Add a Level — Don't Add a Building

Most warehouses are paying for cubic space they never use — the air above head height. A free-standing structural mezzanine reclaims it, adding a full second level for storage, offices, assembly, or carton-flow pick modules without expanding the building or disrupting the structure below. Langer designs the column grid, beam-and-joist framing, decking, stairs, and guardrail around your loads and floor plan, produces stamped engineered drawings for permitting, and installs it turnkey — including pallet gates and lifts to move product between levels. It's typically a fraction of the cost of building out or relocating.

What Makes Up a Mezzanine

Columns & Footings

Structural steel columns on engineered base plates carry the platform load to the floor — free-standing from the building.

Beams & Joists

A beam-and-joist grid spans the columns to support the deck and the rated live load.

Decking

Bar grating, resin board, or steel deck surface — chosen for the load, traffic, and whether you need light to pass through.

Stairs & Handrail

Code-compliant stairs, guardrail, and toe-kick — plus pallet gates and lifts where you move product between levels.

Mezzanines — Common Questions

What is a mezzanine / work platform?

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. Langer designs, engineers, and installs mezzanines across Pittsburgh and Western PA — call 724-898-2000.

How much weight can a mezzanine hold?

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. Langer produces stamped engineered drawings so your platform passes inspection and is safe for its intended use.

Do I need a permit for a mezzanine in Pennsylvania?

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

How much does pallet racking cost?

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. Langer designs to your budget and gives a firm quote. Call 724-898-2000 for pricing on your Western PA project.

What type of pallet racking is best for my warehouse?

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. Langer designs the layout around how your operation actually runs across Western Pennsylvania.
