Mezzanines for Material Handling, Storage

Mezzanines, platforms and steel structures designed and installed by Storage & Distribution Systems will help end users:

• gain more efficient use of existing overhead space;
• support equipment, conveyors, materials, parts or products;
• elevate plant and factory offices;
• create storage space, and
• provide access over machinery and materials.

Four Main Types of Steel Mezzanines, Platforms

Steele Solutions has expertise in the the four main types of industrial and commercial mezzanines and platforms:

• Free standing mezzanines — also known as structural, steel, or wide span mezzanines, these are commonly used in a wide variety of applications and offer great flexibility in set-up and restructuring if needed. Free standing mezzanines and platforms are considered capital equipment and, thus, can be depreciated over a shorter period of time – providing tax advantages. See an example of free standing mezzanines and platforms.
• Building supported mezzanines – if a building is designed to support additional loads, the structure can be used to support a mezzanine or platform. A blended system can also be developed in which a mezzanine is supported partly by the building structure and partly by columns, as long as the foundation can support the additional load. Steele Solutions is capable of handling building-supported mezzanines without calling in a general contractor. See an example of building supported mezzanines and platforms.
• Rack supported mezzanines – these platforms create a mezzanine level of usable space between existing storage racks, provided that the rack system can support the additional loads. Catwalks also can be installed in these situations. See an example of rack supported mezzanines and platforms.
• Shelving supported mezzanines – ideal for storage of smaller items alongside existing shelving. This is an economical way to make more efficient use of existing space. This type of mezzanine is the least flexible in terms of reconfiguration. See an example of shelving supported mezzanines and platforms.

See the Steele Solutions Mezzanine Guide to determine the type of steel framing best suited for various needs and spaces. We'll create a mezzanine system to meet your specific needs.
