Do you own a busy warehouse? Are you running out of usable space, causing a negative impact on your productivity? In this article we discover 5 ways a warehouse mezzanine floor can greatly enhance your workspace without requiring you to move premises:
Maximise Your Warehouse Space
Although you may think you’re utilising all the warehouse space, it’s often possible to enhance the space further. For example, in many warehouses, there’s a gap between the top of the inventory and the ceiling, a space that could be used more efficiently.
By installing a mezzanine floor, you can potentially double your space. Extra space allows you to increase operational efficiency and plan for potential long-term expansion. Mezzanine floors can enable you to increase storage capacity, add additional machinery, create extra office space, and more…
In short, added space could have a substantial impact on the operations of your business, helping you avoid moving premises and optimise the performance of your facilities.
Gain Extra Storage Space
The obvious use of a mezzanine floor is to provide extra space for stock management and handling. This may be done without affecting operations below when it’s built and planned correctly. Storage Mezzanines can allow your business to grow while allowing you to cope with the current level of business more efficiently.
Gain Extra Office Space
Have you considered how cost-effective it would be for your business to house its back-office operations in the same building as its warehouse operations? Irrespective of whether it is a staff break-out area, toilets, offices, or meeting rooms, it’s critical to separate these areas into a quiet, safe space away from operations. These areas can transform your productivity and even enhance employee well-being.
Improve Efficiency
A mezzanine floor can double your warehouse’s capacity, reducing the hassle, cost, and time involved in moving while increasing output and therefore turnover. Mezzanine floors are durable custom made solid flooring solutions that can be made to match your long term goals and immediate needs. For example, by adding these additional levels to your building, you create space to allow your business to hire more employees and create more production lines. You can also cope with fluctuating customer demands without running into problems with health and safety regulations.
Enhance Your Working Processes
Mezzanine floors allow you to be flexible enough to adapt to changes in demand. Businesses often abandon protocols when demand surges unexpectedly. As a result, offices can be crammed with inventory and staff, limiting their ability to work safely and efficiently.
