What's a Mezzanine?

Is your warehouse running out of floor space? Have you thought about adding a mezzanine to your warehouse to add more storage, work, or office space? Mezzanines can be made a variety of different ways. They could be made freestanding, rack supported, or prefabricated. Usually, mezzanines are installed after a building is complete and connected to the building structure.

Freestanding Mezzanine

    Let’s go more in detail on the different types of mezzanines. A freestanding mezzanine is held up by columns that are bolted to the floor to take up as little floor space as possible. These are great if you need the space underneath to be usable. Rack supported mezzanines have racks or other shelving underneath the mezzanine, using the rack uprights to provide structural support. You could make it, so the shelving goes up through the mezzanine floor, and turned into a catwalk, allowing you to be able to go around the shelving making more of the space below the ceiling usable. Prefabricated mezzanines are made for quick and easy installation. They’re designed to fit seamlessly into your work area with the ability to be reconfigured whenever your needs change. Some examples of prefabricated mezzanine uses are extra office space with an in-plant office, installed on the mezzanine, equipment platforms, employee lunch area, or just extra storage.

Catwalk Mezzanine
