 High Storage Performance Mezzanine Floor Design Multi Level Racks System

Mezzanine rack system is a cost-effective storage solution to make best use of vertical space by doubling or tripling the usable surface area in your facility. The second and the third platform are supported by the upright frames of racks standing on the floor, so the system is also called rack supported mezzanine.

With a mezzanine rack system, your warehouse can provide you with additional work areas or storage space without incurring costly renovations or moving to a new facility. Based on your budget and storing requirements, mezzanine can be equipped with different types of floors including wood, steel and grille, and a variety of accessories including stairs, handrails, elevators, etc.

Common Mezzanine Components

• Flooring: Choose from resin board, corrugated decking, bar grating, and open steel planking.

• Staircase: Numerous models and options available including number of rails, angles, risers, tread, and step width.

• Handrail: Handrails are designed to keep employees safe.

• Loading Gate: It is used to expedite proper material handling. Options include single swing gate, double swing gate, sliding gate, lift-out safety gate, and safety pivot gate.

• Elevator: To help product move efficiently to and from the mezzanine level.

• Chute: Cargoes can slide from the mezzanine floor to the ground floor through the chute, improving working efficiency.

• Kickplate: Kickplate contributes to the safety of workers in warehouse. With the kickplate, falling goods will not slide off the edge and potentially hitting personnel on the level below.

• Rear Decking: Used to protect cargoes from accidentally falling.

Advantages of the mezzanine rack system

• Optimize space utilization rate: It takes full advantage of underutilized air space in your warehouse to multiply the available surface area, allowing for more storage and operational space.

• Easy assembly and dismantlement: Mezzanine floors can be easily integrated into existing warehouse racks, making installation easy and vice versa.

• Cost-effective: It creates more space for storage without expanding your facility so as to save money.

• Customized configuration: Based on your storing requirements, the mezzanine floor can be expanded, moved, or modified, and the mezzanine system can be designed to meet specific framing options, safety codes, access point requirements, flooring types, and product loading and unloading operations.

• Versatile application: A mezzanine rack system can combine with a carton flow rack, cantilever rack, shelving, selective rack, pallet flow rack, conveyor, etc. to store all kinds of products in your warehouse. Besides, the increased surface area leaves enough space for both storage and operation.

• Improved working efficiency: Multi-tier configuration enables parallel picking across multiple tiers, improving the efficiency of storing and retrieving goods.​
