Work Platform Applications

Work Platform

Mezzanine work platforms are an elevated space within a facility where personnel can accomplish their designated tasks such as assembly, packaging, and order fulfillment.

Storage Deck

A storage deck can be used to securely store important documents and records, extra inventory and supplies and seasonal products.

In-Plant Offices

In-plant offices are an excellent way to achieve additional office space without compromising the manufacturing or production area. They can be enclosed and insulated and still be a more cost-effective alternative to a construction project.

Maintenance Area

Having a dedicated maintenance area to do work and securely store tools can be extremely helpful to an organization.

Equipment Access

Warehouses and distribution centers often have machinery and equipment that is large and cannot be easily accessed for daily production needs and routine maintenance. Mezzanines allow maintenance crews to get close enough to the machinery to make repairs.

Catwalks

Catwalks provide a safe and efficient pedestrian walkway for personnel to move from point A to point B.

Rack/Shelving/Pick Modules

Companies that are looking to maximize the potential of their storage/inventory area install mezzanines to gain more floor space.

Observation Deck

Mezzanines enable companies to watch, evaluate and improve a facility’s processes and performance, critical to an organization’s well-being.

Conveyor Support Platforms

Many new companies fail to realize how much floor space a new conveyor system takes up and mezzanines are perfect for adding square footage without taking away valuable floor space.
