If you run a warehouse, you need to keep your stock in order. You might be tempted to use a mezzanine floor as the foundation of your storage solution. While mezzanine storage is usually an excellent choice, there are also some important considerations that you need to think about before making your final decision.
Extra Storage Space
A mezzanine floor can be a great way to add extra storage space to your warehouse. A mezzanine storage floor is a raised level that has been built onto the existing structure, giving you more room and allowing you to store more items within the same footprint.
Their versatility makes them an attractive option for warehouses of all sizes, but especially those who want to increase their capacity without having to expand their building.
They’re also popular because they can be used both as storage areas and walkways inside the warehouse, depending on what works best for the specific layout of each business’s property.
Customisable
If you can't find a mezzanine floor that fits your exact requirements, then we will work with you to create a custom-made mezzanine floor that is exactly what you need.
This means that there is no need to try and make something fit into your warehouse storage capacity if it doesn’t work. You can choose the size and shape of the mezzanine floor as well as the type of access stairway or lift system for employees or customers.
Proper organisation
Organising your warehouse is important, but so many people struggle to do it effectively. A mezzanine floor can help you organise your warehouse in a way that works for you.
If you have an open plan warehouse, or if you don't have many storage solutions available to you, it's likely that your employees are going to have trouble finding things when they need them and they're just going to resort to randomly throwing boxes in the corner somewhere.
This can lead to lost inventory and mis-placed items which is never good!
If, however, you use a mezzanine floor system then this problem becomes much easier because all of the products are now on shelves instead of being scattered around everywhere.
Your staff can find what they want quickly and easily without having any issues with locating necessary items within their reach at all times during work hours (or whenever else).
Works With Your Existing Facilities
When you’re trying to store inventory or materials in your warehouse and you need more space, a mezzanine storage will help. A mezzanine floor can be added to an existing structure in order to expand the amount of storage space that you have available.
This means that even if your existing facility is already built and complete with everything that it needs, adding a mezzanine floor will still provide additional room for storing items and materials without having to build an entirely new facility.
Conclusion
The fact is, you will never know how much of a difference having a mezzanine floor can make to your business until you try it. So why not give it a go?
We think the benefits are clear and we hope that if you’re still on the fence about getting one installed in your warehouse mezzanine or factory then this article has helped convince you that they’re worth looking into further.
