Mezzanine Floor Access

Park K StaircaseStaircases

The type of staircase you have, depends on your application. If you have a storage platform mezzanine then usually a steel part K staircase is sufficient.

Document M Ambulant Staircase-1If you are designing an office mezzanine with a permanent workstation at first floor level, then you will need a Document M Ambulant staircase. This means the risers are shallower and the staircase itself is wider. There are also different rules and regulations for a public access staircase, where balustrading with 100mm gap maximum is introduced.

Some staircases will need a mid landing or top landing, dependent on the chosen design. HMF will design and provide expert advice on the type of staircase which is right for your application.

There are a number of alternative staircases which we can also provide, including transfer staircases, external galvanised staircases and spiral staircases.

Cat Ladder

Cat Ladders

Another way to access your floor is via a cat ladder. These are generally installed on plant area mezzanines. It can also be used as a secondary means of escape when Building Control deem this to be an appropriate practice.

Passenger LiftLifts

Hampshire Mezzanine Floor can incorporate passenger, goods and platform lifts into any mezzanine floor design. Passenger lifts are required in public places to allow disabled access. In other circumstances you may wish to have a goods lift simply to enable heavy stock to be safely transferred from the ground to first floor level. A platform lift is a DDA compliant lift for the safe movement of wheelchairs between floor levels.
