What changes the cost of a supply deck?

Footprint, load rating, decking, number of gates and stairs, and installation conditions all affect price. We do not give ranges without details; your sketch and supply list produce an itemized quote.

How large should the reserve deck be?

Count the pallets or shelf positions you want upstairs, add an aisle and a gate landing area. We check that footprint against your pack lines and dock lanes below before pricing.

Which mezzanine type suits a Northlake distribution building?

A free-standing structural deck is the common choice because it stands on its own columns and can be relocated. Rack-supported options suit some pallet-only reserves; we compare both in the consultation.

Can we add more deck later?

Yes. Tell us about likely growth and we will place columns and edges so another bay can attach later without reworking the original deck.

Warehouse Mezzanines in Northlake, IL

Name: Chicago Mezzanines
Address: 1231 Windham Parkway, 1st Floor, Unit L, Romeoville, IL, 60446, US
Telephone: (888) 553-7276
Price range: $$

We lay out and install warehouse mezzanines in Northlake for distribution and manufacturing buildings where cartons, pallets of wrap and packing supplies have taken over the floor. Warehouse mezzanine systems move that reserve overhead, next to the pack lines that draw from it. Each mezzanine is sized to the supplies you actually keep.

Sites along I-294 and North Avenue see heavy truck traffic. Floor space near the docks is worth keeping clear.

Planning a supply mezzanine in Northlake

Start with replenishment. Where do supply trucks unload, and which line or pack station runs out first? The deck's gate goes on that path, so a lift truck can drop a pallet without crossing busy lanes.

Dock doors let in cold winter air, and winter weather can delay supply deliveries. Holding a deeper reserve upstairs gives packing a buffer when trucks run late.

From sketch to installed warehouse mezzanine

Send a sketch and list of supplies, and we arrange a warehouse consultation. We measure clear height and existing columns, then draw the deck and send an itemized proposal covering structure, decking, access, delivery and installation.

After approval, new steel is fabricated to the drawing. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage set it in the released area, anchored to the floor, and the deck is ready for use soon after it is set.

Many leased buildings suit a free-standing mezzanine ; for decking and access choices, look through our warehouse mezzanines or go back to the Chicago Mezzanines home page.

What a carton reserve mezzanine returns to the floor

Supplies stacked beside pack stations narrow aisles and slow pickers. Overhead storage puts them one gate away while the floor goes back to orders.

The space under the deck stays usable for pack stations or staging. Shift changes in multi-shift buildings also go smoother when the next shift's supplies are staged and labeled above.
