When to Build anOverhead Platform

Look UpWhen a food processing company comes to us looking for ways to expand their manufacturing line

without taking on the cost of a plant expansion, our first response is: look up.

Space AboveMore often than not, processing plants aren't effectively utilizing the space above

their product line - and have more than enough room to expand without a full-out plant expansion. Adding a second, third, or even fourth level in your plant opens up manufacturing and

storage space that is more than sufficient to meet your growing needs.

When to Build Up?An overhead platform is a great way to expand your manufacturing work space and

avoid the high cost of a full out plant expansion. But how do you know if installing anoverhead platform is the right solution for you?

Ask yourself the following questions:

Do we need more space but can’tafford to shut down or relocate?

An overhead platform is easy to install and increases your manufacturing and storage floor space without a lengthy shut down and is much cheaper than relocating.

#1

Do we have unused air spacein our plant that couldhouse a second level?

The space above your current manufacturing line often can house a second or third level of manufacturing space. Look up and see if you have space to expand.

#2

Are we leasing and can’t make any permanent changes to the space?

An overhead platform is the perfect solution to expanding in a leased space as it can beremoved if necessary at the end of your lease term – leaving no permanent changes to your space.

#3

Are we launching a new productline and want to keep our

overhead costs low?

An overhead platform is a much more cost-effective solution to launching a new product line than a full-out plant expansion. You can take the risk of investing in new product without the high overhead

cost that could lead to financial strain.

#4

Do we have plans to expand orrelocate in the future and need a

temporary solution now?

Not ready to expand or relocate just yet? An overhead platform will increase your manufacturing space until you are financially ready for a full-out plant expansion or relocation.
