Mezzanine floors

Mezzanine floors: simple space expansion for your warehouse

How can storage platforms / mezzanine floors efficiently expand your storage space?

If your storage space is limited and your room height is at least 4.5 meters, storage platforms are an ideal solution. They expand the available space efficiently and do not require any major conversions. This creates additional practical storage space, for example for a small parts warehouse (e.g. with inclined shelving and open fronted storage bins for a quick overview) and combined with hall offices, storage platforms create additional work areas that are much quieter and protected from possible dust or odours, but still central. The elevated position of this newly created workstation on a warehouse platform means that you always have an overview of what is happening in the hall and make optimum use of the available space in the warehouse or production hall.

What other advantages does a storage platform offer - also in terms of sustainability?

Simple installation: Despite their size and complexity, TOPREGAL mezzanine floors can be installed relatively quickly, often within just a few days, resulting in minimal disruption to operations.

Cost savings: By utilizing existing space at height rather than building new space, companies can save significantly on the cost of warehouse expansions. This makes mezzanines a cost-effective solution for growing storage needs.

Environmentally friendly: By making more efficient use of existing space, mezzanine floors help to reduce the need for new building space, which in turn can reduce a company's environmental footprint.

What regulations and safety requirements apply to mezzanines?

The installation of a storage platform is subject to strict regulations. Important regulations relate to statics, fire protection and occupational safety.

Particularly relevant for fall protection and employee protection in Germany is the German DGUV Rule 108-007. The requirements for railings and industrial stairs are also clearly defined. For example, railings must be at least 1,000 mm high and have a knee rail at a maximum distance of 500 mm from the handrail. Stairs must be equipped in accordance with the German DGUV 208-005.

How can you configure storage platforms individually?

At TOPREGAL, you can customize storage platforms to suit your individual needs. The standard modules can be configured according to your wishes to fit perfectly into your premises. The main beams are bolted to the uprights using connecting plates, while the secondary beams are attached to the main beams, which ensures optimum load distribution. This also makes it easy to relocate at a later date, as the elements can be easily detached again for an extension or relocation.

How does the online planner for customised mezzanine floors work?

With the simple online planner, you can easily create the mezzanine floor for your warehouse that is adapted to your circumstances. Simply select the base area, the most common shape is rectangular, but L-shaped and U-shaped are also possible. Then select the desired floor covering (grating, checker plate or chipboard) and add optional equipment. Pay attention to the load per square meter (250 to 1,000 kg) and the required minimum height of the lower edge of 2,100 mm. Once we have received the inquiry form resulting from the planner, we will contact you to implement your requirements.

What extensions and accessories are available for storage platforms?

If required, add a staircase to your storage platform for easy access to the newly created second level. Optionally, you can add a reception platform or a transfer station for convenient goods transportation using a forklift truck integrated. Our expertise and tailor-made solutions ensure that your storage platform meets the highest requirements.
