With today’s skyrocketing warehouse costs, leveraging greater use of your current facilities is essential.

Warehouse vacancy is at an all-time low in many parts of the country, and many organizations are having a hard time finding extended warehouse space, particularly in areas like Riverside.

Maximizing the use of the vertical space in a storage facility by adding an elevated steel platform, or mezzanine, can increase storage and production capacity. These mezzanines allow you to expand your operations and storage skyward, while still using the space underneath as you would ordinarily.

For enterprises that outgrow their warehouse, production or distribution facilities, relocating can be an exceptionally costly and disruptive exercise. Industrial mezzanines can be a relatively inexpensive and minimally intrusive method of expanding without having to move.

Warehouse mezzanines are appropriate for most kinds of businesses, from compact warehouses to massive DCs. In a very short time, a mezzanine installation can enhance your performance and provide a meaningful return on investment. There are many options available, from standard prefabricated mezzanines to custom designed, multi-story steel mezzanines.

Prefab Mezzanine Systems

Mezzanine warehouse systems are a perfect solution for maximizing storage capacity, but they can also serve as an excellent vantage point to monitor safety practices and warehouse performance.

There are many different choices available when you are planning an industrial platform for your operation. While most often put into use to increase storage, configurations can also be designed for supplementary uses like offices, breakrooms and conference rooms using mezzanine office modules.

Most mezzanine solutions offer easy setup and teardown. In almost all instances there is no need for structural work on the building. As your business evolves, so can your mezzanine structure-they are easy to tweak and reconfigure.

Mezzanine storage areas can be accessed with mezzanine stairs, and products can be filled and retrieved via gates designed for forklift access. In addition, many configurations make use of mezzanine lift solutions or vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRC) to move products on and off the platform.

Industrial Mezzanine Varieties

• Freestanding: these systems maximize your floor space and feature simple setup, re-configuration and tear-down. Broad span configurations permit easy traffic flow beneath the platform. Structural solutions are ideal for part and product storage.
• Rack Supported: “catwalk” or rack supported systems are mounted on pallet racks, allowing additional storage above the racks. Rack supported choices usually employ multiple gates for loading and unloading pallets within the racking system.
• Shelf supported: for augmenting storage of smaller items, shelving supported platforms are sometimes added above shelving systems. Although shelf supported solutions are extremely economical, they are not as flexible as freestanding or rack supported options.
