Mezzanine floor load capacity is fully variable by structural design. Standard ratings are: light office/archive — 250 kg/m²; shelving and light racking — 350–500 kg/m²; pallet racking manually served — 500–600 kg/m²; forklift-served pallet racking — 600–750 kg/m²; manufacturing equipment — custom point loads calculated per machine. The load you specify is what we design and certify to. There is no standard capacity — it is engineered for your application.

A typical mezzanine floor installation takes 4–6 weeks from order confirmation to handover. This includes 1–2 weeks for structural design and approval, 2–3 weeks for factory fabrication, and 1–2 weeks for site installation. Installation is carried out bay-by-bay, so most of your warehouse or factory remains operational throughout the process. Concrete topping (if specified) adds 1–2 weeks for curing time after the structural steel is complete.

Yes — this is one of the key advantages of a bolted steel mezzanine over a concrete intermediate slab. All connections are bolted. The mezzanine can be dismantled section by section, transported and re-erected at a new location. This protects your capital investment if your business relocates. Partial removal, reconfiguration or extension are also possible. The only permanent elements are the anchor bolt pockets in the floor slab, which are easily filled and ground smooth.

The practical minimum eave height to install a useful two-level mezzanine is 5m — this gives approximately 2.4m clear height on each level (ground floor and mezzanine), with the beam depth consuming the remainder. For forklift-served upper levels, 6m+ eave height is preferable to achieve 3m+ clear height above the mezzanine deck. Multi-level (three-floor) mezzanines require 8m+ clear height. If your building is below 4.5m, a mezzanine is generally not practical and a building extension is a better solution.

Yes — this is the most common scenario. Mezzanine floors are specifically designed to be installed inside existing buildings without structural changes to the building frame. The mezzanine has its own independent columns anchored to the floor slab, its own beams and deck, and does not load the building's roof or wall structure. Our site survey checks floor slab thickness (minimum 150mm typically required for column anchor bolts) and identifies any overhead obstructions — sprinklers, lighting, HVAC — that need to be considered in the design.

In most cases, no planning permission is required for an internal mezzanine floor within an existing industrial building in India, provided it does not alter the external appearance of the building and complies with local fire safety and building regulations. However, the specific requirements depend on your local municipal authority and industrial estate rules. We recommend checking with your factory licence authority or local municipal body. We provide structural drawings and load certificates that are typically sufficient for factory records and insurance purposes.

Yes — and this is one of our most significant advantages. We manufacture goods lifts and freight elevators. The goods lift shaft opening and structural provisions are designed into the mezzanine frame at the design stage, not cut in as a retrofit. This means the structural load path is properly calculated, the opening has correct edge framing, and the goods lift installation is coordinated with the mezzanine structure from day one. One vendor for mezzanine structure + goods lift + installation — no gaps, no disputes between suppliers.
