Warehouse mezzanines are the perfect solution for business expansion, instantly creating a second floor within your existing building to utilize vertical space. This allows you to add storage, equipment, or office space without the cost and hassle of new construction or moving. Yankee Supply provides both custom-built and standard mezzanine systems, installed nationwide, to help your business grow efficiently.
Rack-Supported Mezzanine — Uses pallet rack as the structural support for the platform above, making it the most economical mezzanine option when rack storage is needed below the platform anyway.
Structural Steel Mezzanine — A free-standing system with its own independent columns, offering the widest clear spans and no dependency on racking below.
Shelf-Supported Mezzanine — Uses industrial shelving as the structural support, a cost-effective option for medium loads where shelf storage is needed underneath.
Mezzanine systems typically run $15–$40 per square foot depending on type, size, height, and load requirements. Cost factors include mezzanine type, load capacity, overall size, access requirements (stairs, gates, lifts), and fire suppression needs.
Standard heights: 8′, 10′, 12′. Standard load capacities: 125–250 lbs per square foot. Fire suppression considerations and stairway/egress requirements should be reviewed early in planning, as they affect both design and permitting.
Building permits are generally required for mezzanine installations in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Yankee Supply manages the permit process on your behalf. Requirements vary state by state, so it’s worth confirming specifics for your municipality early in the project.
Pre-owned mezzanine systems are available and typically save 30–50% compared to new. Contact us for current used mezzanine stock and availability.
