Porta-King Mezzanines Turn Thin Air into Usable Space

A growing number of companies needing to expand their usable space are "looking up" to pre-engineered mezzanine structures to make it happen.

Pre-engineered mezzanines give facilities the opportunity to expand quickly and affordably, with very little time or capital lost to the installation process. Businesses are recognizing the opportunity to maximize their usable space without the hassles of an on-site construction crew.

"Mezzanines are especially popular in warehouses and manufacturing facilities with high ceilings that allow for upward growth," said Porta-King Vice President Gregg Pearlstone. "They give companies the opportunity to turn existing, unused space into a usable environment for office expansion, production or storage."

According to Pearlstone, Porta-King's pre-engineered mezzanines have been designed with the customer's schedule in mind, with an installation process up to 40% faster than competitive mezzanine systems.

Porta-King's mezzanine products come with a number of unique features, including a single piece panelized guard rail system that installs directly onto the deck of the mezzanine, as well as fully pre-assembled stairs. Porta-King mezzanines feature pre-installed beam to column and purlin connections. The beam to column mezzanine connections are AISC Type 1 and Type 3.

In addition to the traditional indoor mezzanines, Porta-King also offers outdoor models for use as guard towers, observation towers and elevated platforms. All Porta-King mezzanines meet the 2006 compliance specifications of the International Building Code.

Porta-King has been a leader in prefabricated steel mezzanines since 1969. In addition to a full line of mezzanine systems, Porta-King manufactures, structual steel towers, prefabricated buildings, prefabricated shelters, modular buildings and modular walls. Porta-King buildings provide shelter and storage solutions for virtually any working environment. For more information, visit www.portaking.com or call 800-284-5346.
