Used Pallet Racking
Used Pallet Rack Atlanta, GA
Used beams, uprights and wire decking for Atlanta warehouses, at a fraction of the cost of new. We deliver and install.
Getting Rack to Atlanta
Atlanta is a straight run down I-85 from Charlotte. We buy and sell used pallet racking across the country and install it, so this is routine work for us. Kyle can quote the rack and the freight together.
Buy Used Pallet Rack in Atlanta, GA
Atlanta is the Southeast's distribution hub, and the warehouse space runs in every direction out of the perimeter. Most of it is not inside the city limits.
Used rack runs a third to half off new, depending on condition. On a market this size we often end up mixing, using what the yard has and filling the gaps with new rack.

Where We Work
Where the Warehouses Are in Atlanta, GA
The metro is usually split into submarkets, and four of them matter most for racking.
I-20 West and Fulton Industrial
West of the city, largely in unincorporated Fulton County and the City of South Fulton. The deepest stock of older bulk warehouse in the metro.
Northeast Atlanta
The I-85 North corridor through Gwinnett, which has been the market's demand engine, with nearly 13 million square feet leased in 2025.
The airport and south metro
College Park, East Point, Union City and Fairburn, pulled by Hartsfield-Jackson air cargo and the CSX intermodal ramp at Fairburn.
I-75 South into Henry County
McDonough, Stockbridge and Locust Grove, the newest big-box belt. Ryder built a 44 million dollar distribution center at Locust Grove, and NewCold's cold-chain facility is the largest single investment in Henry County's history.
Permitting
Permits in the City of Atlanta
Inside the city, building permits come from the Office of Buildings within the Department of City Planning. Fire authority sits with the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department's Office of the Fire Marshal.
The city code is direct about it. Atlanta makes it unlawful to construct or alter any commercial building without construction document approval from the fire chief or a designee, so fire sign-off is not optional or an afterthought.
One local step that catches people on greenfield sites: if the project may affect trees, an arborist meeting has to be scheduled and completed before you submit.
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
The bigger point is that the authority changes the moment you cross out of the city, into unincorporated Fulton, South Fulton, Union City, Fairburn or Henry County. Most big-box space is out there.

Common Questions
Does the City of Atlanta permit my warehouse?
Only if the building is inside the city limits. Most of the metro's big-box space sits in unincorporated Fulton, South Fulton, Union City, Fairburn or Henry County, each with its own building department and fire marshal.
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.
