Industrial Mezzanine Floors

An industrial mezzanine floor is a free standing internal floor designed to cope with even greater loads and heavier use than regular mezzanines. Ideal for manufacturing, commercial, or other industrial organisations, as with any mezzanine help extract the maximum return on investment from your existing warehouse, using the height of the unit to increase storage, fabrication or admin/office space, and all with minimal (or even zero) disruption and downtime.

The same can’t be said of a warehouse relocation!

There are three main types of mezzanine floor commonly found in the UK. These are as follows…

• Industrial mezzanine floors – Heavy duty, seriously robust structures designed to be used in heavy commercial, industrial, or other manufacturing/fabrication settings. They can also be found in many retail and leisure environments.
• Office mezzanine floors – These provide useful additional office space for administrative staff, located conveniently above your existing ground floor operations.
• Multi-tier mezzanine floors – Perfect for warehouses with extremely high ceilings, these help guarantee maximum storage density by making using of the vertical space within a facility.

Absolutely. As a family business built on family values, we’re focused on value and customer service rather than our bottom line. We love working with companies with a lower budget – or those who simply don’t see the need to invest in brand new equipment – and offer a range of great value and pre-owned shelving, pallet racking and even mezzanine floors to suit almost all budgets.

The answer to this question depends in part upon how much additional storage space you need, and what you’re looking to do with all of that extra space.

If your products are non-palletised and you’re already using all of your available floorspace for shelving, either a multi-tier shelving system or a mezzanine floor (with additional shelving on top) could be the way forward. If you keep all of your products on pallets, however, then either a narrow aisle or a drive in / drive through pallet racking system might be ideal.

Whatever storage challenge you’re facing, we’re here to help. With over 30 years of industrial storage experience, we’ll be able to assess your unit and your requirements before recommending the best value and most appropriate solution for your business.

Quickly! We understand that, for our clients, time is money. And lost time and productivity means both revenue and profit are taking a hit.

Not only do these offer exceptional value for money, they’re also available almost immediately.

Yes, absolutely. There are a number of options here, depending upon the nature of your inventory, your target storage density or pallet count, the height of your warehouse and more!

If you stock non-palletised items then industrial shelving could be perfect thanks to its ability to be configured into any number of of layouts.

If you hold palletised items, however, we can design and supply a bespoke pallet racking system specifically designed around your unit’s unique layout.

If you have limited floor space but need to add additional storage or office/display space, it may be possible to install a mezzanine floor that will sit directly above your ground floor, and all without disrupting your existing operations. No matter how unusual your unit’s floorplan, we can help you get the most out of it.

Absolutely. Just because a mezzanine floor is in one position or structure, doesn’t mean it can’t be moved. Mezzanines can be dismantled and moved (albeit with great care) if you wanted to move to a new facility and take the floor with you. If that’s something you’re interested in, please get in touch. We can then assess your mezzanine and your new warehouse before carefully dismantling, relocating an installing your floor. Typically, mezzanine floors are not fixed structures so they can be moved at any time.

It’s very unlikely that you’ll need planning permission to build a mezzanine floor. That said, you may need to get building regulations approval from your local council (if required). Reasons for this could include…

• If the mezzanine is being used for office space or work purposes
• If the mezzanine covers any areas that require planning permission
• If the mezzanine will involve external alterations to your building
• If it’s going to be used for office or retail usage of over 200 sqm
