• If you're thinking about adding a mezzanine to your warehouse/plant, you need to know about these new guidelines:
• Mezzanines no longer can be just engineered for vertical (gravity) loads. Engineering a design which accommodates horizontal (lateral) load strength, stiffness and ductility will be required for all mezzanine structures to be in compliance with the IBC.
• Everywhere is now seismic to some degree. In other words, ground motion and its effect on mezzanine design is now a consideration in areas where previously it was not.
• Better trained and probably more conscientious building inspectors.
• More requirements for structural calculations as part of the permitting process.
• More structural calculation scrutiny for lateral load resistance.

We have mezzanines that fit your needs. Give us a call today and our material handling systems professionals can help you and make sure you are within code.
