Mezzanines & Platforms

A mezzanine is a free-standing structural steel platform that adds a second (or third) level of usable space inside your existing building — no need to expand the footprint or move. It uses its own columns, beams, decking, handrail, and stairs, so it sits independently of the building structure and can be designed for storage, offices, assembly, or pick modules. Alliance designs, engineers, and installs mezzanines nationwide — call (240) 269-2216.

Mezzanines are engineered to your use — typical storage platforms are designed for 125–250 lbs/sq ft, with heavier ratings available for equipment or dense storage. The columns, beams, joists, and decking are all sized to the load and to code. Alliance produces stamped engineered drawings so your platform passes inspection and is safe for its intended use.

Yes — mezzanines require a building permit and stamped engineered drawings, and often must address egress, guardrail, and sometimes fire-protection requirements. Alliance handles the engineering and permit drawings as part of a turnkey project and builds to code so it passes inspection the first time nationwide.

Pallet racking cost depends on the system type, capacity, height, and number of bays — selective rack is the most economical per position, while high-density systems like push-back and pallet flow cost more but store more in less space. Alliance designs to your budget and gives a firm quote. Call (240) 269-2216 for pricing on your the U.S. project.

The right system depends on your SKU count, pallet volume, and rotation needs: selective rack for direct access to mixed SKUs, drive-in for high-density LIFO, push-back for density with selectivity, pallet flow for FIFO throughput, and cantilever for long loads. Alliance designs the layout around how your operation actually runs nationwide.
