Industrial mezzanines & steel stairs in Barrie.
Span Line builds and installs structural mezzanines, work platforms, and steel stairs for Barrie's distribution and manufacturing base — the industrial areas along the Highway 400 corridor.
In short: We're an Ontario fabricator serving Barrie with mezzanines, platforms, and stairs, stamped to OBC 2024. Barrie is about an hour up Highway 400, within our install range, with shipping for supply-only orders.

For the Highway 400 belt.
Barrie anchors the industrial belt north of the GTA — distribution, manufacturing, and building-supply operations across the Bell Farm and Caplan industrial areas and the employment lands strung along Highway 400 through Barrie and Innisfil. As the region grows, so does the pressure to make more of each building, which is where a storage mezzanine or a work platform comes in.
Highway 400 puts Barrie within a comfortable install run of the shop — a bit over an hour. That keeps measures and installs on schedule, and modular bolt-together detailing is there for supply-only orders when a local crew handles the set.
Steel that solves a floor problem.

A ~30-minute visit to capture column centres, clear heights, and slab condition across Barrie's industrial stock.

Stamped drawings
Engineered and P.Eng.-stamped to OBC 2024 in-house — the set the City of Barrie Building Services needs for the permit.
-
03
In-house fabrication
Cut, welded, and finished at our shop to CWB W47.1 — not white-labelled out. Galvanizing or shop primer as the environment calls for.

Install or supply
On most Barrie projects we install with our own crew up Highway 400; for supply-only orders we ship contractor-ready with erection drawings.
See the full engineering & install process for how each stage is controlled.
Span Line Systems is the industrial mezzanine and stair division of Art Metal Canada. Drawings are stamped by a PEO-licensed P.Eng. on staff; welding is done to CWB W47.1 and CSA W59 by our own certified fabricators. We don't white-label the fabrication or subcontract it out — the shop that draws it builds it.
