Which type of mezzanine fits my operation?

Most decks we plan are free-standing steel, standing on their own columns and anchored to the floor. The bigger decisions are deck size, height and surface, and those follow from what the level holds. We settle them with you during the free consultation.

How big should our mezzanine be?

Start from the work, not the building. Tally the pick faces, packing benches or pallet positions the level needs, add aisles and a stair, then fit that to your clear height and column grid. Our drawing shows the real footprint first.

How heavy a load can a mezzanine hold?

A typical storage deck is rated near 125 pounds per square foot. Decks that see carts, pallet jacks or machinery get a higher rating. We base it on the loads you describe, including point loads from equipment.

What is included in a mezzanine quote?

Structure, decking, handrail, kick plate, stairs, gates and installation are itemized line by line. Seeing each piece priced lets you adjust size or options before you order.

Can we add on to the deck later?

Yes. Bolt-together framing lets extra bays join the existing structure in a second phase, so the first deck does not have to cover every future need.

The question we hear most is not whether a mezzanine fits. It is what to put on it. Around Greater Louisville the answer usually follows whatever work is crowding the floor.

We plan steel mezzanine systems around that work, whether it is an e-commerce pick line in Shepherdsville, a returns cell at River Ridge or a parts deck for a supplier near Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant.

What Louisville Operations Put on a Mezzanine Deck

Pick and pack

Each-pick shelving and packing benches move up a level, leaving the floor for pallet storage and outbound staging. It is the deck we plan most often for 3PL and e-commerce tenants along the I-65 South corridor.

Returns processing

Returns need room to open, sort and restock without tangling with outbound orders. A dedicated deck keeps that flow apart and close to the pick area it feeds back into.

Parts and maintenance inventory

Suppliers serving Ford's Louisville plants and GE Appliances at Appliance Park often need bins, spares and returnable containers near the line. A deck over the maintenance shop keeps them within reach.

Kitting and light assembly

Kitting tables, carts and staging shelves sit well on a finished deck surface that handles cart wheels shift after shift.

Packaging and slow movers

Food and bourbon operations stack cartons, labels, closures and seasonal stock overhead, so the floor stays clear for product that ships this week.

Offices and break rooms

A supervisor office above the floor gives a clear view of the operation. Since most local warehouses are not air conditioned, these rooms need real HVAC, and we plan it into the layout early.

Choosing a Deck Surface for the Work

What rolls across the deck decides the surface. Here is how the four options we supply compare.

Unfinished ResinDek

An engineered panel made for mezzanine floors and the lowest-cost surface we offer. It rolls smoothly and suits most storage and light pick decks.

Bar grating

Open steel grating that lets air and light pass through. In a hot, humid building in August, that airflow makes the deck far more bearable for the people working on it.

Diamond plate

Steel tread plate over corrugated deck for heavy point and wheel loads, where pallet jacks and carts cross the surface all day.

Gray Diamond Seal ResinDek

A coated ResinDek panel with a smoother, harder-wearing finish, a good match when the deck doubles as a packing or kitting work surface.

Inside the Steel: How These Systems Go Together

Drawn for Your Building

Each layout starts from your clear height, column grid and the loads you plan to put on the deck. Column spacing follows your racking and forklift lanes, not a catalog size.

3D layout drawings before anything is fabricated
Deck ratings matched to storage, carts or pallet jacks
Columns placed in dead space, out of travel lanes
Stair and gate locations reviewed with your team

Bolt-Together Steel

Components are fabricated off site and bolted together in your building rather than welded in place. Less time on your floor, and a structure you can extend or relocate later.

Shipped as a numbered kit
Handrail, kick plate, gates and column guards
Pieces sized to fit through standard dock doors
Extra bays can be added in a later phase

Most decks we supply are free-standing. Read how a free-standing mezzanine works in leased space, check your location on the Jeffersontown or other service area pages, or head back to the home page. Our team handles the permit side for you.
