Is your company expanding and outgrowing your current office? Are you looking to utilise wasted space and triple the capacity of your warehouse? You may feel like moving is your only option, but what if there was a way you could save money on relocation costs when expanding and instead utilise the current space you are already paying for.

What is a mezzanine floor?

Mezzanine floors make use of unoccupied space in warehouses and storage facilities with high ceilings by installing units that sit overhead and provide ample space to store goods and materials. Developed from sturdy steel racks and shelving, these crafty space-savers can be single or multi-levelled. The design may vary depending on the custom specifications, but the following features can typically be included during construction:

• Stairs that extend across multiple floors (typically maxing out at about 3 or 4 levels)
• Dispatch shoots to send goods down from upper levels
• Under and above ground shelving and cantilever racking system
• Flat, sturdy space for desks and offices

Comparing mezzanine floor options

A mezzanine floor could be the perfect solution to expanding your business, but picking one that works well with the current layout of your space is important. Whether you are after an additional storage place for parts and products or are looking to grow your business by increasing capacity for your office overhead, a mezzanine floor is the best option.

Raised storage areas are built vertically over an existing workspace and are a great semi-permanent option for warehouses experiencing a current shortage of space. Rack supported mezzanine floors are typically erected to use when archiving old products or additional product storage is required. Clearspan mezzanine floors free up ground space by creating an additional level which can be used for surplus employee office space or storage of goods and products.      

Easily installed, cost-effective and extremely versatile

Increasing space in your business doesn’t have to break the bank. Immediately extend storage, racking and shelving space by installing Mezzanine floors.
