Let’s Talk About Your Storage Needs
We’d love to meet with you to discuss what you’re looking for and how we can help.
Approvals and Permits
We’ll make sure that your warehouse mezzanine adheres to applicable building codes, industry standards, local seismic requirements, and your exact specifications. Prior to installation, we will inspect and evaluate your facility’s structure, slab, and soil, to ensure it can withstand the additional forces. Our designs are certified and stamped by a structural engineer.
After the installation, we’ll thoroughly inspect the mezzanine for safety and durability.
Pricing
A large warehouse mezzanine can cost $14-$15 per sq. ft., and up to $20 for smaller projects. Mezzanines built over existing shelving cost less because we’ll use existing structure for support.

Benefits of a Warehouse Mezzanine System
We’ll help you utilize the unused vertical space in your facility by designing and installing a custom warehouse mezzanine system.
Maximize Available Vertical Space
If your facility has a ceiling greater than 14 feet high, you might be a perfect candidate for a mezzanine system.
Installed above your existing machinery, storage, or racks, this system will give you an additional level where you can add offices, equipment, conveyers, or storage. With a warehouse mezzanine system, you can add 40% to 50% more usable space, at a fraction of the cost of expanding or relocating.
Partner with J&J Material Handling and gain this flexible space at a fraction of the cost of new construction and without the hassle of moving to a new location.
Gain Flexibility
What would you do with additional space? Here’s how some of our clients take advantage of this flexible solution:
- Double order-picking capabilities
- Add in-plant office space
- Machine guard to protect both your employees and equipment
- Equipment support and storage
- Elevated work platform
- Locations for overseeing operations
Custom Warehouse Mezzanine Design
Before we design and install a mezzanine system, our team will determine your facility’s needs and capabilities in supporting the system. We will meet with you, learning more about your operation and your desires and needs. Our engineer will evaluate your current setup, along with the thickness and quality of the concrete slab floor. We will also discuss potential placement of columns, supports, and shelving, so we can minimize the modifications to your current arrangement.
Fully-Customizable Options
When designing your warehouse mezzanine solution, we can use several decking solutions to meet your budget and your planned usage.
We typically use corrugated steel roof deck as the supporting underlayment, then add a floor surface that’s right for your operation. These flooring options include:
- Resin flooring (we use resin most often because it’s durable and easy to roll hand trucks over)
- High-density wood decking
- Plywood decking
- Concrete floor
- Diamond-plated steel decking
- Bar grating
To equip your new mezzanine, our team can include a variety of features to meet your specific needs:
- Safety gate
- Guard rail
- Staircases and landings
- High speed conveyors
- Storage units
- Automated storage units
- Pallet racks
- Picking modules
- Lifts
- Ceiling tiles
- Electric and lighting
- Chutes
- Hoists
- Gates
- Ladders

- Fire-retardant materials
