MEZZANINES, PICK TOWERS & CONVEYORS

STRUCTURAL LONG-SPAN MEZZANINES

As your company grows, so does the need for floor space and storage. Installing a Mezzanine in your facility doubles your usable space while taking up minimal space on the factory floor below. At its core, a mezzanine is a raised platform that is installed between the primary floor and ceiling of a building, creating additional floor space with a new level of flooring. By taking advantage of the unused vertical space in your building, companies can quickly and conveniently add storage space, reducing clutter and creating an overall more well-organized facility. By creating extra space and eliminating the need for a new facility, it is truly an amazing economical solution. This clever utilization of vertical space has been a game-changer for numerous industries, from manufacturing plants to distribution centers, where every bit of square footage counts.

MULTI-LEVEL PICK MODULES / TOWERS

Pick modules – it’s where the strategic integration of storage rack, shelving, and conveyor systems come together to maximize warehouse space and enhance order picking performance. Each pick module is customized to the facility layout and business goals. 

Most pick modules include a combination of gravity flow rack and shelving to store product in a way that separates each pick slot but allows storage for several pieces per slot. Order pickers select items from ergonomically positioned levels and place them on conveyors for packing or mobile carts equipped with totes for batch processing.

The makeup of the storage types and configuration in your pick module is based on the number of SKUs, the volume, and the pick rate goals. Your inventory specs will also play a role with larger, heavier weighted items positioned within easy reach to minimize worker strain.

CONVEYORS

Warehouse conveyor systems are the backbone of any automated operation, offering a continuously moving assembly line to quickly complete the processing, sortation, and distribution of a package. Conveyors typically use belts or rollers to automate the movement of cartons or pallets, powered by motors. Each warehouse has a specially engineered layout, consisting of a variety of conveyor sections, depending on function.
