A mezzanine floor can be very handy in a warehouse situation. It can be used for additional storage either above or below it, for office or staff space, shelving above pallet racking, and more. Overall, a mezzanine is an extremely versatile addition to a warehouse. But what happens if the mezzanine needs to be moved or removed? Is it permanent?

The short answer is that warehouse mezzanines can be moved or removed if needed; they’re only a semi-permanent addition to a warehouse in most cases.

There are a lot of reasons why a business may need to move a mezzanine, so making them only semi-permanent is ideal.

Since many businesses rent their warehouse space, a mezzanine may need to be removed at the end of a tenancy as part of the make good process. The owner of the warehouse may not want the mezzanine present, so it may be required to be removed prior to vacating the warehouse at the end of a tenancy.

The good news is that once the mezzanine is dismantled and removed, it may be possible to move it to the new business premises and be used again. Many mezzanines are built in a modular fashion, so they can be rebuilt and added to if needed.

With that, although most businesses are happy with their mezzanine’s position, changes in business needs may mean that the warehouse needs to be reorganised and the mezzanine may need to be moved to a different part of the warehouse. Again, this is easily possible.

All of this is possible because, as mentioned, mezzanines are built in a modular fashion. For many of the mezzanines that we build at A1 Precision Solutions fabricate most of the mezzanine off site, and then put it all together onsite. This speeds up the building process and limits the downtime a business sees when installation is happening. In addition to this though, since a mezzanine is something that is “put together” it can also be taken apart and put back together again!

All in all, getting a new mezzanine for a warehouse and then moving or removing it later is quite simple. If you need more space in your warehouse, a mezzanine may be a good answer. Speak to us today about what we can do for you.
