Details of mezzanine system

For clients who have interests in warehouse mezzanine racking systems, some things need to be considered before contacting your manufacturer for a specific design.

► The exact purpose of the mezzanine

If you want to add an office to your warehouse while not reducing your storage space, you may need a platform. If you want to separate your bulky irregular items with palletized products or shelving stored inventory, a full mat mezzanine should be considered. Or you just run out of space in your existing pallet-racking system, a mezzanine could be added onto it for storage capacity increase with minimum cost.

► The loading capacity that you are demanding

During the design of the mezzanine, the weight it carries will directly decide the materials for its manufacture. The roll-formed mezzanine can be more economic if you only need a light-duty loading capacity. Structural mezzanine is more study and rigid with obviously higher cost.

► The types and features of the inventory you may store

In choosing proper mezzanines that are functional, different products with different sizes, weights and shapes require specific storage solutions that should be taken into account.

► The interacting vehicles you may use in the mezzanine

The moving machines in your warehouse should be compatible with the mezzanine system you will use. If you already have the material handling equipment, talk to your suppliers for some suggestions that may help you choose the right mezzanine racking system.

► The available areas you may have for your mezzanine

The available space inside warehouses will determine the mezzanine scales and dimensions. 

► You budget for your mezzanine

The prices of different mezzanines with different configurations and materials can vary a lot. How to achieve maximum profits with minimum cost is an ultimate goal that we pursue.

► Your expectations and your future business plans

It’s very important to take your business plans into consideration when purchasing such a large facility. Luckily, most of the mezzanine systems can be relocated and modified easily which means they can grow with your business.

Safety Concerns About Mezzanine 

Mezzanines can be dangerous if not designed or used properly. A lot of protective accessories must be integrated into this system for safety concerns.

For elevated platforms, guardrails are essential components to protect products or workers from falling down. Decks for the floors should be consistent and flawless in case of accidental collapse. Fire-proofing materials that permit water permeating and air circulation would be better if possible. Components like vertical elevators, pallet gates, and catwalks can also be added for safe and efficient material handling.

Other accessories such as kick plates, netting, stair handrails, and barriers are also available to guarantee the safe and fluent operation of the whole system. Most of all, consulting professional engineers is always a wise choice during the whole course of designing, installation, application, and maintenance.
