Used Pallet Racking
Used Pallet Rack Asheville, NC
Used beams, uprights and wire decking for Asheville warehouses, at a fraction of the cost of new. We deliver and install.
Getting Rack to Asheville
Asheville is a few hours west on I-40. We buy and sell used pallet racking across the country and install it, so the mountains are not a problem. Kyle can quote the rack and the trucking together.
Buy Used Pallet Rack in Asheville, NC
Asheville is a different kind of racking market than Charlotte or Greensboro. Flat, developable land is genuinely scarce up there, so buildings tend to be smaller-bay and older than what an operator coming from the Piedmont expects.
That usually means matching rack to an existing building rather than filling a new shell. Used works well for it. Send us the ceiling height and the column spacing and we will tell you what fits.

Where We Work
Where the Warehouses Are in Asheville, NC
Most of the metro's larger industrial space sits outside Asheville itself.
Enka and Candler
West of town in Buncombe County. Enka Commerce Park is the metro's main Class A industrial park, built on about 200 acres of the former American Enka site, with new access roads and buildings opened in 2025.
The airport corridor
South toward Fletcher and Mills River in Henderson County. Ferncliff Industrial Park is out there, with Sierra Nevada Brewing and FedEx among the tenants.
Inside the city
Older industrial and flex space, mostly along the river bottoms. Some of it flooded during Helene, which still shapes what tenants will put at floor level.
Permitting
Permits in Buncombe County
Inside Asheville, building permits come from the City of Asheville Development Services Department, and the Asheville Fire Department's Fire Marshals Division handles fire prevention permits and commercial inspections.
Outside the city, Buncombe County Permits and Inspections handles building, and the Buncombe County Fire Marshal's Office covers fire and life safety inspections everywhere in the county except inside Asheville, Weaverville and Black Mountain city limits.
Watch the county line closely on this one. Enka and Candler are Buncombe County. Fletcher and Mills River, where a good deal of the airport-area space is, are Henderson County and a different authority again.
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
Asheville tiers its commercial review by project size, so where your job lands in that order affects the schedule. Get the walkthrough before the anchors go in, while changes are still cheap. How our permitting process works
Common Questions
Is there much warehouse space inside Asheville itself?
Not much modern big-box. Flat developable land is scarce, so most of the metro's larger industrial space is out in Candler and Enka in Buncombe County, or south toward Fletcher and Mills River in Henderson County.
How much can I save buying used pallet rack?
Used rack typically runs a third to half off new, depending on condition and what is available when you order. The exact number moves with what we have pulled out of warehouses recently.
Can I mix used and new rack in the same system?
Yes, as long as the sizes, load capacities and connection style are compatible. It is common on larger jobs, since the yard rarely holds every size in the quantity a full warehouse needs.
Do you install, or just deliver?
We do both. Stein is a licensed general contractor and our own crews handle installation, so the same company that sells you the rack sets it in your building.
Is used pallet rack safe?
We inspect what comes into the yard and give a condition rating on what we sell. Rack that is bent, cracked at the welds, or missing its capacity data does not go back out.
