A Mezzanine Floor Quickly Adds Warehouse Space
With the steady shift in commerce to online ordering and home deliveries, the distribution business is booming and warehouse managers are finding themselves inundated with more products than they can easily store and process for delivery.
Thankfully, most warehouses have plenty of overhead space to hold tall racking. This ample overhead space can also accommodate mezzanine floors, which are free-standing and inexpensive additions to any warehouse. The mezzanine floor can almost double the floor area of any warehouse and save warehouse owners from having to invest in more property.
The simple, sturdy and inexpensive bolt-together construction means that owners can instead invest their savings in equipment upgrades and personnel to service the increase in business afforded by the vast storage space of a mezzanine floor.
Increase Picking Areas
For warehouses that routinely ship small quantities of less than a case, these mezzanine floors present much-needed picking space where small orders can be picked and filled right above floor-level picking areas. They can be sent on a gravity-fed conveyor line down to the main floor, where they can be combined with other orders and loaded onto trucks for immediate delivery.
A well-conceived, designed and implemented mezzanine can dramatically increase the picking and shipping volume capabilities of a distribution warehouse while preserving the same real estate footprint.
Versatile Designs
Talented mezzanine floor designers have long recognized the mezzanine’s versatility and ability to efficiently serve many roles in a warehouse. For smaller businesses and startups that need to keep costs in check while they grow, a mezzanine can easily be turned into a second—and third-level enclosed and air-conditioned office area, removing the need for office rentals.
The easy bolt-together construction of the mezzanine means that rapid expansions and changes due to growth can be accomplished easily overnight and between shifts, providing minimum disruption to ongoing operations. The versatile mezzanine floors can also be outfitted with stairs or lifts and a variety of floors and railings to suit your operational needs. Our mezzanines are also strong enough to hold fully loaded picking racks and roller track conveyor lines, enabling you to increase your operational capacity with complete structural confidence.
