Is a Multi-Tier System Right For You?
A Multi-Tier racking system is versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications across a variety of industries including retail, automotive, manufacturing, cold storage and food. This system typically offers the greatest advantages in warehouses with the following characteristics:
Tall Ceilings and Limited Floor Space
Facilities with high ceilings can effectively utilize vertical space to increase storage capacity, without expanding their physical footprint.
Lots of SKUs
This system is beneficial for warehouses that store a wide range of products in various sizes and categories, requiring organized and easily accessible storage.
High Inventory Turnover
Highly ideal for facilities where quick and efficient order picking is essential to meet high demand and fast-moving inventory.
Flooring Options
Many flooring options are available including Mezz Tread, Resin Deck, Open Steel Plank and Bar grating.
Mezz Tread
Durable and slip-resistant, ideal for mezzanines and high-traffic areas.
Resin Deck
Provides a smooth and easy-to-clean surface, suitable for environments requiring hygiene.

Allows for airflow and drainage, perfect for industrial settings.

ARE Building Permits Required?
Store-Rite can assist with any building permit applications for Multi-Tier Racking projects. Instead of leaving it to chance, take advantage of our 40+ years of experience helping customers build structures in a safe and environmentally conscious method.
In almost all cases, a building permit will be required for Multi-Tier Racking. Even if a building permit is not required, it is good practice to consider the following whenever considering installing Multi-Tier Racking.
Concrete Floor Specifications – Do you have a Professional Engineering document that proves the strength of your floor? Racking and mezzanine base plates exert loads on concrete floors that may exceed the original floor design specifications.
Fire Protection – Will your existing building fire protection system be adequate to protect the racking or mezzanine you intend to install?
Commodity Classification – Do you know what commodity classes you are storing in your building?
