A catwalk is a walkway or aisle that provides a
structural platform permitting access within the entire cube of the building or
warehouse. It allows personnel to store and retrieve merchandise items from
steel shelving, rivet rack, wide span racking, or pallet racking. Also known as
viewing platforms or maintenance catwalks, catwalk
mezzanine systems can also be used for viewing operations.
Configuration
of Catwalk Systems
A catwalk configuration is ideal for situations
which require 100% clear area below the deck, eliminating any column
interruption. It provides a structural platform that permits access within the
entire cube of the building. An efficient catwalk design allows simple, quick
movement through a unique joist hanger arrangement.
Catwalk systems offer a cost-efficient solution for
the conversion of unusable overhead space into efficient overhead maintenance
catwalk walkway space. Utilizing high-grade materials and powerful construction,
these systems are normally created strong, lightweight, economical, and
versatile. When designed in combination with metal framing systems, catwalk
systems should be quickly and efficiently installed because the need for
welding is virtually eliminated.
Advantages of
Catwalk Systems
Below are the advantages of using a catwalk
mezzanine system for your material handling operations in a warehouse,
building, or facility center.
A
catwalk mezzanine essentially doubles your available floor space through
efficient use of the existing cube in your facility. It maximizes available
space without extending the area of your warehouse or creating additional
rooms.
The
open-air design of catwalk systems permits the flow of light and air while
preventing the build-up of water, grease, oil and other debris.
It
increases your productivity and minimizes moving expenses. It also eliminates
the need to rent, build or purchase additional space.
The
lightweight aluminum or pre-galvanized grating sections of the catwalk system
can reduce overall system dead load compared to bar-grating systems.
Finally,
it makes optimum use of existing heating, ventilating and cooling systems.
