Warehouse Mezzanines: Efficiency & Safety

Warehouse Mezzanines: Efficiency & Safety

If you are operating a business out of a warehouse or shop there is a high chance that storage and space restrictions have been an issue on more than one occasion. Avoid the cost of moving to a larger facility or construction to expand your current space with the simple solution of installing of a Mezzanine system. Otherwise known as a raised storage platform, you can virtually double your floor space with a mezzanine allowing for optimal storage and an increase to your bottom line.

EFFICIENT USE OF WAREHOUSE SPACE

Because the installation of a Mezzanine is semi-permanent these freestanding structures can, in most cases, be dismantled and relocated to allow you to continually expand the space and optimize the warehouse layout. We also recommend other storage solutions such as shelving and racking to complement your mezzanine floor. There are a number of options for Mezzanine systems including structural, wide-span structural, rack supported and shelving supported. Our well-trained experts can design a Mezzanine system that will maximize all the available space that your facility has to offer.

STORAGE SYSTEM THAT IS STABLE & SAFE

A mezzanine system should be designed to meet your needs without compromising the safety and stability of the warehouse storage solution. There are a number of components offered with a mezzanine system that can increase safety and prevent injury.

  • Ladders & Grab Rungs – Mezzanine ladders, available in many different lengths, are designed and manufactured for heavy duty loading and industrial purpose. They are easy to install and can provide safer access to docks and mezzanines. Ladders are available in a side step model or walk through. Grab rungs continue for four feet above the top tread of the ladder for added safety. Check out our page for even more information on ladders.
  • Pivot Safety Gates – Pivot safety gates are designed to protect open areas on mezzanines, storage platforms and rack systems during loading and unloading of material. They are easily installed into existing handrail systems and offered in both standard and custom sizing.
  • Unitran Staircases – Unitran staircases are manufactured to meet national building code standards and available in multiple colours and tread variations. Stairs offer quick and easy access to your warehouse mezzanine.

Expand your storage space and get the most out of your warehouse. For mezzanine system advice, racking or shelving solutions, contact our experts at your local Commander Warehouse Equipment Ltd.

At Commander Warehouse, we’ve seen mezzanine systems built to last decades and others that were a liability from day one. The difference rarely comes down to budget.
