What do you do when you’ve run out of storage space or have used every cubic feet on your warehouse or distribution center? Do you expand or existing space? Or do you look for a new frontier and buy a new one? Why don’t you try going vertical Do an assessment of every cubic space of your warehouse, instead of just square footage. Go to the middle of your warehouse, get on a ladder or a lift, and climb at least 15 feet and see. What does your warehouse look like? Is there a lot of open space? If you can still probably see the walls, then you haven’t been using your vertical space enough. Maximize the space that you’re paying for. Think about getting a vertical storage system. Some racking products like pallet racks and mezzanines from Southtech Steel are a perfect solution for your warehouse’s storage needs. By building vertically, you are able to save on overhead costs. And instead of having to expand or even moving your storage off-site, you’ll be able to double or even triple your existing storage space with a mezzanine. A mezzanine dramatically increases the warehouse’s storage floor space by expanding vertically. They’re also flexible. Mezzanines can be modified to fit around existing equipment, columns, and other obstructions.  They are also easy to install without disrupting your daily operations. After installation, the space beneath your mezzanine can also be used for storage or other purposes. Constraints in floor space may have you thinking that expanding or even relocating to a bigger building are your only options. However, by making use of mezzanines from trusted and reliable manufacturers like Southtech Steel, you can have a custom mezzanine designed for your warehouse. Just imagine how much it will cost you to move to another location compared to having a couple of mezzanines added to your existing facility.
