Multi-layer storage: Cantilever mezzanine enable multiple layers of storage in the same space compared to single-layer racks, making them particularly suitable for long, irregular or box loads, thereby increasing overall storage efficiency.
2. High storage flexibility:
Tiered storage: Cantilever mezzanine support tiered storage, and different floors can be flexibly configured according to the nature of goods and access needs. For example, the bottom layer can store goods of larger weight or longer size, while the upper layer is suitable for lighter or smaller goods.
Independent storage unit: The columns of cantilever racks support the partitions of the mezzanine, and the weight of the upper layer acts vertically on the columns of the racks to ensure the stability of the cantilever racks. At the same time, the cantilever rack can also form a group of independent storage units, improving the flexibility of storage.
3. High access efficiency:
Easy access: The cantilever mezzanine design allows easy access to goods. Especially for long and irregular shaped goods, cantilever rack provide good support and positioning functions, so that goods can be easily accessed.
Reduced access time: Through tiered storage and proper layout, cantilever mezzanine can reduce the access time of goods and improve the overall operational efficiency of the warehouse.
4. Strong adaptability:
Custom design: The cantilever mezzanine can be customized according to the specific situation and storage needs of the warehouse. This flexibility allows cantilever mezzanine to adapt to warehouse needs of different sizes and industries.
Multi-field application: Cantilever mezzanine is widely used in machinery manufacturing, building materials supermarkets and other places that need to store long and irregular goods. At the same time, it is also suitable for the classification and preservation of automotive parts, electronic equipment and other enterprise products.
5. Economy and sustainability:
Cost savings: Cantilever mezzanine reduce warehouse operating costs by improving space utilization and access efficiency. At the same time, its customizability and flexibility also reduce unnecessary waste and additional expenses.
Recycling: The cantilever mezzanine can be easily dismantled and reassembled when the warehouse needs to be relocated or renovated, thus achieving recycling and sustainable development of resources.
Application Of Cantilever Mezzanine
The cantilever mezzanine combines the advantages of cantilever racks and mezzanine to meet the storage needs of both long strip goods (such as pipes, plates, aluminum profiles, etc.) and box goods. This combination design enables the warehouse to achieve orderly storage of various types of goods in a limited space, thus greatly improving the utilization rate of the warehouse.
For high-height warehouses with limited warehouse space, cantilever mezzanine can make full use of vertical space and increase storage area by building multi-storey mezzanine. This design approach can not only effectively relieve the pressure on the floor space, but also significantly increase the storage capacity without increasing the warehouse area.
The following factors need to be considered when selecting the appropriate cantilever mezzanine
Include the ground bearing capacity, space size, and height restrictions of the warehouse.
The size, weight, frequency of access and whether special storage conditions (such as temperature and humidity control) are required.
Whether there is a suitable handling equipment (such as forklift, stacker, etc.) and the operation requirements of the equipment.
Select cost-effective pallet rack type and configuration according to the budget.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cantilever Mezzanine
The main advantage of the cantilever mezzanine is its ability to efficiently utilize the vertical space of the warehouse and increase storage capacity.
