CCL completed the installation of three mezzanine floor conveyor systems at a major retail outlet in the Midlands. The project photographs below show the completed equipment and provide an example of CCL's floor-to-floor conveyor work.

Conveyors for retail stockrooms and mezzanine floors

A mezzanine creates additional space, but goods still need a practical route between levels. Inclined belt conveyors can connect ground-floor handling with an upper storage, picking or production area. The arrangement must suit the actual goods, building and loading points.

For a retail project, the enquiry should explain how deliveries reach the conveyor, where goods are collected and whether movement is required upwards, downwards or in both directions. These details help define the layout and operating sequence.

Plan the complete transfer

Provide the smallest and largest product sizes, maximum loaded weight, product base and required peak throughput. Show the floor heights, available footprint, doorways and loading positions on a marked-up plan. Include any existing conveyor or packing equipment that the new system must connect to.

A floor-to-floor conveyor needs suitable access, guarding and controls for its installation. Agree these requirements alongside the layout, including what happens when the receiving area is occupied and how maintenance access will be provided.

Planning a mezzanine conveyor around your building


For a new installation, send the floor-to-floor height, available footprint and the required loading and discharge positions. Include doorways, columns, operator routes and access needed for maintenance. The product and building need to be considered together.


Provide product dimensions, maximum weight, base material and required items per hour. State whether goods travel up, down or in both directions; the operating sequence and controls must be designed for the agreed use.



An installation still needs an application-specific assessment of guarding, access and safe operation. Include these requirements and the responsibility for building interfaces in the project scope.

Discuss your mezzanine conveyor project

Send your layout, product details and photographs of the proposed route. If you are still defining the specification, share the information you have so CCL can discuss the next step.
