Industrial mezzanines & steel stairs in Cambridge.
Span Line engineers, builds, and installs structural mezzanines, equipment platforms, and steel stairs for Cambridge's manufacturing sector — the Boxwood and Hespeler industrial areas along the 401.
In short: We're an Ontario fabricator serving Cambridge with mezzanines, equipment platforms, and stairs, stamped to OBC 2024 and welded to CWB W47.1. Cambridge is about an hour down the 401, well within our install range, with shipping for supply-only orders.

For the 401 manufacturing corridor.
Cambridge is heavy on advanced manufacturing — a major automotive assembly presence plus a deep base of parts, metalworking, and machine shops across the Boxwood/Cambridge Business Park, Hespeler, and Preston, all hung off the 401 and highways 8 and 24. It's equipment-platform and process-access country as much as it is warehousing.
Manufacturing floors ask for platforms that carry machines, catwalks over lines, and access steel built to CWB weld standards — the kind of work where the structure follows the equipment, not a generic load table. At about an hour down the 401, Cambridge is comfortably within our install range, and modular detailing keeps supply-only orders clean.
Steel that solves a floor problem.
Storage mezzanines
Recover cube over racking or open floor — 125–500 psf decks for pallet and case storage.
Work platforms
Pick modules, pack-out decks, and value-add stations with conveyor pass-throughs.
Equipment platforms
Elevated support for HVAC, process equipment, and conveyor drives.
Egress & access stairs
Code-required exit stairs and mezzanine access towers to OBC §3.4.6.
Guardrails & handrails
42" industrial guarding, mezzanine edge protection, and pallet-drop gates.
Catwalks & access
Service walkways and crossovers over lines and equipment.
Measure, stamp, build, install.
-
01
Site measure
A ~30-minute visit to capture the machine footprint, access, clear heights, and slab condition — the detail that matters most on a manufacturing floor.
-
02
Stamped drawings
Engineered and P.Eng.-stamped to OBC 2024 in-house — the set the City of Cambridge Building Division 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.
-
04
Install or supply
On most Cambridge projects we install with our own crew; for supply-only orders we ship contractor-ready with erection drawings. Sequenced into your production schedule either way.
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.
