…Storage Solutions!! So we didn’t receive an Oscar for Best Picture, but receiving Republic Storage System’s President’s Award is pretty close!

republic storage awardRepublic Storage Systems can trace their roots all the way back to 1886 when they made metal conductor pipe in a basement workshop. Now Republic is well-known in the industry for shelving, lockers and so much more.

The President’s Award is given to distributors that meet specific criteria. We asked Republic’s President to explain that criteria for us and he said, “The President’s Award is presented annually to recognize our top customers, specifically those who have not only made a significant impact on Republic Storage Systems but who have also worked with us in true partnership for the benefit of both. Of our more than 1,000 eligible customers, Republic has typically awarded less than 10 President’s Awards each year. Storage Solutions has entrusted Republic with some of their most important customers, and despite the challenges presented by these very complex jobs, never loses sight of the value we both place in our relationships with each other and our customers.”

Our Republic rep, Michael, also had these kind words about Storage Solutions, “I have been in this industry for 25 years and Storage Solutions has always been one of the most professional distributors to work with.”

This is the fourth year Storage Solutions has received this prestigious award. We are proud to have a partner in Republic.

It’s been awhile since we have done a term of the week, so to start the week off right, we are re-visiting mezzanines.

mezzanine

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. These are extremely durable structures; they 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:

A free standing mezzanine is supported by structural columns whereas shelving/bin and racking supported mezzanines are supported by pallet rack uprights or shelving/bin systems.A shelving/bin supported mezzanine is more economical than a free standing mezzanine because the storage units installed under and above the mezzanine floor allow for increased storage capacity.

We recently installed a bin supported mezzanine for a customer. You can check out the installation process in our Project Spotlight Series: Project Illinois.

The final time lapse video for Project California has arrived! Check it out below!

Like we have mentioned before, the Storage Solutions installation team travels all across the United States for projects. No project is ever the same. They range from 5,000 square feet to 2 million square feet! If you are interested in working with our team on you next project, give us a call at 866.474.2001.
