Mezzanines

A warehouse mezzanine is an ideal, economical solution for freeing up floor space while providing expanded storage capacity by clearing vertical spans up to 40 feet and load capacities up to 1,000 pounds per square foot. Eliminate the expense of moving to a new facility or leasing additional space by adding a free standing mezzanine – move UP, not out! Whether your needs are 100 or 25,000 square feet of vertical space, Bluff Manufacturing can build a steel mezzanine custom-designed for your facility and production requirements, and in compliance with OSHA and International Building Code Standards (IBCS).

Like all Bluff Manufacturing’s products, the use of industrial mezzanines facilitate an increase of operational efficiency, space utilization and safety. These state-of-the-art free standing warehouse platforms can be used in many applications:

  • In-plant offices, observation platforms and personnel breakrooms
  • Open areas for processing, assembly or storage
  • Conveyor support structures
  • Multi-level shelving units up to four levels high
  • Multi-level carousel picking systems
  • Multi-level carton flow systems

Cost Efficiency Through Value Engineering

Whether your expanding space requirements include the need for raised office venue, material/record storage, stockrooms, assembly and distribution systems, warehouse platforms or conveyor support systems, our steel mezzanine structures are designed and built to actively respond to those unique demands in your existing facility. From standard space provision to extreme point loading or excessively wide clearance requirements, our flexibility in design allows targeted optimization of your space with value engineering.

  • Non-welded bolt connections and flexibility of design allow for future modifications, relocation and/or expansion and potential reconfiguration
  • Equipment and machinery mounting options available; multi-tiered integration of existing structures
  • Maximization of vertical clearance for exceptional under-mezzanine space utilization
  • High quality design and standardization of components keep installation costs down
  • Built to last and backed with a lifetime structural warranty

Superior Design Options to Suit Your Needs

Our work is performed with the highest level of professionalism and constant attention to safety and structural integrity. Our designers will select the most efficient combination of hot-rolled structural steel (ASTM-A36 and ASTM-A50), high strength cold formed sections, structural tubes (ASTM-A500), and steel bar joists in order to provide a warehouse mezzanine that is safe and cost-effective. We use a variety of standardized shapes and sizes of materials which minimizes the need for custom fabrication. All components are assembled by certified welders. The entire production process is done in Bluff Manufacturing’s Fort Worth, Texas, headquarters and each warehouse mezzanine is shipped directly to the customer via approved contract haulers. Our bolted construction and detailed instructions makes assembly simple and fast; in addition, each free standing mezzanine is designed to be dismantled and reassembled in a different location or configuration.

Your local distributor will survey your needs and help determine the correct size and optimal combination of structural and formed components needed.
