Mezzanine Structures
Industrial Mezzanine Storage for Warehouses in BC
Many warehouse, distribution, and storage buildings have space above rooms or working areas that are empty for tens of feet up to the ceiling, leaving “dead air” that doesn’t optimize their available space. These zones can be put to good use with the creation of mezzanine floor space, where much-needed square footage for workers and product can be added virtually overnight.
Whether you are in need of structural mezzanines, storage units such as mezzanine shelving and pallet racks, or even modular offices to maximize your warehouse space, Hi-Cube has the mezzanine systems for your warehouse. See our mezzanine solutions below.
What is the height of a mezzanine floor in a warehouse?
Mezzanine floors require a minimum of 14 – 16 feet (4.2 – 4.9 meters) with at least 7 feet (2.1 m) of clear headroom above and below, though 8 – 9 feet (2.4 – 2.7 m) is preferred.

Key Factors When Choosing a Mezzanine System:
- Purpose & Usage – Heavy storage requires a higher load capacity than office space.
- Space & Layout – Consider ceiling height, column spacing, and overall footprint. Choose from free-standing or racking/shelving supported to fit your space.
- Load Requirements – Think about what is being stored, the total load capacity, and whether or not the existing floor slab can support that.
