Equipment Platforms

Porta-King’s equipment platforms allow you to gain the second level space you need without incurring the cost of new building construction or leasing. These equipment platform structures create new areas for manufacturing and storage "out of thin air." Each equipment platform is engineered to provide a solution to your specific space requirements. Our design team focuses on how we can help you utilize the equipment platform so that it will provide the proper performance in a safe, efficient work environment.

Prefabricated equipment platforms are a cost effective and time efficient way to create additional space while maintaining the use of the existing floor space below. Utilizing unused ceiling space is a far more economical alternative to create equipment platforms when compared to the cost of creating additional space via new construction. The prefabricated design also saves time since all components to create the platform arrive on-site, ready for immediate installation.

Unlike many of our competitors, we’ll supply you with a truly prefabricated mezzanine system. All of our connecting hardware is pre-welded onto the structural components prior to shipping. Many of our competitor’s call their equipment platforms prefabricated, but that just means the various components used to construct their mezzanine are fabricated prior to shipping. Unlike a PK Structures mezzanine, this doesn’t always mean these components arrive welded to the structural components and ready to be bolted together

At Porta-King, we specialize in designing structural equipment platforms to satisfy the specific requirements of wide variety of applications. We ask questions to understand the intended use of the equipment platform to ensure the final decision will satisfy your need for efficiency and safety under your planned working conditions.

The design of an equipment platform is not as simple as specifying a size and load capacity. As the use changes, so does the structural design. Most equipment platforms may be used to support machinery or equipment necessary to perform a specific function. Applications with high point loads require that special attention be paid to the ability of the deck to distribute these loads to the support members.  Porta-King’s professional design team will aid in designing an equipment platform that will meet the exact needs of your facility.

If not, we’ll be happy to custom design a layout to create an equipment platform that meets your exact specifications. We also offer free on-site design assistance and turn-key installation services through our nationwide network of Porta-King representatives.
