Mezzanine Staircase Landing Platforms

Mezzanine Access Ladders: A Space-Saving Solution
Why Additional Access Points Are Essential
Most building codes and fire regulations require multiple access points for any second-level mezzanine structure. The need for a second or even third access point depends on:
- Mezzanine size
- Number of employees working on and around the platform
- Facility layout and potential space constraints
While additional staircases are the ideal solution, they may not always be feasible due to limited space or facility obstructions.
Ladders: A Compact and Efficient Alternative
Ladders provide a space-saving and code-compliant alternative to staircases, making them an excellent solution for mezzanine access in facilities where staircases are impractical.
