Storage platform
Would you like to increase your storage area with a mezzanine platform? Take advantage of our expert advice to find the right platform solution for your storage needs: long-span platform, single-level racking or with aisles. Our mezzanine platform solutions are all scalable, modular and optimized for your working environment.
Our rack-mounted platform solutions
Our comprehensive range of metal shelving for light and heavy indoor and outdoor storage enables us to offer racking platform solutions tailored to every sector of activity and storage need.
Our light shelving systems such as Protub (tubular), Prospace (light workshop shelving), Proclass (archive shelving) or Promag 3 (gondolas) can be used in complete safety to support platforms, aisles or traffic, as can our Prorack+ (light-heavy shelving), Prodyn+ (dynamic shelving), Propal 3 (pallet racks) and Cantipro (cantilever) medium-heavy and heavy shelving systems. Their many applications in industry and the secondary and tertiary sectors mean they can be adapted to every specific storage need.
The levels of our racking platforms can also be easily adapted in height, with adjustable pitches and a large number of standard dimensions available, enabling you to exploit the floor space of your warehouse in the most efficient way possible.
Single-level or aisle storage platforms

Solution
Tailor-made
2 types of storage platforms can be created using our professional shelving systems:
- Single-level storage platforms, where the racking creates an additional level that can be used to create new storage locations or accommodate new activities;
Platforms with circulation aisles, where the aisles used by pickers for picking operations are supported by high-bay racks.

Proplus LP3: our long-range storage platform
Manufacturing
Provost
Solution
Tailor-made
Our Proplus LP3 metal platform solution is suitable for all sectors and all types of activity. It is based on a modular structure that can evolve over time, and comprises 4 basic elements: posts for load transfer, primary beams bolted to the posts, secondary beams attached to the primary beams, and a choice of flooring (wood, sheet metal or grating). Easy delivery, installation and assembly make this an economical and robust storage platform solution.
Like our mezzanines and racking platforms, our Proplus LP3 steel platforms can be stacked several levels high to make the most of floor space.

Installation of a 2,500 m² storage platform
Since March 2020, Cubyn has been faced with growing demand from its e-merchant customers. Faced with this situation, an urgent expansion of its 6,000m² warehouse in Gennevilliers was necessary.
The objective was clear: increase storage space by a factor of 2.5 without interrupting ongoing operations.
Provost's solution was to exploit the full height of the storage building and install a 2500m² Proplus LP3 mezzanine platform equipped with Prospace+ sheet metal shelving.
In just 8 weeks of assembly, we successfully met Cubyn's challenges: to complete the work without disrupting the order-picking activity, and to install 100 platform posts without disturbing the operators in the heart of the picking cell.
For a customized warehouse storage project, Provost adapts to your business and is ready to meet your needs.
Project Cubyn
Cubyn is a start-up specializing in logistics for e-tailers. The company offers a logistics outsourcing service including warehousing, order preparation, packaging and parcel dispatch.
The project
Following exponential demand from its e-merchant customers, Cubyn urgently needed to fit out a 6,000m² logistics warehouse.
The Provost solution
Use the full height of the building with a mezzanine platform, multiplying the storage area by 2.5. At the same time, the logistics provider was able to maintain its order-picking activity during assembly.
- 2500 m2 platform
- 10 km of linear track
- 100 posts
Installation of a logistics storage platform with no interruption to operations
By proposing to use the height of the building and install a 2,500 m2 platform equipped with sheet metal shelving within a short timeframe, Provost was able to meet Cubyn's requirements.
Customer benefits
- Storage area multiplied by 2.5, i.e. an additional 2,500m² with 10 km of developed shelving.
- Business activity maintained during installation.
- Storage of a wide variety of items (different product formats: cosmetics, clothing, toys, electronics, etc.) with a single storage solution.

How to organize your storage platform?
The organization of an industrial storage platform is essential to maximize operational efficiency and optimize available space. Classify items according to size, weight, frequency of rotation and fragility (use labels or barcodes, or a merchandise management system to facilitate location). Use shelving adapted to the type of goods stored (pallet racking, cantilever racking, shelving, etc.). Organize shelving logically according to your stock management method (FIFO/LIFO). Take advantage of building height by using forklift trucks and appropriate handling equipment. Use compact storage solutions such as mobile shelving to save floor space. Divide the storage platform into dedicated areas for different types of goods or processes (receiving, storage, order picking, shipping, etc.). Establish clear procedures for moving goods between zones to ensure smooth and efficient circulation.
How to secure your storage platform?
Safety is a top priority in an industrial warehousing environment to protect workers, goods and equipment. Train staff in good handling and equipment use practices. Install protective devices such as guardrails, safety barriers and safety zones around handling equipment. Ensure that forklifts and other equipment are equipped with audible and visual warning systems to prevent collisions. Install video surveillance systems to monitor storage areas Restrict access to the storage platform to authorized persons using access cards or other identification methods. Develop an emergency plan to deal with incidents such as fires, chemical leaks or workplace accidents.
How much does a storage platform cost?
Many factors come into play when determining the price of a storage platform: surface area and height to be equipped, type of equipment required and/or type of goods to be stored. So it's best to ask our team for a customized quote.
