Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"How is the base shear transmitted through a free-standing Mezzanine subjected to maximum localized compression in Winston Salem, NC?"

Arjun Patel Racking System Installation Lead

Base shear is transmitted through engineered moment-resisting knee braces and localized heavy-duty baseplates. The kinetic energy is distributed directly into the foundational concrete slab, requiring a minimum slab thickness and PSI rating to prevent punching shear failure beneath the columns.

Mezzanine Load Limit FAQ

Q: How much weight can a mezzanine hold in my Winston Salem facility?

We engineer them to hold anywhere from lightweight boxes and hand-picking shelves to heavy machinery. You tell us the load, we run the math.

Q: Can I drive a forklift on top of it?

No. Mezzanines are for hand-picking, conveyors, or pallet jack traffic. Keep the heavy forklifts on the ground floor where they belong.

We install heavy-duty drop gates. Your forklift raises the pallet up, drops it through the gate, and your guys up top pull it safely with a jack.
