Why choose mezzanine floor systems for your storage facility?
You’re not only investing in making every square metre count, but you’re creating flexibility in your operations. These structures can be easily disassembled and transported, so can go with you if you relocate. You can set them up in a new configuration that suits your new space, avoiding the costs and hassle of finding a specifically configured warehouse.
They also mean you can expand your storage space above your main floor without having to move your operations. This helps avoid the disruption of a relocation, maintain steady service for your customers, and cut down on the expenses and logistical challenges associated with moving your business.

Comparing types of mezzanine floors
Raised Storage Areas
Simple and practical in design, raised storage areas are a great mezzanine floor construction option, enabling you to triple the storage space you have. Raised floors are multi-tiered and are able to be reconfigured however you need them at any new location you may move to later down the track. You won’t have to leave your investment behind!
Rack-supported Mezzanine Floors
Rack-supported mezzanine floors consist of a floor space built above your ground floor within the current roof space. This free-space floor can be as large or as small as you need it to be. Used for archiving or additional product storage, they can store just about anything you need.
Rack supported floors are made from shelving, racking, and supporting steel to last in the long-term and in tough work areas.
Clearspan Mezzanine Floors
Utilise the extra space you have overhead and within your roof area by installing a Clearspan mezzanine floor. Clearspan mezzanine floors are in high-demand with warehouses that need additional space over their regular warehouse pallet racks as an extra work area or office space within your facility. Each mezzanine floor solution is tailored to our client needs.
This type of floor can be installed to allow extra storage within your current space, without having to purchase another facility or hire extra space. This can integrate very easily with current storage systems in place, is fully demountable and will not affect your floor space at all!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is meant by mezzanine floor?
A mezzanine floor is a platform that sits between your existing floor and the roof. In warehousing and logistics operations, a mezzanine floor can be hugely beneficial. They can open up your existing workspace, generate a greater storage capacity, and prolong the time in which your growing business can remain in its current location.
What is a mezzanine floor used for?
Mezzanine floors make it possible to utilise the space that sits between your working areas and the ceiling. They can be used to store tools, equipment and materials, and they can even be used to create office spaces and break areas for yourself and your staff.
How much does a mezzanine floor cost?
The cost of installing a mezzanine floor in your warehouse or industrial space will depend on a number of factors. The type of mezzanine flooring that you choose, and the size and scale. The best way to get an accurate idea as to how much the installation of a mezzanine floor will cost is to get in touch with us at Erect-A-Rack and schedule a consultation. As a guide, prices range from $400 per square meter to $850 per square meter depending on size.
How much weight can a mezzanine hold?
The load bearing capacity of a mezzanine flooring solution will vary between types and applications of use. At a minimum, a mezzanine floor should be built to handle at least 300 kilograms per square metre. For a comprehensive picture of what we can do for you, reach out to the team at Erect-A-Rack for a consultation.
Does a mezzanine count as a Storey?
A mezzanine is not typically counted as an additional storey within an existing structure. The exception being in cases where the mezzanine floor spans across an area that is greater than a third of your existing floor space.
Do mezzanine floors need planning permission?
As a mezzanine floor is a significant alteration to your existing warehouse or industrial space floor plan, planning permission is required prior to installation. Permits ensure your new development will adhere to local planning codes and workplace safety measures. Depending on the location of your business space, local permission guidelines may vary but it’s important to attain all required permits prior to building out your new mezzanine.
What is the minimum height for a mezzanine floor?
The minimum clearance height for a mezzanine floor is 2100mm from the ground to the underside clearance of the structure. It also applies to the clearance from the mezzanine floor to the ceiling in the building. This is a building regulation that must be followed for compliance and certification.
What is the difference between a loft and a mezzanine?
The term loft more often refers to an enclosed space that sits above a living or working area. They can be used as a secondary living, working or storage space, but typically do not feature the sorts of access or space that you can achieve with a mezzanine floor.
How do you build a mezzanine floor?
Well technically you don’t build it, we do. Our experienced mezzanine floor builders who have plenty of years of building inside warehouse spaces will construct your mezzanine level for you. Once all the surveying and planning has been carried out. The structure is bolted into the concrete slab that it will be anchored to in order to potentially create a usable space underneath for offices etc. The steel framework is put up first and secured. Then the flooring that will eventually become the mezzanine level is put into place.
What does mezzanine level mean?
The mezzanine level is an intermediate flooring which is constructed between the ceiling and the floor of a larger building. It is often open and used as a storage area or to create extra space for a home or warehouse environment by adding floorspace that was once non-existent. A mezzanine level is designed to cover a specific area rather than extending to become an entire extra storey.
What is a mezzanine floor plan?
Similar to a floorplan of any building, building a mezzanine floor requires plans also. A blueprint of how the structure will be built and the configuration of support, railings and stairs are all things that may be included in this type of plan. As apart of the Planning and Permit Process, we include all structural and engineering drawings for your project.
