Mezzanine Elevator

One excellent feature of a recent mezzanine we fabricated for a client was a mezzanine elevator. This enabled the client to easily store heavier items on the 2nd floor without having to risk injury bringing it up a flight of stairs.  Putting wire mesh around the elevator reduces the risk of products falling below during the lift.  Please see the photos below and the actual mezzanine at: http://modullift.com/blog/?p=75. You can learn more about Modulus Mezzanines at: http://www.modullift.com/mezzanines.php

August 23 Product Update: Pallet Racking – Understanding Racking Regulations

Although pallet racking is assumed to be simplistic there are many reasons to work with a reputable company like Modulus.

Standard pallet racking is designed to handle static pallets (various sizes).  Modulus is familiar with the current racking regulations and is recognized by several key manufacturers in the industry.  Our strength is our diversity!  We can accommodate your existing racking provide layout drawings, calculations and certifications in accordance with current OHSA, CSA and RIM standards.

Another option utilizing racking is to build yourself a mezzanine fully supported by racking.  This offers savings on the purchase of a mezzanine and maximizes your floor space taking advantage of your support structure.  It’s easy and efficient.

Modulus carries a “Certificate of Authorization” from the Professional engineering Association of Ontario which is a license to offer engineering services to industry.  One area of focus has been Pre-start health and safety reviews for racking and storage systems.

Contact Modulus to review your square footage and prepare the layout that maximizes your requirements.
