How much weight can a mezzanine hold?
Standard loading for a mezzanine is 125 lbs. per square foot. This would be sufficient to hold a 2000 lbs pallet. Though the flooring choice should also match the capacity and usage needs. The minimum loading is 100 lbs. per square foot. And this would be for office use. Typically for a heavy duty platform, the loading requirement would be, 250 lbs. per sq foot.
Can my existing floor support it?
Yes, 4” of concrete is a minimum. The size of the baseplates on the platform columns and spans between the posts are also factors.
Do I need building permits?
Yes, (though the majority of customers don’t get them.) All of our platforms do come with a P.Eng stamped drawing provided by Sigmond Soudack & Associates.
Can it be designed around our existing machinery?
Yes, our mezzanines are custom built with spans made to suit as required. Site visits and AutoCAD plans are always included.
What fire safety measures are required for a mezzanine/locker/data center/etc ?
