Lyon Storage Solutions

An organized workspace can increase productivity and reduce wasted money on unnecessary supplies or equipment that you have but can’t find. Shelving and cabinets are the two most basic storage solutions that can help organize the products, supplies and inventory of your office, or warehouse.

Shelving

The simplest form of storage, shelving keeps products or supplies off of workbenches, tables or the floor. Shelving also keeps items closer to eye level making inventory, products or supplies much easier to find.

•Open Shelving: Ideal for packaged stock. Offers high visibility for items without assigned shelf locations

•Closed Shelving: Adds protection against dust & sunlight. Also used to separate storage and work areas.
•Pre-Engineered Rivet Rack: Use for merchandise displays, storing packaged goods, or holding large cartons of equipment and supplies in commercial, industrial or institutional facilities.

•Bulk Storage Rack: Great for storing cartoned merchandise in shipping and receiving departments. Can also be used for display racking in furniture and department stores and storage of medical and dietary supplies in hospitals.
•Chrome-Plated Wire Shelving: Provides access from all four sides with high visibility and maximum ventilation. No dust or dirt build up, improved sprinkler access enhances fire safety.
•Storage & Display Bins: Ideal for storage and display of parts, small bulk items, or packaged merchandise in repair shops, garages, parts and tool rooms, machine shops, etc.

Cabinets

Cabinets perform the same basic function of shelving but features doors that can hide unsightly items in public areas.

•Standard Cabinets: Time tested design, great for storing supplies, inventory or products.
•Drawer Cabinets: Perfect for small parts or tools.
•Bin Storage Cabinets: Keeps small parts together in bins.
•Safety Cabinets: Designed for the storage of chemicals or flammable items.
•Mobile Cabinets: Cabinets with wheels make for easy transport.

Lyon Mezzanines: Increasing Space, Saving Money

Lyon Mezzanines are one of the most cost effective investments a company can make. A mezzanine can double floor area, provide twice the number of “picking fronts” and offer twice the cube utilization. Another benefit of mezzanines is the cost. A typical mezzanine offers three times the space of a new building for the same amount of money. Because mezzanines aren’t stand alone structures they offer several tax benefits as well as increased depreciation. Mezzanines are great for using space that would otherwise go wasted. They can be placed above existing shelving or racking and add even more storage through the use of drawers, shelving, or cabinets.

Building Requirements
Mezzanines require a ceiling height of at least 14″ floor loads in excess of 150 lb. per square foot, a minimum of obstructions in all three dimensions and a building lease that allows modifications and customization. Dual level sprinklers are usually required and changes to lighting, HVAC, and other systems are typically needed. Attaching a mezzanine to a building makes it under the jurisdiction of local building codes.

Use
Adding a mezzanine will change the handling methods used by operators and should be considered when planning and designing a mezzanine. The best way to setup materials with a two level setup is to keep fast moving product families on the lower level and slow moving product families on the top. The biggest mistake made with two level storage is to only split up slow and fast moving products without thinking about keeping similar product families together. Access to mezzanines can be accomplished using ladders and stairways. Materialflow.com has a huge selection of OSHA approved ladders.

If your warehouse or plant is in need of more space consider a mezzanine. It’s much cheaper than buying new land and you can take it with you if your business ever moves. A great place to purchase mezzanines is Materialflow.com. They have a large selection and a great staff that knows the ins and outs of material handling. Give them a call at 1-800-338-1382.
