Mezzanine Floor Edge Protection

At Avanta, our innovative edge protection system has been designed to provide a choice of secure, durable and high performing options for your mezzanine floors.

Edge protection is obviously a very important part of any mezzanine floor from a safety aspect. Here our edge protection system excels by offering an incredibly stable, robust and secure solution.

Our mezzanine floor edge protection is available in a wide range of styles and finishes to suit the intended purpose of your mezzanine flooring installation.

Our unique system offers a solution that is both incredibly stable, yet tidy and unobtrusive as both the handrail and toe plate can be integrated into the vertical posts. Our oval profile toe plates are 100mm in height and fit through the centre of the posts, providing an edge that is highly robust and secure with no unsightly bolts or potentially dangerous sharp edges exposed. In a similar fashion, our 1120mm high tubular hand and knee rails run through the centre of the posts giving a solution that is incredibly strong and stable with a clean, bolt-free finish.

As an alternative to horizontal knee rails, options available to be installed as part of our edge protection system include glass or acrylic panels, closely fitted vertical posts or our popular guard netting.

Mezzanine Floor Staircases

Avanta designs appropriate staircases into each mezzanine floor project and provides advice regarding relevant Building Regulations. Recently introduced legislation, for example, requires that at least one Ambulant Disabled Staircase (ADS) complying with Approved Document M of the Building Regulations should be fitted to mezzanine floors used for storage and that, in addition, a lift should be provided for office use. Avanta's Approved Inspector can advise you on the regulations and show those instances where a simpler Type K staircase may be an acceptable alternative or situations where a single ADS may alleviate the need for a lift.

All Avanta staircases are powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.

Pallet Gates for Load Access

Mezzanine Floor Pallet Gates

Designed to protect personnel at exposed opening points at the mezzanine floor edge, safety gates can have a light-weight, fail-safe roll-over operation or be of the sliding ‘trombone’ type.

They can accommodate standard sized pallets and require virtually no maintenance. The gates are powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.

We can design bespoke pallet gates  to match your exact requirements. So if you're not sure if our standard products are quite right for your business, we can discuss a more tailored design.

Mezzanine Goods Lift
Spiral Chute on Mezzanine Floor

Mezzanine Floor Spiral Chutes

Mezzanine spiral chutes are a modular construction providing a constant and predictable speed of descent for boxes, packets and other items whilst preventing damage to the goods.

Powered by gravity alone with no moving parts, chutes cost nothing to run with virtually no maintenance.

Customers can specify any infeed or floor heights, orientation, exit heights and with single or multiple feeds. This means that a spiral chute is a perfect solution for the movement of products from mezzanine floor levels. Spiral chutes can be easily configured with any number of intermediate inputs to allow products to be conveyed safely down from a number of levels to a common exit level.
