Working Class Van Mezzanine

 Need for very high head-room to allow large vans to drive and park beneath the platform; uninterrupted service bays (one van per bay) with minimal posts in the work envelope; fast “pick from stock above, install below” flow without cluttering the floor; safe edge protection for frequent parts handling along mezzanine perimeters; access that remains usable while carrying bulky items; integration with existing roller-door heights, lighting and forklift/hand-truck movements; future flexibility to reconfigure bays as demand shifts; delivery with minimal disruption so production could resume quickly.

 Mezzanine set-out to create clear-span service bays with posts pushed to bay lines to keep the vehicle footprint free; load-rated deck sized for racked inventory and bulky component staging; compliant edge protection and pick-edges with toe-boards where stock is handled; grippy stair with comfortable going/risers to move cartons and long items safely; floor openings and guard layouts coordinated for clean hand-offs to each bay; services clearances (roller doors, lighting, extraction) checked and maintained beneath the structure; installed as a single, coordinated package (design, fabrication, install) to compress site time and get the facility back online quickly.

Working Class Van needed throughput, not just storage. FMF built a high-clearance platform that keeps the service bays open for vehicles while putting the entire parts library directly overhead. Technicians now stage components upstairs, then drop them straight into the van below—reducing walking, floor clutter and bottlenecks. With compliant edges, easy access and clear spans under the deck, the space works like a purpose-built production line and can flex as the mix of fit-outs changes.
