Storage Platforms & Racking.

Use vertical space for organised storage.

A storage platform or rack supported mezzanine floor creates an upper level for stock, shelving, picking or packing. The system is developed from the stock profile, racking layout and goods access.

Create organised warehouse storage above the existing floor with a freestanding platform or rack supported mezzanine system.

How storage platforms and racking can be used

Pallet storage platforms

Create raised storage for pallets or bulk goods, with load and access requirements confirmed during design.

Rack supported floors

Use racking as the support structure for an upper floor, with stock layout and handling needs shaping the new level.

Order picking and packing

Move picking, packing or fulfilment work to a dedicated level and free space below for movement and dispatch.

Long span shelving

Configure long span shelving or small parts storage for stock volumes, picking routes and access between levels.

Goods lift and conveyor access

Coordinate goods lifts, pallet gates or conveyors with the platform layout where they are required.

Spares, parts and archive

Move parts, tools, spares or records to an organised upper level and release ground floor space.

Stock and clear height

Available height, slab information, stock profile and the storage or picking use are recorded for the new level.

Racking configuration

The platform, racking or shelving configuration is developed for the stock and working loads it needs to support.

Picking and goods access

Stairs, gates, lifts, conveyors and picking routes connect stock movement above and below the platform.

Installation zones
