I have a 4" composite metal deck floor. Steel deck is obviously ribbed and thickness is 0.036 inch. For 4 feet span factored load is 637 PSF. The wheel of scissor lift exerts 110 psi for 4" x 1.5" area. Now
110 psi = 16000 psf per 4 feet = 4000 psf. So deck is not ok. Now contractor will scream If I Ask him to reshore.Am I doing any thing wrong in calcs
