Warehouse mezzanines
A mezzanine adds a second floor inside your building for storage, picking or offices. Freestanding steel mezzanines suit open space; rack-supported mezzanines use the racking itself to hold up the walkway, ideal for multi-level pick modules.

How it stacks up
Permits and engineering
In Ontario a mezzanine usually needs engineered drawings and a building permit from your municipality, and it will need a PSR where it applies. We manage the drawings, permit package and inspection with you.
Supplied, installed and certified
Whatever system you choose, RackGuy handles it end to end: components from our used stock where it makes sense, installation by our own crews, and a PSR and load signage so it's ready for inspection. How certification works.
Common questions
Do I need a building permit for a mezzanine in Ontario?
In most cases, yes. Mezzanines are structures under the Ontario Building Code and typically need stamped drawings and a municipal permit.
What's a rack-supported mezzanine?
A platform where the pallet or shelf racking carries the walkway load, creating multi-level pick aisles without a separate steel structure.
How long does a mezzanine take?
Design and permitting often take longer than installation. Plan on several weeks to a few months depending on your municipality.
