Mezzanine brings storage back in-house

The additional storage space created by the installation of a Revlok mezzanine floor from Doity at the distribution centre of Rainbow Cosmetics in Manchester has enabled the company to bring storage back in-house and cut out the cost of third-party storage.

When rapid expansion increased pressure on storage space, a short term solution had been to pay for warehouse storage space elsewhere, but the option of installing a mezzanine floor made financial sense. Having taken the decision to go ahead, Rainbow Cosmetics took a closer look at two suppliers, one of which was Doity Engineering creator of the Revlok brand.

Martin Core, Rainbow Cosmetics' warehouse and distribution manager, explained: "The two proposals we looked at were similar on the pricing side.

However, we decided on Doity after seeing one of their mezzanine floors in Bolton. Our decision was based on having confidence in their quality, safety features and durability." All mezzanine floors designed by Doity focus on the details that reflect the demands of every customer's business. The specifications at Rainbow Cosmetics included a suspended ceiling and column casings, three load gates and a safety handrail all the way around the mezzanine. To conform with building regulations, Doity have ensured that the 50m mezzanine floor has a onehour fire rating certification.
