Floor area, clear height to the lowest obstruction, intended loading per square metre, and whether you need a staircase, a pallet gate or edge barriers. A photograph of the space is usually enough to start.
We build to 300, 500 or 750 kg per square metre. 300 suits light storage and order picking, 500 is the usual choice for general warehouse duty, and 750 is for heavier stock or where a pallet truck will run on the deck. Specifying higher than you need adds steel and cost, so it is worth being honest about the real load.
No. Ours are bolted modular structures erected without site welding, so they can be dismantled and re-erected elsewhere. On a leased building that is often the deciding advantage.
A mezzanine gives you open floor you can lay out freely, put desks or machines on, and change later. Multi-tier racking gives you shelving on several levels, which stores more per square metre but fixes the layout to the rack grid. Choose a mezzanine when you need usable space; choose multi-tier when you need storage density.
In a building with enough clear height, a single-level mezzanine roughly doubles the usable area of the footprint it covers. The limit is the clear height available: you need working headroom both below and above the deck, so measure from the floor to the lowest obstruction, which is usually a roof beam, a sprinkler line or a light fitting rather than the roof itself.
We build Warehouse Mezzanine Floors to 300, 500 or 750 kg per square metre, with clear platform heights from 2000 mm to 5000 mm. 300 suits light storage and picking, 500 is the usual warehouse choice, and 750 is for heavier stock or where a pallet truck runs on the deck.
