Maximising Space Efficiency with a Custom Mezzanine Floor Solution for HTM Motorcycles

HTM Motorcycles, a large retailer specialising in Husqvarna and GasGas motorcycles, as well as a new range of E-bikes and Street Bikes, faced a pressing need for additional storage space to accommodate their expanding inventory. Limited by their existing premises and unable to expand with an additional warehouse, HTM sought an innovative storage solution to address their space constraints.

Challenge:

Philip, the proprietor of HTM Motorcycles, found his business rapidly outgrowing the current storage capabilities. The introduction of new product lines exacerbated the demand for space, and with the physical limitations of the site, constructing a new building was not an option. This spatial challenge threatened to stifle HTM's growth and their ability to offer a wider range of products.

Solution:

The breakthrough came when in the race paddock during a local enduro event Philip discussed his storage predicament with Niall, our Company Director at Toddsleap, . Understanding the constraints and potential of HTM's existing facilities, Toddsleap proposed the installation of a mezzanine floor within one of the old workshops. The workshop's generous ceiling height made it an ideal candidate for a mezzanine addition, which would effectively double the usable floor space without the footprint of a new structure.

Implementation:

Our team at Toddsleap managed a seamless design phase, ensuring that the proposed mezzanine floor adhered to HTM's specific needs and space. The project progressed smoothly from design to delivery, with the floor arriving as scheduled and the installation completed within a mere three days—significantly less than the estimated time frame.

Outcome:

The new mezzanine floor has revolutionised HTM's storage capacity, enabling the display and housing of their expanded motorcycle and apparel ranges. Additional staircases integrated into the design have facilitated easy access to the upper level, improving operational efficiency for HTM's team.

Additional Benefits:

Aside from the practical benefits, the installation process itself was a rewarding experience for our Toddsleap installers—many of whom are motorcycle enthusiasts. The opportunity to immerse themselves in an environment filled with high-quality motorcycles and apparel was a welcome bonus.

Conclusion:

Toddsleap is proud to have collaborated with Philip and the dedicated team at HTM Motorcycles. By understanding their unique needs and delivering a bespoke mezzanine floor solution, we have contributed to HTM's ongoing success and their ability to adapt and thrive within the competitive motorcycle retail market.
