Mezzanine packing systems let warehouses maximize their available floor space by adding multiple stories of surface to place products on. These highly adaptable storage solutions are ideal for warehouses that focus on manual picking and sorting, as well as non-palletized loads and products with non-standard dimensions. Moreover, our mezzanine packing systems can be combined with other racking or shelving setups to create a fully integrated warehouse storage solution.
Choose a reliable manufacturer like iWarehousing for your warehouse storage system needs. We are industry experts who design, create, and assemble modular mezzanine storage solutions with superior durability and load-bearing capacity. You’ll also have continuous support from seasoned consultants, designers, and engineers throughout the sourcing process.
Multi-level work platforms increase storage capacity without the need for building expansion.
Adjust heights and layouts freely to match changing workflow needs.
Designed for cartons, bins, or loose goods, it enables manual picking without pallets.
Integrated guardrails, anti-slip floors, and toe boards ensure operator safety.
Optional chutes or conveyors connect levels for seamless transfer of small items.
Take advantage of existing warehouse height to avoid relocation or new construction costs.
Ideal for manual small item operations requiring flexible vertical storage solutions.

Mezzanine racking is a space-maximizing storage solution that creates one or more elevated working platforms within a warehouse. It systematically utilizes vertical cube space by combining a structural steel platform (the mezzanine deck) with integrated racking systems installed either underneath, on top of, or on both levels.
It is ideal for facilities needing to add functional floor space without expanding their building footprint. Common applications include creating additional storage or picking levels, office space, production areas, or parts departments above existing ground-floor operations.
Load capacity is a critical design variable. While typical commercial mezzanine floors support 150 psf to 300 psf (approx. 300–600 kg/m²), the required capacity depends entirely on its intended use (e.g., bulk storage, office space, or production). The system must be engineered to your specific live and dead load requirements.
The primary structure is built from high-strength structural steel columns and beams. The decking is typically steel bar grating, plywood, or concrete-filled metal deck. Safety features include standard guardrails, toe boards, and stairways or gates.
Yes, when designed to code and properly installed. Safety is ensured through features like anti-slip decking surfaces, full perimeter guardrails, properly anchored stairways, and adequate lighting. Adherence to OSHA (or local equivalent) regulations is mandatory.
Almost always, yes. Because it is a permanent structural addition, most jurisdictions require building permits and engineer-stamped drawings to verify compliance with local building, fire, and safety codes, especially regarding load, egress, and sprinkler coverage.
Unlike purely horizontal (racking) or vertical (ASRS) density solutions, a mezzanine is a space-creation system. It does not just store goods; it adds a new, accessible level for diverse operations. It is the optimal choice when the goal is to generate new floor space within the existing building envelope for any purpose, not just storage.
Most systems are modular and can be disassembled for relocation or reconfiguration. However, this is a significant project. Relocation requires new site evaluation, potential design modifications, and professional re-installation to ensure all safety and code standards are met at the new location.
Installation time varies with size and complexity. A standard pre-engineered system may take a few days to two weeks for a professional crew. Larger, custom, or projects requiring significant utility work (electrical, fire protection) will take longer. Detailed project planning minimizes operational disruption.
Follow this decision framework:
Need Analysis: Do I need additional functional space (for storage, offices, etc.) more than I need just denser racking? Is my ceiling height sufficient (typically 15 ft / 4.5m minimum)?
Regulatory Path: Am I prepared to navigate the permitting process with engineered drawings?
Financial & Operational Consideration: Does the cost of adding a mezzanine compare favorably to the cost of relocating or expanding my facility? Can my operations tolerate the installation period?
Consultation: Engage a qualified mezzanine supplier or engineer early. They can conduct a site survey, discuss usage needs, provide layout options, and guide you through the entire process from design to code compliance.
