Yes. Our steel mezzanines are engineered for specific load requirements—from standard 125 PSF for storage up to 500+ PSF for heavy equipment. We analyze your equipment weight and layout, then design the structure accordingly with stamped engineering drawings.

Most manufacturing projects achieve payback in 18-24 months. ROI comes from: labor savings (fewer trips to stockroom), space savings (vertical storage reduces footprint by 50%+), accuracy improvements (fewer wrong parts = less rework), and inventory reduction (better visibility = lower safety stock). We provide ROI projections with every proposal.

Mezzanines typically install in 2-4 weeks. VLMs install in 1-2 weeks depending on quantity and integration complexity. We schedule installations to minimize production disruption—often working nights and weekends if needed.

In most cases, no. Our mezzanines are classified as equipment, not permanent construction. We provide stamped engineering drawings for your records and any inspections. However, requirements vary by municipality—we research your specific location as part of the proposal process.

Hänel VLMs include inventory management software that integrates with major ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and others. The integration handles: pick list import, inventory updates, transaction logging, and reorder alerts. We configure the integration during installation.

Pallet racking installs in 1-2 weeks. VLMs install in 2-3 weeks including WMS integration. Mezzanines take 3-4 weeks. Full warehouse optimization projects typically complete in 4-6 weeks. We schedule installations around your shipping schedule to minimize disruption—including nights and weekends if needed.
