Industrial Warehouse Mezzanines

A robust, space saving solution for heavy-duty storage needs in warehouses and distribution centers.

Why build on when you can build up? These elevated mezzanine work platforms, also referred to as industrial steel mezzanines or industrial mezzanine floors, offer a cost-effective way to optimize storage and workflow in any industrial setting.

By installing a free-standing mezzanine, businesses can create multiple levels for storage, office space, or equipment while maintaining their existing floor layout.

What is an Industrial Warehouse Mezzanine?

An industrial warehouse mezzanine is a steel-structured work platform that allows businesses to increase usable space by creating an additional floor level within their warehouse.

Industrial elevated work floors are perfect for warehouses with high ceilings, allowing companies to use vertical space more efficiently without compromising the existing floor plan. Mezzanine systems can be tailored for various applications, whether it’s for additional storage, office space, or equipment handling.

Made with structural I-Beams and open web steel joists, the live load and point load capacities are much greater. This allows for more freedom of design for multi-level and long span platforms to meet any capacity, in any seismic zone.

Mezzanine Safety & Compliance

Industrial steel mezzanines are engineered to adhere to strict safety regulations, including compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. Mezzanines are also designed to meet seismic requirements, ensuring that they are safe for installation in earthquake-prone areas.

• Guardrails and Handrails: To prevent falls and ensure secure access.
• Seismic Compliance: For safe installation in regions with earthquake risks.
• Slip-Resistant Flooring: Ensures safety during movement and operations on the mezzanine.

Financial & Operational Advantages of Industrial Mezzanines

Installing an industrial warehouse mezzanine is not only an operational advantage but also a financial one. They qualify as capital equipment, meaning they’re eligible for depreciation tax benefits. Additionally, since they can be disassembled and relocated, they’re an excellent choice for businesses that rent their warehouse spaces.

• Tax Savings: As capital equipment, mezzanines offer depreciation tax advantages.
• Cost Savings: A cost-effective alternative to expanding your warehouse.
• Scalability: Mezzanines can be easily expanded or relocated as business needs change.
