Free standing mezzanines are self-supporting structures that do not rely on existing components, such as shelving or racking. Instead, they are supported by structural columns designed specifically for the mezzanine platform. Like other mezzanines, they enhance workflow, efficiency, and throughput by providing additional accessible storage and maximizing floor space in any facility. These mezzanines offer adequate support for offices or workspaces without the need for major construction or downtime for business operations. They are a modular and flexible solution that is highly cost-effective compared to traditional construction, as they require minimal alterations to the building. Additionally, they can be easily relocated once assembled. Free standing mezzanines provide a high return on investment by expanding usable space without the substantial costs associated with building extensions or moving. They can also be customized to meet specific facility needs and can be easily reconfigured, expanded, or relocated as requirements change.
These mezzanines come in various sizes and configurations and can be equipped with additional features such as lights, sprinklers, stairs, parts elevators, and different floor surfaces depending on your operation. Free standing mezzanines are designed to meet safety standards, fire codes, and accessibility requirements, ensuring they are both safe and reliable for use.
When designing and installing a free standing mezzanine, several factors should be considered. First, determine the weight capacity of the structure, which depends on foot traffic and your specific loading requirements. The types and weight of the materials used will affect the construction and the materials needed for your intended use. Some mezzanines can serve dual purposes, such as office storage or order picking, based on your business needs. Additionally, consider the dimensions of your existing space; the ceiling height should accommodate extra storage without disrupting the operations below. If your facility has unusual dimensions, uneven ceiling heights, or space constraints, a custom-built mezzanine may be the best solution.
