Free Standing Large Part Accumulation Mezzanine with Floor to Mezzanine Material Lift Transporter

The free-standing mezzanine provides staging space for large, heavy production molds that are supported and moved on casters. The mezzanine deck is capable of handling 1000-pound plus point loads transmitted through the casters to the floor surface. The integral mezzanine safety rail is designed to contain the production tools even if they impact the rail while traveling up to three miles an hour. The reciprocating material lift is used to transport the tools between the mezzanine level and ground floor levels on an as-needed basis.

Purchased Parts Rack Supported Mezzanine and Kitting Cells

A reconfiguration of available vertical space was needed to consolidate multiple MRO parts kitting operations onto a flexible mezzanine system. A combination rack-supported mezzanine and free-standing mezzanine were built to consolidate the operations. The design eliminates the need for order picking forklifts and rolling ladders used in the prior selective rack small item order picking process. The design significantly increases the pick rate per labor hour, resulting in indirect labor savings while producing kits in substantially less time.

High Value Product Security Crib With Free Standing Mezzanine

The goal was the consolidation of the MRO parts for three sensor manufacturing facilities into one common operation. The system started with the design, fabrication, and installation of a free-standing mezzanine above an existing MRO parts crib. Once the mezzanine was installed, the security fencing was modified and repackaged around the lower level to optimize work space and material flow. Once the fencing was completed, the shelving systems from the two remaining facilities were reconfigured and moved into their new positions on the new free-standing mezzanine.

Limited Access Free Standing Information Archive Mezzanine

The free-standing mezzanine provides overhead storage for archival records with limited access requirements. The swing gate allows palletized records to be lifted up onto the mezzanine surface, and the caged ladder allows associate access in a limited footprint.

Large Product Disassembly, Repair & Rebuild System

The customer wanted to improve the department's production levels and the associates' ergonomic environment. The crane-based disassembly, repair, and rebuild system for jet engine products substantially improved productivity levels as well as associate ergonomics. The system is an integration of radio-controlled overhead cranes, free-standing mezzanines, material lifts for parts delivery to and from the mezzanines, and six customized scissor lifts for supporting the jet engine product during disassembly and reassembly.

Full Case and Less Than Case Order Picking, Inspection & Packaging System

Full-case and less-than-case order picking, order inspection, and packaging systems. The system substantially reduces the associated walking and lifting requirements as well as increasing order throughput rates and picking accuracy. The system starts with an over/under high-density pallet storage system with push-back staging of loads on the upper two rack levels and gravity flow lanes for full case picking to powered take-away conveyors on the lower level. The system then passes through a broken case picking area for small items to be picked from shelf levels in a rack-supported mezzanine configuration. Finally, all orders go to a sortation station where the system automatically segregates full-case orders and bypasses them around the manual inspection process. All other orders pass through a 100% inspection and packing process.

High Capacity Free Standing Mezzanine with Integral Crane System

The free-standing mezzanine with the mezzanine column-supported overhead bridge crane provides substantial additional square footage for raw material storage and delivery to an injection molding process at ground level. The crane system allows access to any unit load of pelletized plastic materials under its travel path. This reduces the number of touches per unit load handled, resulting in lower indirect labor costs.

Maintenance Crib Free Standing Mezzanine and Work Stations

The provided free-standing mezzanine with workstations provides increased work area space for the maintenance department while allowing spare parts to be staged in customer-owned shelving beneath. Locating the workstations on the mezzanine limits access to the maintenance department's tools by unauthorized personnel.

WIP Injection Molded Parts KanBan Buffer

The automotive customer needed a line-side presentation buffer of purchased parts for a manufacturing process within a minimum amount of line-side space. The provided KanBan buffer (case flow cell) provided the required quantity of pick faces and days of inventory needed to fill the requirement between the two mezzanines. The lower free-standing mezzanine positioned the associates at the elevation needed to add the MRO parts to the products being manufactured on the line. The upper free-standing mezzanine positioned the associate for replenishing the case flow cell.

Custom Modular Building Enclosure with Integral Free Standing Mezzanine

The mezzanine and modular building combination provide a curing chamber environment for large products and a floor-supported environment for the HVAC system that controls the temperature and humidity levels within the modular building below.

Maintenance Crib Rack Supported Mezzanine and Work Stations

The rack-supported mezzanine with workstations provides a greater work area for the maintenance department while allowing spare parts to be staged in the rack shelf levels below. It also limits access to the maintenance department's tools by unauthorized personnel. (Stairs omitted for visual clarity)
