Mezzanine Storage Platforms

Mezzanine storage platforms are innovative structures that increase usable space without the need for costly construction in warehouses and production facilities. These platforms optimize storage facilities vertically, creating additional space above the work floor. They boost productivity and efficiency by maximizing existing work areas with elevated solutions. Warehouses benefit from increased storage capacity, improved workflow, and customizable configurations. Whether you want to expand, streamline, or enhance your storage capabilities, mezzanine storage platforms can help elevate your company’s logistical efficiency.

Applications of Mezzanine Storage Platforms

  • Catwalks & walkways for equipment and other building access
  • Bulk storage space
  • Equipment and production platforms
  • Conveyor support
  • Office or viewing tower elevation
  • Full pallet storage
  • Shelving supports for parts storage
  • Crossover bridges
  • High-density parts storage
  • Elevated work platforms

Technical Specifications of Mezzanine Storage Platforms

  • Load Capacity: Mezzanine platforms have different load capacities based on design, material, and use. Typically, they can support 125–500 pounds per square foot (PSF), catering to light-duty to heavy-duty applications.
  • Layout Options (Bases, Columns, Arms, Bracing): These storage platforms can be customized for different warehouse setups, with choices like base support structure, column arrangement, cantilever arms, and bracing system affecting stability and layout flexibility.
  • Dimensions (Length, Height, Width): Sizes vary to match warehouse dimensions and clearances, ranging from compact mini-warehouse options to large industrial units. Evaluating length, width, and height is key to ensure a good fit.
  • Material: Common materials include cold-rolled steel for light- and medium-duty platforms and structural steel for heavy-duty applications. Decking material choice (steel grating, plywood, or concrete) impacts load capacity based on stored goods and foot traffic.
  • Design: Key design elements include support column spacing, platform-to-building connection, and fire protection. Optimal designs focus on space use, safety with guardrails, and integration with fire suppression and lighting systems.
  • Compliance with Industry Standards: Mezzanines must comply with building codes and provincial safety standards for employee safety and structural integrity, covering seismic, wind, and fire safety aspects.
  • Price Range: The cost of mezzanine platforms can vary widely depending on factors such as size, load capacity, additional features, material quality, and design complexity. We offer competitive pricing on all our mezzanines.

Installation and Maintenance of Mezzanine Storage Platforms

These sturdy structures are assembled precisely, with each beam and girder fitting into place to increase storage capacity. Tools like impact drills and secure fasteners play a crucial role in this construction, ensuring a strong framework.

Maintenance involves routine checks for structural integrity, adjusting safety locks, and keeping the platforms clean to provide a safe inventory space.

Accessories and Customization of Mezzanine Storage Platforms

There are a variety of accessories and customization options available to help you achieve your ideal setup. For instance, guardrails and handrails can be added to enhance safety, while staircases and ladders make access to your platform quick and easy. Customized decking materials can be chosen based on your load capacity and flooring preferences, and lighting fixtures can be installed to illuminate your workspace.

What’s more, modular industrial shelving systems enhance organization, while conveyors and office spaces atop the mezzanine optimize material handling and management.
