An industrial mezzanine is a heavy-duty industrial platform that is an ideal solution for creating more warehouse floor space. The industrial mezzanine’s structure creates a work station or storage area above and below it.

If you are considering an on-site visit with a storage & handling specialist regarding an industrial mezzanine, prep for your meeting with these 10 key questions.

Industrial Mezzanine Considerations

  • What is the purpose of the mezzanine? (i.e. storage, office space, work station, restricted area)
  • How high are your ceilings?
  • How much clearance do you need, both above and below the structure?
  • What building limits must you consider? (i.e. sprinkler lines, electrical fixtures)
  • How much weight will be placed on the mezzanine?
  • How will product get to the top of the mezzanine? (i.e. stairway, forklift)
  • What are the local fire code requirements? (i.e. sprinkler systems, ceiling clearance)
  • Can the structure meet federal law requirements? (i.e. stairway, handrail)
  • Does your mezzanine require customization?
  • Will you require installation of the mezzanine?
