Product Benefits
Greater load bearing capacities assured.
The rigid frame construction of an SureSTEP work platform (mezzanine) features stronger connections that allow for greater spans and more space planning flexibility than others.
All of the depreciation benefits of a piece of equipment.
The SureSTEP work platform (mezzanine) system gives you the benefits associated with industrial equipment while increasing your usable space, but affording you the advantages of not being attached to the existing building or other structure.
Exceeds most required manufacturing standards.
By meeting IBC, OSHA, SBCC and Seismic Zone 4 regulatory requirements as well as holding an L.A. City Fabricators License, our quality is universally recognized. Code compliance is assured by our full spectrum of permit services, engineering calcs and drawings.
Designed for easy installation, dismantle and relocation.
The SureSTEP work platform (mezzanine) features all bolted connections that can be assembled with ordinary hand tools. Unlike hard construction, your investment can move with you or offered for resale.
Greater design flexibility.
The SureSTEP work platform (mezzanine) system features wider spans that reduce the number of columns. This creates more space and provides for less obstruction.
Product Features

Certainly the hallmark of every SureSTEP work platform (mezzanine) is its clean, unique, integrated finish that brightens the work space, resists corrosion, scratches and reflects light.

When considering the SureSTEP work platform (mezzanine), remember that our formed components can be engineered (standard is 125 psi and above) to meet your requirements (Cold form 50 KSI and columns 36 KSI). All of this, plus the benefit of weighing in at as much as a third less than conventional structural steel (channel beams are shown in picture to right). Higher strength and lower weight provides considerable savings in both shipping and installation.

Powder Coat Finishes
Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a protective finish to your work platform (mezzanine). The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a smooth, uniform, durable, high-quality, attractive finish.
Galvanized is standard finish. Color is optional.
Types of Work Platforms (Mezzanines)

Freestanding work platform (mezzanine) provide optimum usable space above and below and are supported by framing members connected to the primary floor by columns alone. We use lightweight, high tensile steel in coil form, not the hot-rolled I-beam steel in pre-established lengths that others use. In fact, our product is 1/3 less steel by weight, yet it has been proven to be 38% stronger.

Rack- or shelving-supported work platforms (mezzanines) use inherent members to withstand loads placed on the upstairs level. Space below is limited to racks or shelving. This type of work platform (mezzanine) simply transfers the floor level space to the upstairs area and features open spans up to 30′ in either direction.
Freestanding work platform (mezzanines) utilize pre-configured components to provide the standard 125 psf uniform loading capacity platform.
