Heavy-Duty Steel Pallet Racks for Industrial Warehouse Mezzanine Floor
A mezzanine shelf is a shelving system that creates double or multi - tier storage platforms using the upper space in a warehouse. Its main role is to enhance storage capacity by "using vertical space" without increasing the warehouse's ground area, so it's suitable for situations with high ceilings and a wide variety of goods.

Applicable Scenarios and Goods Types
Mezzanine shelves have strong adaptability, and are especially suitable for the following scenarios and goods:
Warehouse Conditions: Warehouses with a floor height of ≥ 4.5 meters (optimal floor height: 5-8 meters) and a floor load-bearing capacity of ≥ 1.5 tons/㎡, such as e-commerce warehouses, electronic parts warehouses, and light industrial finished product warehouses.
Goods Types: Mainly small and medium-light goods, such as daily necessities in cartons, parts boxes, small household appliances, and clothing. The lower floor can be matched with beam racks to store large palletized goods, realizing "separation of heavy and light goods, and complementarity between upper and lower floors".
Operation Needs: Suitable for scenarios involving multi-category, small-batch storage and manual split-picking operations, such as SKU management for e-commerce platforms and stock-up warehouses for retail stores.
Core Advantages and Considerations
1. Core Advantages
Doubled Space Utilization: By building 2-3 layers of mezzanines, the warehouse's storage area can be increased by 80%-120%, avoiding waste of overhead space and reducing unit storage costs.
Clear Functional Zoning: Upper and lower floors can be divided into different functional areas. For example, the lower floor can be used for temporary storage of incoming goods and storage of large items, while the upper floor can be used for long-term storage and split-picking. This reduces cross-transportation of goods and improves operation efficiency.
High Flexibility: The floor height, panel material, and area division can all be customized. In the later stage, the height of the laminates can be adjusted or the number of floors can be increased (in compliance with the warehouse's load-bearing standards) according to business changes.
2. Considerations
Floor Height Limitation: If the warehouse floor height is less than 4.5 meters, the space on the upper and lower floors will be too cramped after building the mezzanine, affecting operation comfort and goods access. Thus, it is not recommended to use mezzanine shelves in such cases.
Compliance with Load-bearing Requirements: The warehouse floor's load-bearing capacity must be confirmed in advance to avoid floor collapse due to excessive weight of goods on the upper floor. After the shelves are installed, a load-bearing test must be conducted, and overloading is strictly prohibited.
Fire Protection Requirements: Sufficient fire-fighting accesses and sprinkler nozzles must be reserved in the mezzanine area to comply with local fire protection regulations, and safety hazards caused by blocking fire-fighting facilities must be avoided.
If you have the specific dimensions of the warehouse (length, width, height) and parameters of the main goods to be stored (weight, packaging type), I can help you sort out a customized mezzanine shelf solution list, including key information such as the recommended number of floors, load-bearing design, and panel selection, to facilitate your quotation negotiation with suppliers.
