Engineered Multi-Tier Mezzanines for UAE Logistics & Industry
When warehouse floor footprint is at capacity but vertical headroom remains underutilized, GENEX Mezzanine Racking Systems provide an engineered solution to double or triple usable floor area without commercial relocation or civil construction overheads.
Whether configuring a heavy-duty rack-supported mezzanine for high-density SKU picking or an open-span structural steel platform for machinery and production assembly, our engineering team tailors each structural calculation to your precise operational flow, point load parameters, and Civil Defence egress compliance.
100% Vertical Gain Custom Live Loads: 300 to 1,500+ kg/m²

Planning a Mezzanine Project?
To allow our engineering desk to complete load calculations and CAD layout options, prepare the following baseline parameters:
- • Clear height: Clear distance under roof trusses or low-hanging sprinklers.
- • Load requirement: Expected live loads (kg/m²) and equipment handling weight.
- • Floor condition: Concrete slab thickness, rebar mesh, and joint spacing.
- • Egress points: Layout of warehouse exits, loading docks, and columns.
Expert Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between rack-supported and structural steel mezzanines?
A rack-supported mezzanine utilizes heavy-duty pallet racking frames or industrial shelving uprights as the primary structural supports for elevated walkways. This creates dense multi-tier storage ideal for hand-picked stock. A structural steel mezzanine relies on wide-flange universal steel columns, offering open span areas below for floor staging, plant operations, or modular building envelopes.
Do GENEX mezzanine floors comply with UAE Civil Defence regulations?
Yes. Our designs adhere to UAE Civil Defence and local municipality building codes. We incorporate correct egress pathways, stair stringer dimensions, mandatory handrails and kickboards, and open-grating configurations that guarantee required fire sprinkler spray penetration patterns.
What load ratings are standard for warehouse mezzanine platforms?
Capacities are engineered around specific client operations. Typical light-duty picking mezzanines carry 300 to 500 kg/m² uniformly distributed loads (UDL), while heavy-duty industrial platforms supporting pallet trucks, automated conveyors, or machinery can be engineered for 1,000 to 1,500+ kg/m².
How are materials and pallets loaded safely onto upper mezzanine levels?
GENEX installs engineered safety loading gates (pivot safety gates, up-and-over safety barriers, or sliding drop gates) that ensure operators remain protected behind a guardrail at all times during forklift loading. For continuous high-volume vertical transport, we integrate vertical reciprocating cargo lifts and spiral chutes.
