Watch: Custom Double Deck Mezzanine for a Food Service Packaging Facility
Video Overview
This video highlights a custom double deck mezzanine designed for a food service packaging manufacturer in Charlotte, North Carolina. Delivered through Industrial Handling Solutions, the structure was engineered to support specialty equipment while maximizing vertical space and improving workflow within the existing facility.
Key Highlights from the Video
In this video, you'll get a closer look at how a custom double deck mezzanine can maximize vertical space while supporting specialized equipment:
- Two Levels of Usable Space: The mezzanine features two elevated platforms, creating additional workspace without expanding the facility's footprint.
- Designed Around Specialty Equipment: Two 5' x 8' openings in the upper deck accommodate production equipment while removable guardrails provide safe, flexible access.
- Compact Stair Design: A switchback stair system minimizes the structure's footprint, preserving valuable floor space below.
- Integrated Under-Mezzanine Lighting: A modular wiring system simplified the installation of seven light fixtures beneath the mezzanine, providing illumination for the workspace below.
- Built for Industrial Performance: Diamond plate decking on the first level, bar grating on the second level, and high-visibility safety railings provide durability for demanding manufacturing environments.
Why Double Deck Mezzanines Make Sense
When facilities need additional production space, equipment platforms, or elevated work areas, a double deck mezzanine makes it possible to take advantage of unused vertical space. Custom layouts can also be designed around existing machinery, allowing equipment and personnel to work together more efficiently.
Because every mezzanine is engineered for the application, features such as equipment openings, specialized decking, lighting, and stair configurations can be incorporated into the design from the start.
