Rack Supported Mezzanine Floors
What are Rack Supported Mezzanine Floors?
Rack Supported Mezzanine Floors use Racking Underneath to support them. This gives you additional storage and can be a cost-effective method of adding a mezzanine floor to your Melbourne warehouse.
Mezzanine flooring systems, also known as raised storage areas, are an ideal way to add more storage without having to relocate to larger premises. And even if you do need to move in the future, you can take mezzanine floors with you as they are completely relocatable.
Compatible with all industrial purposes, rack supported mezzanine floors have racking beneath them to provide additional shelving and storage. You can use new or existing pallet racking and using mezzanine floor solutions, increase your storage capacity dramatically at a cost that won’t blow your budget. Rack-supported mezzanine floors can be surfaced in timber or wire mesh.
If you have overhead or roof space that’s empty or can be better utilised, consider mezzanine floor construction as your best alternative to traditional shelving.

Components of a good quality mezzanine racking system
Beams – the horizontal structural steel pieces that sit on top of the columns.
Columns – these are the posts that support the floor and are anchored into the concrete slab underneath.
Joists – these are the steel purlins that are fixed in place and run perpendicular to the main beams and the flooring sheets are affixed on top.
Flooring – the floor is fixed onto the joist level and can be constructed from various materials including wood and metal sheeting.
Pallet gates – sliding, rollover or swing access gates are available and will be entirely dependent on the type of operation and budget you have. With these gates, pallets are able to be transferred onto the platform more easily.
Guard rails – a top handrails and mid rail at knee level that are supported by poles and attached to the flooring. This provides safety for anyone moving around the mezzanine level.
Stairs – these are the access points for the mezzanine levels and can be positioned at various heights and locations of the layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary advantages of installing rack supported mezzanine floors in a warehouse?
The biggest advantage is cost-efficiency. By using the shelving system itself as the structural base, you eliminate the need to purchase and install heavy structural steel columns. This allows you to double your storage capacity and utilise wasted roof space without the higher costs associated with standard structural platforms.
How much weight can a pallet rack supported mezzanine safely hold?
Load capacities are highly customisable based on your specific operational requirements. They can be expertly engineered for light hand-picking walkways (around 3kPa) all the way up to heavy-duty levels designed for bulk pallet storage and equipment handling.
Does a pallet racking mezzanine floor comply with local safety regulations?
Yes, every system designed by Erect-A-Rack strictly complies with Australian Safety Standards. We incorporate all essential safety features, including industrial staircases, robust perimeter handrails, kickboards, and secure pallet access gates to ensure a 100% compliant and safe working environment.
Can a rack supported mezzanine be relocated if our business moves to a new facility?
Yes, absolutely. Because the structure is built using modular shelving components and bolted connections rather than permanent welding, the entire system can be dismantled, transported, and reconfigured in your new premises as your business grows.
Is it possible to integrate multi-tier shelving into our mezzanine racking?
Yes, multi-tier configurations are one of the biggest benefits of this system. We can design and install up to three-tier structures, allowing you to create high-density picking zones and maximise every cubic metre of your warehouse space.
How long does it take to install rack supported mezzanine floors compared to traditional platforms?
Because these systems utilise standard shelving components rather than requiring custom-fabricated heavy steel, the lead times and installation processes are generally much faster. This ensures minimal downtime and disruption to your daily warehouse operations.
