Mr. Inspector
SAWHORSE
2009 IBC S-2 2B existing warehouse. Owner wants to build a indoor loading area that trucks will be pulling in to park and to load and unload. IBC 903.2.10.1 says fire sprinklers needed for storage of commercial trucks. Owner said trucks won't be stored there, only the trailers. The trucks will pull the trailers in and then leave the trailer there. Isn't the trailer part of the truck. I can't tell without a definition.
Last year I had the same thing with fire trucks. I told the fire co. that fire trucks are commercial trucks. Since there is no definition I went through hell going back and forth with this. The state does desanate anything commercial, except for driver license for different classes. I almost gave up when I saw Webster's definition of Commercial "1. relating to, or engaged in commerce. 2. Designed for profit. 3. an advertisement.". Later L & I told me fire trucks are commercial trucks.
If at least I knew why this section was made I would have some idea which way to go. I don't understand why a commercial truck which might be diesel would be more dangerous than a gas pick-up truck.
Can someone help me with this?
