What is a mezzanine racking system?

When warehouse footprint is limited, allocating additional storage can be challenging. However, there is plenty of vertical space available. Utilizing this space with mezzanine racking systems can help companies free up more space without having to rebuild the entire facility.

The Spieth mezzanine floor shelving system is essentially a raised platform that allows additional floor space to be created from wasted air space, which can be double or even triple the available space on top of existing work and storage areas.

The mezzanine racking system is an overhead portion of the platform that is installed between the floor and ceiling of the warehouse. In this way it helps to double the available space in the area, enabling additional storage or additional office space to be added above the warehouse floor, while ensuring that there is sufficient space on the floor for warehouse operations.

How Spieth steel mezzanine rack works.

Steel mezzanine floor system delivers goods to the second or third floor by forklift or lift ladder, and then transports them to the designated location by hand truck or hydraulic tractor. In contrast to reinforced concrete mezzanine, this steel mezzanine is fast in construction, moderate in cost, easy to install and dismantle, novel and beautiful in structure, and easy to use on the ground.

What is the difference between steel mezzanine shelves and the loft shelves we usually use?

The main distinguishing feature between steel mezzanine and attic rack mezzanine is that the attic rack is mainly supported by the rack below and the space between the rack and the rack is connected to the floor and can be used to place goods.

Steel mezzanine is not supported by the shelf below and relies on the column and the main beam to support gravity, the space below and above can freely place the shelf and can also be used for office, steel mezzanine is equivalent to twice the space used.

Four major benefits of installing mezzanine shelving systems

Maximize Space

One of the most common problems facing warehouses is overgrowth. For companies dealing with logistics, manufacturing and shipping, having enough storage space is critical to keep up with high receiving activity. By creating additional flooring, mezzanine racking can help warehouses increase storage space while ensuring that the following products are accessible

Unlike other pallet racking systems, mezzanine floors can be built directly over existing areas used for storage purposes or other operations. Instead of taking up valuable space, mezzanine platforms add space, making it a worthwhile investment.

Cost-effective solutions

As your business grows, you may find that your premises do not have enough storage space to store your goods and workflow. Therefore, by installing a mezzanine platform; you can stay in the same location while expanding your business. This eliminates the need to relocate, which can take up valuable time during relocation as there is downtime for the business during this transfer. Therefore, by using mezzanine as your solution, you will be able to save money in the long run.

Improve warehouse security

A warehouse can be a dangerous place to work. There are mountains of heavy pallets of goods stacked throughout the facility, as well as people operating forklifts in the aisles. By adding a mezzanine, it gives your managers and supervisors the option to climb to a vantage point to monitor the activity happening in the warehouse. Making every operation visible also helps prevent workplace accidents and injuries. What is our ultimate goal? An efficient and safe work environment!

Integrate the different elements of your business

Installing an office mezzanine above the warehouse floor or manufacturing space allows the different elements of the business to be in close proximity to each other. It builds a more cohesive and integrated company as a whole when employees from different parts of the company interact and work side-by-side.
