State-of-the-art Mezzanine Install completed

The MHIG team showed expertise and commitment throughout the entire project, ensuring every detail was meticulously attended to. From planning to execution, their dedication to excellence was evident at every step. 

A mezzanine is a raised platform or floor that is installed between the main floors of a building. It's typically constructed within the existing space, creating an intermediate level. Here are some common reasons why a company might need a mezzanine:


Space Optimization: One of the primary reasons for installing a mezzanine is to make the most out of available vertical space. When a company's floor area is limited, but there is unused vertical space, a mezzanine provides an additional level for various purposes.


Storage Solutions: Mezzanines are excellent for creating additional storage space. This is particularly useful in warehouses, retail spaces, and manufacturing facilities where efficient storage of goods is crucial.


Workspace Expansion: When a company's workforce grows, but available floor space remains the same, a mezzanine can provide extra room for offices, workstations, or other operational needs.


Cost-Effective Alternative: Constructing a mezzanine is often more cost-effective compared to relocating to a larger facility. It allows a company to expand within their existing premises, saving on relocation costs and potential disruptions.


Flexibility in Layout: Mezzanines offer flexibility in designing the layout of a space. They can be customized to fit specific requirements, allowing for efficient use of space according to the company's needs.


Enhanced Productivity: By providing additional space for equipment, workstations, or storage, a mezzanine can contribute to improved workflow and productivity. It helps in organizing the workspace and reducing congestion on the main floor.


Showroom or Display Area: In retail environments, mezzanines can be used to create an elevated display area, allowing for more products to be showcased without increasing the overall footprint of the store.


Meeting or Break Areas: Mezzanines can also serve as a separate area for meetings, break rooms, or employee lounges. This creates a dedicated space for such activities without disrupting the main work area.


Compliance with Building Codes: In some cases, mezzanines may be required by building codes or zoning regulations. They can be used to meet specific structural or safety requirements.


Future Expansion Possibility: Installing a mezzanine provides a company with room for future growth. It allows them to scale their operations without the need for major construction or facility changes.


Overall, a mezzanine offers a versatile solution to maximize the use of available space within a building, making it a valuable addition for companies looking to optimize their operations.

Systems in Motion’s employees were happy to give back to the community this holiday season. This year we participated in the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree. We chose 20 kids of various ages and our “elves” went to work shopping for the top item from their wish lists. Between the employees’ donations and a very generous company match, we were left with money to spend with all the angels accounted for. We quickly contacted the Salvation Army and asked what more we could do. We were informed that the infants can always use some developmental toys and toys to help with walking. So, the elves hopped in their sleigh again and were off to the store where they filled two carts to the point they were overflowing and filled their sleigh to the roof. It never ceases to amaze us at the willingness and eagerness of our Systems in Motion family to give back to those in need. We find a problem and work to provide a solution. Helping to give kids a nice Christmas and bring a smile to their face, is a perfect way to end 2020.

Periodic rack inspections by a qualified individual are important to maintain a safe environment. Pallet racking can take abuse in a number of forms. Of course the most common is the fork truck damage. One area that is commonly overlooked is overloading your racks. Beams that are overloaded become weaker. Since the Beams are critical to the overall health of your system it is imperative bowed or damaged beams are replaced. This article from RMI (Rack Manufacturers Institute) is a good starting place for what to do and what to look for. RMI Rack Inspections 101

MHIG exhibited for the first time at MODEX in Atlanta for MODEX2020. It was a great experience and we look forward to making this a tradition. We made a number of new friends and caught up with the ones we have known for a while. One key takeaway - Padded carpeting is essential for standing and talking all day long. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said Hello.
