A platform mezzanine is a steel platform, or a series of steel platforms, that can be installed inside a commercial, industrial, or warehouse space. Most of these spaces have very high ceilings, and the platform allows you to create a new level or floor in spaces with these high ceilings.

This allows you to maximize the square footage in your building and create more usable space. Here are some of the different ways you can use the space you create utilizing a platform mezzanine.

To Increase Workspace

One of the ways that you can use the space that a platform mezzanine adds to your space is as a usable workspace. The platforms are made of steel and can support thousands of pounds of weight at any given time. This allows you to use the space as a workspace. This can help you increase the usable workspace you have in your building by as much as 50%.

To Create More Storage Space

If you have a warehouse, you may come to find that inventory comes and goes from your warehouse in waves. You may have more inventory on hand as you gear up to ship products out for the holidays, and in turn, this may cause you to need more storage space. A platform mezzanine gives you the ability to add either temporary or permanent storage space to your building, ensuring there is a place for everything.

To Enhance Your Space To Benefit Employees

Retaining employees is currently more important than ever before. There is a worker shortage, and finding qualified and skilled employees can be tough. As such, many employers are looking for changes that they can make to their buildings to benefit their employees.

Installing platform mezzanines allows you to create space that can benefit your employees. You can turn the space into pumping rooms for new moms, a lunch space or break room for your employees, or even a small gym.

To Add Office Space in Your Industrial or Commercial Area

Lastly, you may be looking to add a few office cubicles to your commercial or industrial space. But, you may want to keep these cubicles away from the loud machinery on the working floor of your building. A platform mezzanine creates an elevated space where you can create office cubicles for supervisors, human resource professionals, or your sales staff.

As your business grows or expands, you may find that you need a bit more space than your current industrial, commercial, or warehouse space provides. If your building has high ceilings, you can take advantage of your vertical space by using a platform mezzanine to essentially create another floor or level in your building, creating more space.

This can be used to increase your workspace, create more storage space, to provide your employees with beneficial spaces, or add office spaces inside your building. There are many different ways to use the extra space that a platform mezzanine can help to create in your building.
