How efficient is the access and storage of goods on the steel mezzanine shelves in the attic?

The steel mezzanine rack is a storage solution that makes use of the vertical space in a warehouse. It is constructed using steel structures with multiple layers, usually designed with 2 to 4 layers, and the total height can reach over 10 meters. Each square meter can be designed to bear a load of 2 to 8 tons, making it suitable for storing heavy goods. It is an upgraded version of the ordinary steel mezzanine rack. So, how efficient is the storage and retrieval of goods with the steel mezzanine rack? Let's find out below.

The storage and retrieval methods of the steel mezzanine rack mainly include two types: one is manual direct retrieval, and the other is mechanical retrieval, such as using a stacker crane, forklift, or adding a hydraulic lifting device to assist in retrieving goods. After adding these devices, the efficiency will not only be much higher than manual direct retrieval but also suitable for batch retrieval.

It can be seen that the retrieval efficiency of the steel mezzanine rack depends on the storage mode, equipment configuration, and management method. In the manual operation mode, it is suitable for low-frequency and multi-SKU scenarios. If combined with mechanical equipment, the efficiency can be close to that of traditional shelves. Its core advantage lies in high space utilization and low cost, making it suitable for small and medium-sized warehouses or enterprises with high storage density requirements. If higher efficiency is needed, partial automation upgrades can be considered.
