Reclaim floor space with a free layout consultation. Call (888) 553-7276." lang: en --- Image: Warehouse mezzanine system installed above storage in a Columbus, Ohio warehouse (https://columbusmezzanines.com/assets/mezzanine-main-BLtaX66d.jpg) Space for Metro Columbus operations # Warehouse Mezzanines in Columbus, OH When pallets spill into aisles, packing benches lose their place and returns compete with outgoing orders, another building is not the only option. Columbus Mezzanines plans a working level inside your existing warehouse for e-commerce, 3PL fulfillment, retail distribution and manufacturing. From Rickenbacker and the I-71 South corridor to the New Albany International Business Park, the right deck starts with the activity that needs room. We look at stock movement, clear height and shift schedules, including peak-season staffing, before recommending where that activity belongs. Call (888) 553-7276: (888) 553-7276 ## Make Room for Work, Not More Aisle Storage An aisle full of reserve stock is a sign that several jobs are competing for the same footprint. Put slower-moving inventory or a defined work zone above the floor and leave the ground level for the activity that needs direct access to docks. The useful gain is room for a specific job, not simply another surface to fill. Review our free-standing mezzanine approach (https://columbusmezzanines.com/mezzanines/free-standing-mezzanine) for leased buildings. An independent steel frame lets leased warehouses add a level without tying into the roof or walls. Its columns still need deliberate placement: a bay that interrupts an established route can undo the benefit of the space above. Review the footprint together with the tasks that remain underneath. ### Separate the Jobs That Compete for Space Rickenbacker-area fulfillment teams may need room for repacking and returns, while Marysville suppliers need parts close to assembly. Personal care and consumer goods plants in New Albany may need kitting or work space. Each use changes the layout, deck surface and way people or goods reach the new level. ### Fit the Level to the Building You Have Older 20–28 ft clear warehouses on the West and South sides call for a different arrangement from newer 32–40 ft distribution buildings near Groveport and Etna. A consultation turns those constraints into a layout and quote. We also discuss multi-shift access so component deliveries and assembly have an agreed place in the working day.

We discuss how moving that job changes the rest of the floor. ### Protect the Ground-Level Routes Place columns beside established work zones and keep dock approaches in the drawing. In a busy distribution building, the space below matters as much as the deck. ### Draw the Working Arrangement Compare platform height, access and the loads you expect to handle. A layout makes those decisions visible before you commit to the structure. ### Select the Deck and Access Match panels, steel tread or grating to the job, then position stairs, handrails and transfer gates around the way materials will arrive. ### Sequence Assembly Around Shifts Agree where components can wait and which work area can be released. Multi-shift warehouses need a practical sequence that operations managers can plan around. ### Keep Decisions With One Contact Bring layout changes, stock-handling questions and installation access to the same project contact. Columbus Mezzanines is backed by Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., in business since 1997.

Bring the operations team into the discussion while those decisions can still change. ### Bring the Layout Into Focus: - Tasks and staffing on each level - Footprint and access drawings - Deck and handling comparisons - Scope and itemized pricing Talk Through My Layout (https://columbusmezzanines.com/contact) ### Which task is taking over the aisles? ### What headroom will each level need? ### Where will people and stock change levels? ### What loads will the deck carry? ### How will installation fit the shifts? ## Which Job Needs Its Own Space? Tell us where inventory, people and benches are competing on your Columbus floor. (888) 553-7276 ## Mezzanine Planning Across Metro Columbus The Rickenbacker distribution area, US-33 manufacturing corridor and I-71 North flex buildings need different layouts.
