Mezzanine Access Systems

Safe, Compliant Access Between Levels in Industrial Environments

Mezzanine access systems are essential for safely navigating elevated storage areas, work platforms, or intermediate plant spaces. Whether in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, or plant rooms, access to mezzanines must be secure, durable, and fully compliant with Australian safety standards.

Properly designed mezzanine access not only protects workers - it streamlines operations and ensures ongoing compliance with AS 1657:2018 and WHS regulations.

Engineered for Efficiency and Safety

Every mezzanine layout is different, and access systems need to adapt to various elevations, obstructions, and space constraints. Fixed stairs, platforms, and walkways provide reliable movement between levels, supporting both daily operations and emergency access requirements.

Safetylyne systems are designed to:

• Provide slip-resistant, guarded access to raised platforms or storage zones
• Meet minimum width and tread/riser requirements per AS 1657:2018
• Integrate with guardrails, handrails, and mid-rails for full fall protection
• Offer space-efficient configurations for compact or retrofit applications
• Support high-traffic environments with industrial-grade aluminium systems

What to Consider When Designing Mezzanine Access in Australia

When planning mezzanine access, it's critical to address:

• Clearances around racking, walls, and plant
• Guardrails and handrails at all exposed edges
• Loading areas, with swing gates or access barriers where needed
• Emergency egress, ensuring unobstructed stairways and multiple access points
• Fall protection, especially where workers move between levels or near drop-offs

Installing access systems during the design stage simplifies compliance, prevents retrofitting costs, and ensures that maintenance teams can operate safely and efficiently over time.

Applications



Mezzanine access systems are commonly used in:

• Warehousing and logistics centres
• Manufacturing and assembly facilities
• Industrial plant rooms and service areas
• Food and pharmaceutical production sites
• Chemical and mechanical storage platforms

Safe and Efficient Mezzanine Access

Proper access to mezzanine levels is essential for safe movement of personnel, equipment, and materials during maintenance or daily operations. Well-designed systems reduce fall risks, support compliance, and improve efficiency in industrial and commercial environments.

Key Access Solutions for Mezzanine Areas Include:

• Fixed aluminium stairs for safe, regular access to mezzanine floors
• Gantries and walkways for secure movement between elevated zones
• Step-over units for navigating over low barriers, pipes, or obstructions
• Guardrails and edge protection to prevent falls
• Modular platforms to extend or adapt access routes as needed

All components are built from lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminium - ensuring long-term durability, low maintenance, and easy integration into existing structures.
