Mezzanines
Mezzanine structures allow you to use existing overhead space, thus gaining valuable floor space without any new construction to the building. Mezzanine construction is much more cost effective and much less time consuming than new construction with minimal interruption to your current working areas. Mezzanines are also modular so they can be reconfigured to accommodate future growth. Mezzanines are built to include the appropriate amount of stairs, guards, railing and landings to meet current building codes as well as many available options such as lighting, fire protection, pallet/carton/tote elevators, fork lift swing or sliding gates and types of decking to name a few. Heavy duty columns and support beams are incorporated into the design to provide a rigid mezzanine structure while eliminating as much obstruction below the mezzanine. This allows the end user to maintain the maximum amount of working area below the mezzanine footprint.
Bastian offers mezzanine designs to fit every application. In addition to increasing available square footage, mezzanines are built to provide additional vertical storage, support conveyor systems or order picking/processing areas.
