New mezzanine helps Dundeis Ltd bring food production back to Northern Ireland
When Dundeis Ltd found a site in the Moy area, the food processor saw an opportunity to bring the production side of its nuts, snacks and health foods business back to Northern Ireland. To make the premises work, the company needed a production line that could run across two levels and a practical way to get ingredients to the upper floor.
Toddsleap Racking & Shelving Ltd supplied and installed a new mezzanine measuring approximately creating 100 m² of production space within the building.
A floor designed around the production line
The production equipment called for a higher load capacity than a standard mezzanine floor. The floor specification accounted for those loads, with openings built into the layout so that sections of the production line could pass between the upper and lower levels.
Getting ingredients onto the mezzanine was just as important. A pallet gate on the upper floor lines up with an opening in the adjoining wall, allowing a forklift operator in the next room to lift palletised ingredients directly onto the production floor.
Handrails and kick plates protect the exposed edges of the floor. Below the mezzanine, knee bracing at the columns provides additional support while keeping access routes open at ground level.
Meeting the installation deadline
We sourced the new floor through our established supplier network and coordinated delivery with our own installation team. Our installers completed the work within Dundeis Ltd’s required timeframe, giving Matthew and his team the space and access they needed for production at the Moy site.
“I’m really pleased we could help Matthew make this project a reality. The floor had to work for the people using it every day, from the forklift operator lifting ingredients through the wall to the team running the line across both levels. We had a tight turnaround, and our suppliers and installers pulled together to get it finished when Matthew needed it.”
