Understanding the Differences
When it comes to choosing the right elevated platform for your project or installation, you have two main options to consider: free-standing mezzanines and work platforms. While they share some similarities, there are key differences that can impact which option is best for your needs.
-
Free-Standing Mezzanines: A Robust Storage Solution
Free-standing mezzanines are an ideal solution for those looking to increase their storage space. Mezzanines are typically used in warehouse and industrial settings to create additional square footage by installing an elevated platform within an existing space. They are ideal for storing items that require a lot of vertical space and can support heavy loads.

Work Platforms: A Flexible Solution for a Range of Applications
Work platforms, on the other hand, are more flexible and can be used for a variety of applications. They are commonly used to provide a safe and stable working surface for tasks such as maintenance, assembly, and inspection. Work platforms can be designed to meet specific requirements, such as providing access to hard-to-reach areas, accommodating specific equipment, or supporting a certain number of workers.
Choosing the Right Option for Your Needs
When deciding between a free-standing mezzanine and a work platform, it's important to consider the specific needs of your project or installation. Factors such as the intended use, available space, load capacity, and regulations can all impact which option is best.
If you need additional storage space for your warehouse or industrial setting, a free-standing mezzanine may be the right choice. If you need a flexible and adaptable platform for tasks such as maintenance or assembly, a work platform may be a better option.
