The Reinforced Structure is twice as heavy as the standard skeleton,<ref name="TOp342+"/> but it can sustain twice as much damage as a normal BattleMech skeleton. Despite being heavier and tougher than the typical Internal Structure, it doesn't have any of the bulk associated with other structure types.<ref name="TOp342+"/>

Since the Reinforced Structure is its own type, and not a modification, it cannot be combined with other structure types such as the [[Composite internal structure]] or an [[Endo Steel]] structure. It also cannot be mounted on ProtoMechs for the same reason.<ref>''[[TechManual]]'', ProtoMech Construction Rules</ref>

Every point of a Reinforced Structure can sustain two points of damage, much like [[Hardened Armor]]. When rolling for critical hits, the Reinforced Structure imposes a −1 penalty to the roll. 'Mechs with a Reinforced Structure cannot mount more armor than they could normally. A Reinforced Structure weighs 20% of the BattleMech's total weight.<ref name="TOp342+"/>
