Industrial mezzanines & steel stairs in Oakville.
Span Line builds and installs structural mezzanines, conveyor-support structures, and steel stairs for Oakville's manufacturing and distribution operations — Winston Park, North Oakville, and the QEW corridor.
In short: We're an Ontario fabricator serving Oakville with mezzanines, conveyor and equipment platforms, and stairs. The shop is ~30 minutes away via the QEW, so Winston Park and North Oakville sites get fast measures and installs, stamped to OBC 2024 and welded to CWB W47.1.

For Winston Park and the QEW.
Oakville pairs a major automotive presence with a solid base of manufacturing and distribution — Winston Park, the North Oakville employment lands, and the Wyecroft/Speers corridor, all threaded by the QEW, 403, and 407. It's a mix of assembly, parts, and warehousing, where conveyor crossovers, equipment platforms, and mezzanines all show up on the same sites.
Work over live lines is its own discipline — you're building above a running operation, so the crossover or platform has to be engineered and sequenced to go in without shutting the line down any longer than necessary. From Etobicoke, Oakville is a straight run down the QEW, which keeps that sequencing tight.
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.
Crossover bridges over a live conveyor.
For an Oakville operation we built two crossover bridges over a live conveyor — letting staff cross the line safely without a long shutdown. Building over a running conveyor means the structure, the guarding, and the install sequence are all designed around not stopping the line any longer than the lift itself takes.

Measure, stamp, build, install.
-
01
Site measure
A ~30-minute visit to capture the line layout, clearances, and crossing points — critical when the structure goes in over a running operation.
-
02
Stamped drawings
Engineered and P.Eng.-stamped to OBC 2024 in-house — the set the Town of Oakville 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.
-
04
Install on your window
Sequenced to minimise line downtime and installed by our own crew across Winston Park, North Oakville, and the QEW corridor.

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.
