Free layout." lang: en --- Image: Free-Standing Mezzanine installed inside a leased Miami-area warehouse (https://miamimezzanines.com/assets/industrial-mezzanine-Bm1UtmfQ.jpg) # Free-Standing Mezzanines in Miami, FL Most warehouse tenants in Doral, Medley and Miami Lakes do not own the building, and many will not stay in it forever. A free-standing mezzanine is built for exactly that situation. It stands on its own steel columns, anchored to the floor. The roof, walls and building frame are left alone, and when the lease ends the deck can be unbolted and taken to the next address. (888) 553-7276 ## Adding a Level Without Touching the Building Every load on the deck travels down through the mezzanine's own columns. None of it hangs from roof steel or leans on an exterior wall. That is what separates free-standing from a structure tied into the shell, and it is why landlords tend to accept it more easily. With industrial vacancy this tight across Metro Miami, plenty of tenants sign shorter renewals or keep an eye on a bigger space that may open up. Spending on a fixed improvement that stays behind is hard to justify in that position. A bolted mezzanine stays your equipment. Moving it is a real project, with take-down, trucking and setup at the new site. Still, that usually costs far less than buying a second deck. Before the first one is ordered we keep bay sizes practical, so the frame has a better chance of fitting a new building with a different column grid. Inside the building it works like any steel platform: columns, beams, joists and a deck, with stairs, handrail, gates and column guards added where the layout needs them. We place columns in dead space between racking and keep them out of the lanes your forklifts use every shift. Not sure what belongs on the deck?

Your lease still decides what notice is required. ### Grows one bay at a time Start with the deck you can justify today and bolt on another bay when the next account or import season arrives. ## Key Specifications Support Own steel columns anchored to the floor Load rating Set to your use; storage, pick or equipment Deck options Unfinished ResinDek, Gray Diamond Seal ResinDek, diamond plate, bar grating Clear height Works in older 18-24 ft and newer 32-36 ft buildings Finish Primed or powder-coated steel Construction Bolted, no field welding, relocatable ## Where It Makes Sense - Leased warehouses and 3PL space - Tenants on short renewals or eyeing a move - Air-cargo and forwarding buildings near MIA - Pick, pack and returns decks over staging - Offices or break rooms with their own HVAC - Operations that plan to add bays later ### Bolted, Not Welded The frame is drawn in 3D before anything is cut, and every connection is bolted. Nothing is welded to the building, so the same parts can be extended, rearranged or set up again somewhere else. We size each column to the load it carries and keep the layout independent of the shell. ## From Walk-Through to Working Deck 1 ### Walk-through We measure the space and ask about your lease term and whether a move is likely. 2 ### Layout and quote A scaled drawing shows columns, stairs and gates, with an itemized price. 3 ### Engineering Column loads are checked for your deck use.
