Cogan Mezzanine Going Strong After a Decade of Use

This Cogan Mezzanine is being installed in a new  vehicle dealership in Boston’s Metro West. The area above and below the mezzanine will be used for parts storage on steel shelving. The column lines fall where they won’t interfere with the flow of material or impact access to the storage area. A Cogan Mezzanine Safety Pivot Gate is included to allow for a safe pallet drop area on the mezzanine.

Cogan Mezzanine to Install Next Week in Central Mass

This Cogan Mezzanine will be installed next week above a new production area. The mezzanine will be used primarily to support equipment used in the manufacturing process. Personnel access to the deck will be limited and a Cogan Caged Ladder used to access the deck when necessary. We’ve also incorporated a 5′ lift out gate allowing forklift access to a pallet drop area on the deck. The deck will extend to the walls on both the North and West sides of the mezzanine. By extending the deck right to the wall it eliminates the need for handrail and saves on some cost.

The deck is also cantilevered over an existing curb that protrudes into the room on the West end of the drawing. It’s quite common for curbs, pipes, ventilation and other obstacles to be present in the areas you want to install a mezzanine in. It’s important to take them all into account and design accordingly before the mezzanine is manufactured and delivered.

Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) with Cogan Cantilever Rack

Increase your storage capacity with a Cogan Very Narrow Aisle Cantilever Rack System.

 

If you’re looking to increase your storage capacity within your existing facility or moving your operation into a new facility, A Cogan Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Rack Storage System may be the solution for your storage needs. 

With a (VNA) System the aisle space between the rows of rack are greatly reduced and the stored product is retrieved using a specialized side loading fork lift. With the size of the aisles minimized, usually around 40%, storage space utilization can yield you an increase of between 45 to 50% compared to traditional rack layouts.

VNA storage systems typically use floor guides in the aisles and on the end of aisles. These rails work to guide the narrow aisle fork trucks through the pick aisles, allowing for a faster, easier and more efficient picking operation. The guide rails can be inserted into the rack base or anchored to the floor, independent of the rack structure. The end of aisle rails are welded on either end of the row to protect the entrance of each aisle allowing the fork lift driver to safely navigate around corners. Both types of guide rail are welded on site for a precise fit creating a solid, continuous guide rail.
