The Difference Between Steel Platform And Mezzanine Rack

- Nov 06, 2022-

The mezzanine rack is to build an intermediate mezzanine rack on the existing work site or shelf. The mezzanine rack is used to increase the storage space. It can be used as a two- or three-story mezzanine rack. It is suitable to store some light bubbles and small and medium-sized goods. A variety of small batches of goods, manual access to goods. The goods are usually delivered to the second and third floors by forklifts, hydraulic lifts or freight elevators, and then sent to a certain location by light trolleys or hydraulic pallet trucks. The shelf platform is a steel structure that builds a steel platform on the top of the heavy-duty shelf, and integrates the shelf and the platform. The steel structure platform is a platform made of H steel columns, which divides the space into two parts and is used for storage or office steel structure. For warehouses and other buildings with a clear space height greater than 4m, the lower shelf stores pallets, and the upper platform stacks goods or places shelves.

1. Similarities

1. Like the steel structure platform, the mezzanine rack can be built into two or three floors, and except for the ground floor, other floors can be covered with steel plates, so that carts and personnel can walk on the floor by themselves;

2. Both need to design stairs, and both need to be equipped with cargo loading and unloading ports, so as to facilitate users to deploy cargo at any time;

3. Both of them can set up office areas inside the shelves according to their needs;

4. Both of them adopt the fully assembled structure, which is easy to disassemble;

5. According to the needs of customers, a lighting system can be added inside the shelves to facilitate enterprises to work at night;

2. Differences

1. Mezzanine rack are supported by beam-type shelves or medium-sized shelves, while steel platforms are supported by H-beam and other profiles;

2. In terms of floor design, mezzanine rack can be designed into mesh laminates and steel plates according to requirements, while steel platforms are usually galvanized sheets;

3. Under the same area, the cost of the steel platform will be higher than that of the mezzanine rack;

4. Due to the difference in structure, the steel platform uses primary and secondary beams and H-beams, etc., which will be stronger than mezzanine rack supported by shelves.

However, although the two have similarities and differences, in the process of use, both can achieve the same effect, but the industries they are applicable to are different. Therefore, the specific type of design is still based on the specific needs of customers. The fit is better.
