Material Handling
Material Handling Supplier in Savannah, GA
Pallet rack, shelving, mezzanines and modular offices for Savannah warehouses. Designed, permitted, delivered and installed.
Warehouse Equipment for Savannah, GA
I-95 and I-16 meet at Garden City Terminal, with I-516 and the Jimmy DeLoach Connector moving trucks between the gates and the parks. CSX and Norfolk Southern both serve the market.
We handle the whole job rather than just selling the steel. Design, permitting, material, installation and, when the time comes, relocation. Stein is a licensed general contractor, so one company carries the project from the drawing through the final inspection.

Where We Work
Where the Warehouses Are in Savannah, GA
Most of the market's warehouse space is outside the City of Savannah, spread across several jurisdictions.
Garden City Terminal
The port itself, where I-95 and I-16 meet. I-516 and the Jimmy DeLoach Connector feed trucks from the terminal gates out to the parks.
Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub
Up in Rincon, Effingham County. Twenty-six hundred acres with both CSX and Norfolk Southern serving it, about twelve miles from the port.
Pooler and Port Wentworth
West and north of the city, each its own municipality with its own permitting office.
Permitting
Permits in Chatham County
Inside the city, building permits come from the City of Savannah Development Services Department, and the Savannah Fire Department's Fire Marshal's Office handles construction permits, inspections and plan review.
Savannah runs something genuinely useful here. The city holds two standing review meetings every week, a Building Plan Review on Thursday mornings and a Site Plan Review on Thursday afternoons, and the fire marshal sits in both. They are informal and open early in a project, which is the right time to bring a rack layout to them.
The Metropolitan Planning Commission is a separate joint city-county body in the site plan review chain, which surprises people coming from out of state. And most of the warehouse space is outside the city anyway, in Pooler, Port Wentworth, Garden City, or Effingham and Bryan counties, each with its own office.
Under the International Fire Code you need a permit once a building holds more than 500 square feet of high-piled combustible storage, and high-piled means the top of the load sits above 12 feet. That covers most pallet rack projects. The code itself is the same in every jurisdiction, but the forms you file and the reviewer who reads them change from one county to the next.
- Storage with the top of the load above 12 feet, whether rack, shelving or floor-stacked piles
- More than 500 square feet of high-piled storage area
- Combustible commodities, counting the carton and the wood pallet, not just the product
- A new tenant or a change of use in an existing building
Because the jurisdiction changes so often around here, we confirm which offices apply before drawings get made. Get the walkthrough before the anchors go in, while changes are still cheap. How our permitting process works
Used Equipment
We Buy and Sell Used Rack Too
Not every job needs new steel. We keep a used yard in Charlotte and sell out of it across the country, usually at a third to half off new. Kyle Austin runs that side and can tell you what is on the ground today.
It works the other way as well. If you are closing a Savannah warehouse, relocating, or clearing out rack you no longer need, we buy it. Small quantities and large ones, and our crew does the removal.
Buy Used Rack
