It doesn’t matter if we’re working in a 2,000 sq. ft. space or a 2 million sq. ft. warehouse; our installation team is the best in the business. The facility our team is dismantling in Mississippi is 500,000 sq ft.  Check it out…

Storage Solutions

Like I mentioned last week, the Project Mississippi dismantle includes tearing down a 15,000 sq ft, two story bin mezzanine, three stairs and one vertical reciprocating lift.

A mezzanine is a structure that stands alone and is constructed within an existing building. This structure is designed to maximize space under and above it which creates additional space for storage or offices. Mezzanines are extremely durable structures and can be designed to sustain heavy loads. These are great for creating other levels using your existing space; if you need more space, allow mezzanines to build up instead of out.

3 Types of Mezzanine:

  • Free-Standing
  • Shelving/Bin Supported
  • Racking Supported

I know it has been awhile, but we are back with a new “Project Spotlight” series and we’ve got quite the list of projects to showcase in the next few weeks!  I am going to start by taking you down to Mississippi, where we are dismantling nearly 2,700 pallet rack bays and over 2,000 bin sections that make up a 15,000 sq ft two-story bin mezzanine. This also includes three sets of stairs and one vertical reciprocating lift.

Objective: The customer is closing their current distribution center and opening multiple distribution centers nationwide. Our team is tearing down and buying back the used equipment in the current facility.

Rivet Shelving

Rivet shelving is a simple storage solution and an ideal shelving option for situations in which bulk shelving is required to store cases and boxes. It is typically found in case picking.

Because of its design, rivet shelving can be considered a “clean” shelving option. Rivet shelving functions like teardrop beams and uprights, meaning that the upright has open holes on its’ face that are “teardrop” shaped, and the shelf has connectors with rivets that slide and lock into place on the uprights. This dynamic removes the need for accessories and hardware like clips, fasteners, nuts, and bolts. A rubber mallet – used to secure the shelf in place – is the only tool needed to assemble rivet shelving.

Traditionally, rivet shelving commonly held particle board as support for the items and cases picked. Over the years, however, we have found that safety inspectors and fire marshals prefer warehouses instead choose wire decking to increase safety in your operation.

Also, because of the design, rivet shelving offers a benefit of flexibility within each shelving unit. You can easily change the heights of each row to allow for the optimal storage capacity for your products. Double rivet shelving is also available if additional load capacity is required.
