Description
Case Study: Pallet Rack Mezzanine — Maryland Turning Unused Vertical Space into Usable Storage A Maryland customer needed additional storage capacity but wanted to avoid expanding their building or sacrificing more valuable floor space. Pantero designed and supplied a 16' x 20' pallet rack mezzanine that took advantage of the facility’s unused vertical space. The mezzanine was constructed using pallet rack uprights and beams with steel decking, creating a durable elevated storage platform while maintaining usable space underneath. A steel stairway provides easy access to the upper level.
The Solution
Pantero provided a compact 320 sq. ft. mezzanine designed around the customer’s existing facility. The pallet-rack-supported design offered several advantages: 16' x 20' elevated storage platform 320 sq. ft. of additional usable floor space Pallet-rack-supported construction for an economical alternative to a structural steel mezzanine Steel decking for a durable storage surface Stair access to the elevated level Open storage space maintained underneath Designed to maximize the building's existing clear height
The Result
Instead of expanding the building, the customer was able to create an additional 320 sq. ft. of storage within their existing footprint. The project demonstrates how a pallet rack mezzanine can turn unused overhead space into productive square footage while keeping the area below available for storage or operations.
