DOUBLE, TRIPLE USABLE FLOOR SPACE
The bidirectional rigid frame of Industrial Structures mezzanines permits wide spans between columns, eliminating the need for cross bracing. It is freestanding, giving leasing and depreciation advantages. Using less steel by weight, it’s lower in freight costs and easy to offload. All parts simply bolt together. The galvanized finish resists corrosion and reflects light. Western Pacific Storage Systems
