    Mezzanine Case Studies



    Mezzanine systems add a second or third level inside a facility, thereby doubling or tripling the existing space. Typically, mezzanines are used to create new production, office, storage or assembly space, locker rooms, parts departments, stockrooms, cafeterias, stockrooms, company records storage and work platforms. Mezzanine systems can be installed inside manufacturing and processing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, retail stores, office buildings, industrial plants, hospitals, automotive dealerships, universities, government facilities and more.
    Mezzanines allow you to gain the space you need without building a new facility or expanding outward. Think of a mezzanine as the solution that helps you expand within. They can be installed inside any facility that has a ceiling height greater than 15 feet. If you have more than 30 feet of overhead space, a multi-level mezzanine can be built to meet your exact area and height requirements.

    Advantages of Mezzanine Systems:
    • Help maximize existing plant space.
    • Create more square footage without expanding your facility.
    • Double or triple the existing space inside your facility.
    • Accommodate lighting, sprinkler pipe, HVAC ducts, electrical and computer conduit.
    • Can be designed to meet your exact space requirements.
    • Can be modified to meet future growth needs and planned expansion.
    • Improve inventory management & control.
    • Can be customized to fit around existing equipment, building columns and other obstructions – even around angled and curved walls.
    • Often incorporate wide spans & unique column spacing to free up valuable floor space.
    • Available in shelving supported, full mat and freestanding designs.
    • Integrate with shelving, rack, vertical lifts, carousels, flow rack, in-plant offices, conveyors, more.
    • Can be disassembled and moved to another location.



    Often times, a mezzanine system provides the best space adding solution – especially when compared to new construction or leased space. Mezzanines save additional energy costs (heat, air conditioning, electricity), save land acquisition costs, save property taxes and insurance premiums and qualify for accelerated tax depreciation (one-time investment).

    If you need more space, a mezzanine system might be your best solution. Contact W.E. Carlson at 847.640.0011 for more information and a complete evaluation of your application needs.
