Why should you choose a rack-supported mezzanine?

Know why rack-supported mezzanines are an excellent option for warehouses.

Are you running out of space for work and storage? There is no cause for worry!

You can intelligently make use of your existing storage space instead of moving to a new facility. 
Rack-supported mezzanine is a great way to solve your storage problems in an affordable way.

What is a rack-supported mezzanine?

Rack-supported mezzanine creates an additional floor (or floors!) of workspace above the current workspace without the need for a structural mezzanine system. It uses the strength of the pallet racks below the mezzanine to securely support the above floors and their contents.

Simply put, you get a multi-level racking system for your storage requirements that is easily accessible too!

These mezzanines are also called mezzanine racking systems or pallet rack mezzanines.

When do you need a rack-supported mezzanine?

You can consider a rack-supported mezzanine in one of the following situations

1. You need additional storage space but do not want to relocate the business.
2. You want to utilize the vertical warehouse space for storage and also make it easily accessible.
3. You do not want to overdo your budget.

What are the features of a rack-supported mezzanine?

These mezzanines come with a host of features that make them an excellent choice for extending warehouse space.

1. A standard rack-supported mezzanine system can span up to 12 feet.
2. You can customize it in multiple ways.
3. It offers an increased storage facility.
4. You can dismantle it when not required or even move it with you to a new location.
5. Extremely cost-effective solution for storage issues.

Here is why you should use Rack-supported Mezzanines
 
A cost-effective solution

It is an excellent economical alternative to a structural steel mezzanine system. Heavy-duty systems require fewer columns than rack-supported mezzanines and are more versatile, but they are pricey.

You can build a rack-supported mezzanine without making any expensive renovations.

Increase your storage footprint

Vertical space is most often left unused. 

These types of mezzanines help to utilize the space present above the racking. There is usually no need for footings if you want to construct multiple levels.

The top tier can be used as extra storage or a modular office space. 

No need to relocate or rebuild

Rebuilding or relocating for the growth of your business would require spending much money. 

Organize better

These mezzanines can efficiently store materials that are easily accessible at the same time. It is also possible to have multiple pallet loading and unloading locations for smooth operations.

Customize it as you need

You can now design a system that fulfills the exact requirements of your business. 

What's more, it is easy to install a rack-supported mezzanine floor, as easy as it is to uninstall when not required!

An Excellent investment!

This mezzanine system requires very little investment compared to what you will have to spend on new construction. There is no need to change the overall design of your warehouse, as space is created using the existing pallet racking system.

The rack-supported mezzanine can help extend your warehouse's storage capacity by affordably optimizing your existing space.
