Of all our storage buildings, storage tents and container shelters we have structural calculations available in German. These are available on request and free of charge.

For these structural calculations we work with German engineers. These structural calculations always meet the ′Eurocode′ standard supplemented by German codes DIN+DIBt ensuring wide European and International acceptance. To maintain the legal status, we only provide the original untranslated documents in the German language. Should this cause you any difficulties, you can use these documents as a basis to ask a local engineer to draw up a structural calculation in your own language which meets your local requirements.

All our structural calculations are in German. This is because Germany is our main sales area and because we mainly work with German engineers. All structural calculations are however in terms of content compiled in accordance with the ‘Eurocode’ standard. Any additional requirements are almost always exceeded by the German additional requirements (DIN/DIBt).

We do not translate these calculations into other languages because this would affect the legal validity. A building permit is usually acquired without problems on the basis of the German calculations (which are after the same in terms of content).

A CE mark is mandatory in the construction sector for all permanent building construction components; temporary construction categories such as tents and container shelters do not require one.

Kroftman has been rated a manufacturer of steel constructions, which means the entire process from development to delivery is tested against (European) requirements contained in the Construction Products Regulation (No. 305/2011).

As a guarantee of our quality, all Kroftman storage buildings, tents and shelters are accompanied by construction calculations that meet Eurocode standards.

These are drafted and signed by an engineering consultancy in Germany certified for the purpose. We provide these calculations to you free of charge. If you wish to see them, send us an email specifying the type number.
