Cold Rolled Steel Mezzanines
Cold roll steel mezzanines are an efficient, budget-conscious solution for facilities needing elevated floor space without the heavy infrastructure of structural steel systems. By using cold-formed C-channel beams, these mezzanines are easier to ship, install, and maintain—making them ideal for light-duty applications where fast, economical installation is a top priority.
Key Benefits:
🔺 Lightweight design reduces shipping and equipment costs
🔺 Ideal for environments with moderate load requirements
🔺 Pre-galvanized options for corrosion resistance and cost savings
🔺 Bolt-together installation for quick onsite assembly
🔺 Custom layouts available for tight or irregular spaces
Features & Options
Cold roll mezzanines are formed from bent sheet metal into a C-channel configuration, offering a lighter and more adaptable alternative to hot rolled steel. These systems connect to tubular or tapered steel columns to form a rigid yet agile mezzanine structure.
Standard Features:
🔺 Prefabricated bolt-together framing system
🔺 Pre-galvanized or powder-coated steel components
🔺 Custom prefabricated stairs, ladders, and ships ladders
🔺 OSHA and IBC compliant handrails with 4" kickplates
🔺 Heavy-duty columns and baseplates for dependable support
Custom Options:
🔺 Tailored dimensions and configurations for various footprint sizes
🔺 Flooring options including bar grating, diamond plate, and resin deck
🔺 Integration with existing racking or conveyor systems
Benefits of Cold Roll Steel Mezzanine
Cold roll mezzanines offer practical advantages for warehouses, factories, and distribution centers looking for a smart use of vertical space without heavy structural loads. While cold-formed systems are limited in span and load-bearing compared to hot rolled steel, they excel in environments where budget and installation efficiency matter most.
What’s in it for you?
🔺 Cost-effective way to expand usable space
🔺 Faster lead times and simplified installation
🔺 Great for storage, light assembly, or access platforms
🔺 Pre-finished components reduce on-site labor
🔺 Flexible designs to fit evolving facility layouts
Applications of Cold Roll Mezzanines
🔺 Storage & Warehousing – Add lightweight storage capacity above work areas or in unused vertical space.
🔺 Manufacturing Facilities – Create elevated work platforms or equipment access in light production environments.
🔺 Distribution Centers – Expand packing, sorting, or staging areas while maintaining efficient floor-level operations.
🔺 Retail Backrooms – Utilize vertical space for inventory management or staff-only storage.
🔺 Maintenance Areas – Build cold roll mezzanine platforms for light machinery access or spare parts organization.
Cold roll steel mezzanines are a great fit for operations weighing cost-efficiency vs. structural capacity, offering a clear advantage in environments where heavy live loads aren’t required.
Compare Cold vs. Hot Rolled Steel
Understanding the difference between hot vs cold rolled steel helps determine the right mezzanine for your needs:
-
Cold Rolled Steel – Lightweight, easy to install, pre-galvanized, cost-effective. Best for light-duty use.
-
Hot Rolled Steel – Heavier, stronger, supports higher live loads and spans. Ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications.

FAQs: Prefabricated Substation Buildings
Q: What is the load capacity of a cold rolled mezzanine?
A: Cold roll systems are typically used for lighter loads—up to 125 psf—making them ideal for light storage and access.
Q: Can a cold rolled mezzanine be relocated?
A: Yes. These mezzanines are semi-permanent and can be disassembled and moved as needed.
Q: Is cold rolled steel rust-resistant?
A: Cold roll mezzanines can be pre-galvanized or powder coated to improve corrosion resistance.
Q: How does a cold roll mezzanine compare in cost?
A: They are generally more affordable due to lighter materials, easier installation, and reduced shipping costs.
Q: How quickly can a cold roll mezzanine be installed?
A: Thanks to prefabricated components and bolt-together design, most installations are completed in a few days.
