Mezzanine Racking

The mezzanine rack is a storage system that uses the racking structure as its main support, combined with access floors, guardrails, staircases, cargo chutes, freight elevators, and hydraulic lift platforms to form a two-story or multi-story storage unit. It maximizes space utilization and significantly improves warehouse efficiency.
