Shelving supported mezzanines are a highly cost-effective solution for increasing the storage capacity of shelving units. They allow you to double or even triple your available storage space while optimizing the use of your existing area. Shelving supported mezzanines are ideal for large spans and can handle medium to heavy loads. The columns are made from I-beam structural profiles, with holes drilled into the beam flanges to secure the beams using lateral brackets.
These systems can be designed and installed as part of a multi-level shelving system, featuring options such as industrial steel shelving, rivet-style shelving, or boltless racking. They utilize existing shelving systems as a base for the elevated platform, eliminating the need for additional structural columns that many other solutions require. Typically, they enhance storage capacity by taking advantage of the vertical space in a warehouse, providing additional storage both beneath and above the mezzanine floor. This makes them particularly suitable for storing small items above the shelving and improving efficiency in manual order-picking processes.
Shelving supported mezzanines are more economical than free-standing options and can seamlessly integrate with other warehouse storage systems, such as stairways and shelving, to optimize your overall space. Additionally, they can be installed on top of existing metal shelving, rivet shelving, or wide-span shelving, making them a modular and cost-effective solution for any facility. These mezzanines can also be equipped with various floor surfaces, lighting, sprinklers, handrails, and other features to meet your safety and code requirements.This type of mezzanine is fully customizable to match the load capacity and configuration of your current shelving, adapting to your specific business needs.
When considering shelving supported mezzanines, it’s essential to assess your existing space, take access points into account, identify the types of items you are storing, evaluate your current throughput, and pinpoint the areas where you would like to expand storage. Additionally, consider any gaps that may exist in maximizing efficiency. Optional accessories such as stairs, handrails, vertical lifts, gates, and wire partitions can enhance safety and facilitate optimal movement between floors.
