In your storage company we tell you all about it.
Industrial mezzanines are an excellent solution for logistics warehouses that need to multiply the usable area while making the most of the available space. The high cost of industrial land or the impossibility of carrying out works or extensions in a warehouse, are some of the reasons why many companies choose to install industrial mezzanines, especially in sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals or food.
Why choose industrial mezzanines?
Industrial mezzanines are structures specifically designed to expand storage space vertically. This system can support from 300 to 1000 kg/m² of weight, being suitable both for storing goods and for the transit of people. They are versatile options that allow you to double or even triple the space without the need for costly construction work or moving to a new location. In addition, there are two installation options: on the metal racking structure (for greater space utilization) or on pillars or beams (for a more diaphanous space).
As for the accessories needed to comply with the safety parameters in mezzanines, it is essential to install:
Access stairs: The stairs must be made of resistant and non-slip materials, allowing safe access to the upper levels of the structure.
Handrails: These are placed around the perimeter of the mezzanine to prevent goods from falling and as a safety measure for operators.
Doors: In some areas of the aisles, the safety railing can be replaced by doors or openings designed to facilitate loading and unloading. The most common options are hinged, swing or sliding doors.
Which sectors use the mezzanine system the most?
Industrial mezzanines are an ideal solution for a wide variety of sectors, from the storage of documentation, academic material or bookstores, to the dynamic world of IT and electronics. They are also perfect for mechanical workshops and spare parts, industrial supplies and parcel logistics warehouses. Even supermarkets and department stores find mezzanines an efficient way to organize their products. And, of course, the pharmaceutical sector, which demands high standards of organization and safety, also benefits greatly from this versatile storage solution. Regardless of the type of business, mezzanines optimize space and improve efficiency in surprising ways.
Advantages of applying industrial mezzanines
The advantages of industrial mezzanines are so many that they really make a difference in any logistics warehouse. First, they allow you to make the most of vertical space without the need for costly construction work or moving to new premises. Imagine doubling or tripling your storage space easily, simply by taking advantage of the available height.
In addition, access is direct and safe: operators can move between levels with complete peace of mind, improving warehouse operations and reducing risks. And when it comes to versatility, this is where mezzanines shine! They adapt to any type of need, from different models and sizes to customizable colors. They can even be combined with lifting platforms or forklifts to make work easier.
The best part? Installation is quick and easy. You don’t need a big construction site or heavy machinery. It is assembled in the blink of an eye, and if you need it, you can disassemble it and move it to another place whenever you want. And because they are made of strong metal materials, you can be sure that your racks are not only stable, but also safe for operators and cargo.
Finally, a key benefit for the industry: it improves operational efficiency. Thanks to the fact that operators can work on different levels at the same time, tasks are optimized and times are reduced, increasing the productivity of your warehouse – a real investment for any growing company!
