Myths About Mezzanines: Survey Findings About Mezzanine Benefits

Mezzanines are a cost-effective way to add safe and productive space to a warehouse or other industrial building.

By going with a high quality, pre-manufactured mezzanine system that is engineered and customized to meet user needs, the objectives of adding useable space without sacrificing durability or cost efficiency can be met.

These objectives and other findings were revealed in the survey, “Mezzanines in the Warehouse,” conducted by Peerless Research Group (PRG) for Cubic Designs, a provider of custom mezzanine systems.

The 2013 survey of 406 people involved with designing, running or managing warehouses provides insights into how mezzanines are being used, the selection criteria, and the top benefits of mezzanines.

One key finding is that many companies are in need of more warehouse space. Fifty-one percent of respondents said they will need more space within the next two years, and when asked how close they currently are to full capacity, 44 percent said they have reached at least 90 percent capacity or more, with 7 percent of these saying they were at full capacity.

By pointing out the market realities around mezzanine use, criteria, and benefits, the survey brings up myths that might exist about pre-manufactured mezzanines.
