MEZZANINE RACKS

Q: What types of steel are commonly used for mezzanines?

There are three common types of steel used for mezzanines: -Cold-Rolled Steel: Lightweight with a smooth finish, ideal for stock monitoring, and still offers strong load-bearing capacity. - Structural Steel : Cost-effective and heavier, using tubular and joint columns with I-beams for optimal support. - Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant and ideal for food processing environments but typically more expensive.

Using mezzanine racking to add a second or third level inside your facility to create more usable space.

THE PRODUCT

Mezzanine racking is an advanced storage solution designed to maximize vertical space by incorporating a structural intermediate platform within a warehouse or storage facility. This elevated platform creates additional usable space both above and below, significantly increasing the storage capacity without requiring facility expansion. By utilizing mezzanine racking systems, businesses can effectively double their storage area, optimizing space for various operational needs. The system is ideal for high-volume warehouses, distribution centers, and industries requiring efficient use of available space, offering a cost-effective and scalable solution to improve overall storage efficiency.

ADVANTAGES OF THE MEZZANINE RACK

Maximizes Vertical Space:Utilizes the full height of a facility, effectively doubling or even tripling the available storage space without requiring costly building expansion.
Customizable Design: Can be tailored to meet specific operational requirements, including load capacity, access points, and integration with other storage systems like conveyor belts or shelving.
Cost-Effective Expansion:Provides an economical alternative to relocating or expanding a warehouse by optimizing existing floor space, reducing overall infrastructure costs.
Enhanced Workflow Efficiency:Offers dedicated storage or workspace areas at different levels, improving organization, product accessibility, and overall warehouse efficiency.

CASE STUDIES

🚧 Another successful project completed! We recently installed a mezzanine floor for a happy customer, expanding their warehouse by 150m². The build was wrapped up in just 4 days, complete with all the necessary planning and building permits.

Rack Type-Mezzanine Rack.
Total area-42000 Sf.
Height-30 ft.
Lifting equipment- Scissor lift & Slider.

Supplied and installed a 230sq/m rack supported mezzanine floor for an existing client. Within 2 years the client has had to move to bigger premises so we moved his existing floor and added onto it where need be. They were happy to go refurbished material and getting the different systems to marry up was a nice challenge but client very happy with the end result.

FAQS

How can a mezzanine be supported effectively?

The best way to support a mezzanine is by using key structural components such as C-sections, girder joists, beams, and bar joists. These provide robust framing for the mezzanine.

Is my existing slab strong enough to support a mezzanine?

We can work with your engineer to assess whether your current slab can support the mezzanine. If necessary, new footings may be required for additional support.

What are the best decking options for a mezzanine?

The top three decking options for mezzanines are:
– Bar Grating

– Diamond Plate

– Resin Deck

What is the weight capacity per square foot for a steel mezzanine?

Steel mezzanines typically have a load-bearing capacity of 300 lbs per square foot.

What is the minimum clear height required for a steel mezzanine?

The recommended minimum clear height is at least 7 feet, both from the mezzanine to the ceiling and from the mezzanine to the floor below.

What types of steel are commonly used for mezzanines?

There are three common types of steel used for mezzanines:
-Cold-Rolled Steel: Lightweight with a smooth finish, ideal for stock monitoring, and still offers strong load-bearing capacity.
– Structural Steel: Cost-effective and heavier, using tubular and joint columns with I-beams for optimal support.
– Stainless Steel:Corrosion-resistant and ideal for food processing environments but typically more expensive.

What flooring options are available for mezzanines?

There are several options available, each suited for different needs:
– Bar Grating Decking: Allows airflow, lighting, and meets fire safety regulations.
– Diamond Plate Decking: Durable and commonly used at mezzanine entrances.
– B Decking (Corrugated Steel): Lightweight and strong, often used for sub-flooring.
– Plywood Decking: Smooth surface, perfect for moving machinery or pallet jacks.
– Metal Plank Decking: Galvanized for outdoor use, permits the passage of air, light, and water.
