Free Standing Mezzanines

Free standing mezzanines are custom-engineered to meet the specific load requirements of each project. They are designed to support a wide range of loads, including packing tables, bulk storage, conveyor accumulation systems, pick modules, and operational equipment. Load capacity is determined during the engineering phase and stamped by a licensed professional engineer.

Free standing mezzanines from Cubic Designs can achieve column spacing up to 35 feet with no cross bracing required beneath the platform. This maximizes usable floor space below the mezzanine deck, allowing forklifts, conveyors, or full pallet storage to operate unobstructed in the lower work area.

Yes, in most jurisdictions free standing mezzanines require building permits. Storage Products Company provides full permit support as part of its project management services. All mezzanine drawings and calculations are stamped by a licensed, on-staff professional engineer (PE), which is typically required by local building departments for permit approval.

Available floor surface options include bar grating, resin decking, B-deck with concrete topping, and solid steel decking. The appropriate surface depends on the intended use — bar grating is common for fire suppression compliance, while B-deck with concrete topping is preferred for heavy loads or office environments requiring a solid, flat surface.

Yes. Free standing mezzanines are custom-engineered with flexible column grid configurations that can integrate around existing building columns, offices, exterior doors, sprinkler systems, and equipment. The custom design process uses AutoCAD technology to plan column placement that avoids all obstructions while maximizing the usable platform area.

Cubic Designs free standing mezzanines come with a Lifetime Structural Warranty, covering the structural integrity of the system. This warranty reflects the quality of engineering and materials used. All projects also include PE-stamped drawings and calculations, ensuring the system meets all applicable International Building Code (IBC) construction codes.
