highlight the differences between the Kelly Klosure panelized steel building vs conventional stick-built metal buildings.

This article will focus on the ability to lift the entire building!

Kelly Klosure Buildings can be lifted intact as one piece.  The adjustments to the building design are minimal. Lifting pad-eyes are welded to the eave angles and depending on the building size, a steel baseplate is added to stabilize the walls.

The basic procedure involves unbolting the base anchors, attaching rigging to the lifting points at the building eaves and lifting the building vertically. When the work is completed, re-anchor the building.
