Mezzanine
VERTICAL SPACE EFFICIENCY
EXPAND UP, NOT OUT
Mezzanine usually consists of upright, beam, shelves, deck, handrail and stair etc. Additional storage floors can be cooperated into the rack with walkway to allow pedestrian access for picking. This maximizes all available headroom and is ideal for storing a wide variety of packaged goods for hand picking. It is the ideal solution for the utilizing of warehouses height and space, also can accommodate sophisticated automated picking systems.
Mezzanine systems are widely acceptable by automobile and logistics industry.
Main Parts!
Pallar Pieces
The two columns are connected bythe horizontal braceand diagonal brace with nylon self-locking bolts. can effectively prevent the instability,rush on columns with double row strip holes, hole pitch 75 mm or 50 mm, so the beam articulated on the columns can be 50 mm /75 mm up and down for the unit adjust the height of each layer. The vertical column cross section consists of 7 planes, the technology of “automatic punching and cold bending forming” has completely avoided the failure of the vertical column due to the stress concentration of the column.
Plate
Adopt the most popular strip plate in the world, with strong bearing capacity, wear resistance, easy replacement and low
maintenance cost.
Beams
Welded together by two column CARDS and beams, the beam pole adopts the special cold-roiing p-type closed beam, which is characterized by simple reliability, light weight, strong bearing capacity and low cost. When the column and pllar are connected, they are equipped with special design safety pins toensure that the beams will not fall of after the external forcehit.
Floor Board
By cold-rolled form of decorative pattern plate or plate, it is fixed directly to the floor support beam by drilling the tail nail, without welding seam, avoid welding construction on site, surface galvanizing or spraying can.
Mezzanine Guide
Application: how will you use your mezzanine?
Some mezzanine applications include:
- Storage
- Production
- Equipment positioning and support
- Offices/administrative
- Order picking modules
Location: where in your building will it be?
Mezzanines in corners are common, but sometimes they stand free in the middle of a plant. This helps you understand if the ceiling is high enough in that area, what power runs are needed and how it flows with your facility layout and design.
Facility factors: floor, ceiling, layout, columns
What is your slab floor capacity? The typical floor is 6” thick concrete with 25,000 pounds capacity. When you load a floor with tons of equipment, you must know its capacity. This depends on the thickness of the concrete and how much the soil underneath the slab will compress.
Will your mezzanine be point loaded?
This is a critical question, Point loading is the application of a very heavy load or application of dynamic force on a small area of the mezzanine and must be accounted for in the design process.
What does each column have to bear?
Make sure mezzanine column base plates are correctly sized. The interior columns of the platform will always bear the most weight due to the fact that they support the most square footage. If your slab can support interior column loads, then the exterior columns should not be a challenge. Larger base plates help, but can’t compensate for extremely heavy loads. You may need concrete footings in some instances.
What code compliance applies?
You may be subject to IBC2006, IBC2003, or something else. These variations frequently rely on seismic zone, but not always. Well constructed mezzanines should meet IBC, AISC and ATSM standards. IBC is usually the standard for permitted projects. Be certain your guardrails and stairs meet requirements. If you classify the mezzanine as a work platform (and it’s used as a work area and isn’t publicly accessible) requirements vary.
