4 Effective Elements to Add to Your Mezzanine

The following elements can significantly increase efficiency and safety for your mezzanine:

1. Conveyors

Incorporating incline conveyors into a mezzanine system can be the ideal option for warehouses that need to move products between the ground and mezzanine level continuously. Incline conveyors are easy to operate and can be secured to the ground for either manual or automated loading. This allows you to enhance productivity without compromising employee safety.

2. Safety Barriers

Since all high-level platforms are legally required to have handrails or barriers to prevent workers from falling, it is important to determine which type of safety barrier will work best for your particular warehouse. In most cases, a simple handrail system will be able to provide sufficient safety for workers, but it is crucial to work with a professional to ensure that you are complying with all applicable regulations.

3. Staircases

Adding multiple staircases to your mezzanine floor can make it much easier for workers to access the space. In some cases, depending on the layout and use of the mezzanine, you may be required to incorporate stairs into the design. It is always a good idea to check with your mezzanine provider beforehand to ensure that your mezzanine will be up to code.

4. Loading Gates

Mezzanine loading gates are crucial for mezzanines that will require materials and products to be lifted up to them via forklift. These gates allow for easy placement and retrieval of pallets as needed without compromising safety as each unit can be easily opened or closed as needed. With several options available for mezzanine loading gates, you can choose the perfect option for your needs, preferences, and budget.
