Warehouse Mezzanines

Put all of your warehouse space to work

A mezzanine is an excellent way to save money on expanding or relocating a premises. Understanding the true potential of a vertical space enables a new company to consider a smaller warehouse facility and an established operation to make the most out of their existing premises.

Our service is as responsive as you need it to be; taking full control of the project, its health and safety considerations and the appointment of sub-contractors to ensure a turnkey delivery.

Our initial survey and consultation will recommend a plan for improving your operational space, advising upon such considerations as whether you can use a single or multi-tier mezzanine, whether you have room for the addition of a private office space, available access routes, floor loading calculations and so on.

Single & multi-tier mezzanine floors

Depending on the vertical space in your warehouse you may be able to install a multi-tier mezzanine.

Factors to consider for your mezzanine

What will it accommodate?

Pallets? Products? An office or additional workspace? A packing area? This will determine the load bearing calculations.

How do you want to access it?

On foot via staircases is the standard method. We can also install goods lifts and passenger lifts too. Pallet gates are an option to allow goods to be safely move on/off the floor.

Future proofing?

If your mezzanine is for storage how much space do you need now and how much might you need in the future? Our floors are easily extended to over time.

Will there be shelving?

We need to know the amount of shelving you need so that we can calculate the point loads on the mezzanine, ideally ensuring that shelving legs sit directly onto purlins for maximum durability.

Will it be for pallet storage?

This will help us ensure the correct pallet gate for loading and unloading, as well as the overall load bearing capacity.

Is it a live working operation?

We can install mezzanines into live working operations – it just takes extra co-ordination!

Is your warehouse concrete floor slab suitable?

For mezzanines that will store or handle heavy goods, the concrete flooring of your warehouse may need to be reinforced. We can organise a core sample test to confirm.

Staircases & Fire protection

As well as the obvious access requirement, distance to a fire escape also affects how many staircases you need. On all our installations we offer 60min fire protection rating where needed.

Electrics & fire alarm systems

You’ll need lighting from above and below, the type will be determined by usage. A suspended ceiling grid is the most popular option. With smoke detectors and alarms for safety and to comply with building regulations.

Building Regs

All mezzanine floors need to be approved by building regulations. Many things need to be considered including the size of the floor, number of staircases, travel distances to fire exits, fire-rating, smoke detection, weight loading and slab capacity. When further fit out works are being included in the project things like ventilation, lighting levels and disabled access all need to be considered, designed and approved. Oracle Storage work directly with Approved Building Regulation Inspectors to check your project will be approved, we organise everything from initial consultation through to sign-off.

Fire Rating

Depending on the size and/or usage of a mezzanine floor they may need to be fire-rated. We offer fire-rating as part of our turn-key solution. The standard solution is a 60min fire rated suspended 600x600 ceiling, fire rated column casings and fascia to project any exposed edges of the floor. Other options include fire-rated plasterboard ceilings, casings and fascia.

As part of our fit out service we can provide lighting, power and data to your new mezzanine or entire warehouse facility.

Lighting - below a mezzanine are often utilise 600x600 LED panels that seamlessly integrate into the fire rated suspended ceiling, this includes emergency lighting and escape signage. For other areas of your warehouse including pallet racking aisles, High-Bay LED lights are often used being both compliant and economical to run.

Power – From adding a few sockets to installing new distribution boards and wiring an entire warehouse, let us help you plan your power requirements.

Data – From adding additional data points to cabling your entire warehouse/office. We can supply just to terminated patch panels into existing cabinets or a new cabinet.

HVAC

When creating new enclosed work areas ventilation is critical and often a requirement to pass building regulations. We can provide ventilation, air conditioning, heating and warehouse gas heating systems.

Pallet Gates

We offer a wide range of pallet gates to enable you to safely move goods onto your new mezzanine.

Goods Lift

To safely move goods onto your floor a mezzanine floor goods lift can be the ideal solution as anyone can move goods and you’re not limited to only forklift operators. Ideal for distribution centres goods lifts enable increased picking/shipping rates.
