What is Steel Mezzanines

Steel mezzanines offer cost-effective solutions to expand your floor space without extensive construction. Using pallet racking as the core framework, we create versatile mezzanine structures for various load-bearing needs.

Each level typically supports up to 500kg, with floor panels bearing 300kg to 1000kg per square meter. The distance between levels ranges from 2.5m to 3m, while top-level pallet racking reaches approximately 2 meters in height, ensuring convenience for personnel and machinery operations. This maximizes your existing storage capacity, saving you costs on labor, land permits, leases, or additional construction materials.

Working Principle of Steel Mezzanines

A steel mezzanine is a platform that is positioned between the main floor and ceiling of your factory. Also, it does not take up a huge space in your warehouse or factory. Therefore, once the structure is erect, it makes a new flooring level. As a result of this newly-created vertical space, you get the opportunity to store more stock in a less messy and more organized way.

FAQ

How do you support a mezzanine in the best way?

Using accessories to support a mezzanine are C-sections, girder joists, beams, and bar joists. These three are the best mezzanine frames you should consider.

Is the slab good enough to support a mezzanine?

We can assist your engineer in figuring out whether your current slab is capable of supporting your mezzanine or if you will need new footings.

What is the minimum clear height for a steel mezzanine?

The ideal and minimum clear height from the mezzanine to the ceiling and below the mezzanine to the primary floor should be at least 7ft.

What different varieties of steel are used in steel mezzanines?

When opting for steel mezzanines, you will generally find three variations in the quality of steel.

1. Cold-Rolled Steel Mezzanines
These are lightweight mezzanines compared to structural solutions. However, the lightweight does not mean they have a weak load-bearing or storage capacity. The cold-rolled mezzanines come with a smoother finish, which is best for stock monitoring.
2. Structural Steel Mezzanines
Structural steel mezzanine is the most cost-friendly type and generally heavier than the other solutions. What makes the structural mezzanine different is the use of tubular and joint columns with I-beams for ideal support.
3. Stainless Steel Mezzanines
If you’re looking for a corrosion-resistant solution, you can choose the steel structure mezzanine. These mezzanines are widely used in food processing facilities and are highly expensive.

Which floor types are available for steel mezzanine
  • Bar Grating Decking: Perfect for facilities that adhere to stringent guidelines for lighting, ventilation, and fire safety. ·
  • Diamond Plate Decking: An enduring choice for mezzanine flooring, often utilized for mezzanine entrances. ·
  • B Decking: Also known as corrugated steel and roof decks, these are constructed from robust yet lightweight materials, making them a common choice for mezzanine sub-flooring.
  • Plywood Decking: If you want smooth flooring to move your wheeled machinery and pallet jacks on the mezzanine flooring, then plywood decking is a great reasonable option.
  • Metal Plank Decking: Constructed from galvanized materials, the metal plank decks are mostly utilized for outdoor facilities or mezzanines that store wet or frozen items. This deck allows the passage of air, light, and water.

What should be considered when using mezzanine shelving?

Avoid Overloading: Each mezzanine shelving unit has a maximum load capacity, and it is crucial to avoid exceeding this limit to ensure the safety of the mezzanine shelving system.

Evenly Distribute Goods: Whenever possible, distribute goods evenly throughout the entire area of the shelving. Heavier items should be placed on lower levels, while lighter items can be placed on higher levels. This prevents the center of gravity from shifting upward, thereby enhancing the overall safety of the shelving.

Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the shelving for loose or missing components and address any issues promptly.

Fire Safety: Ensure that the shelving does not obstruct fire evacuation routes. Additionally, consider the combustibility of stored goods and choose appropriate fire-resistant materials or coatings.

Do you have quality certifications?

All our products undergo quality monitoring and inspections at each stage of the production process. We use CNC punching and shearing machines for material processing to ensure dimensional accuracy and product quality. Our production process includes intelligent welding and surface treatments such as shot blasting, rust removal, phosphating, cleaning, and powder coating, with a layer thickness of up to 60-80 micrometers, ensuring high quality. We hold ISO9001 certification, environmental system certification, health system certification, and CE certification.

How soon can I receive the shelving?

On average, it takes about 20-25 days. Customized products may require more time.

What warranty or support do you provide for mezzanine shelving?

Depending on your requirements, we offer a one-stop service that includes free consultation, free design drawings, free samples, comprehensive installation services, and professional after-sales support (10-year warranty).

Can I install mezzanine shelving myself?

You can install it following our installation instructions, but we recommend having professional assistance and guidance to ensure a smooth and safe installation process. If needed, we also offer installation services.

What types of goods are suitable for mezzanine shelving?

Mezzanine shelving is suitable for lightweight items with a large storage volume. Examples include automotive parts, light industrial products, electronics, machinery and hardware, pharmaceuticals, clothing, plastic products, and more.

What is the importance of a stairway in metal mezzanine systems?

Metal stairways give you easy access to your mezzanine system. Depending on your floor distance, you can install mezzanine stairs in 8 to 15 steps and even more. OKE Storage designs high-quality stairways that meet BOCA, IBC, and OSHA safety regulations. Our company uses the “mill first” steel to manufacture staircases under the supervision of expert engineers and qualified welders. Our stairways have the following traits:

  • KD bolted design
  • 8-inch stair stringers
  • 1.5 inches of welded handrails
  • Diamond-plated 11-inch stair treads and closed risers
  • 36-inch handrails and 42-inch guardrails adhering to IBC standards
