Used Pallet Racking
Used Pallet Rack Charlotte, NC
Used beams, uprights and wire decking for Charlotte warehouses, at a fraction of the cost of new. We deliver and install.
Rack From Our Own Yard
Charlotte is home. Our yard sits on Westinghouse Boulevard in Steele Creek, just off I-77, and the used rack we sell is stacked there. You can drive over and look at it. Kyle will walk the rows with you and tell you what we have in the sizes you need.
Buy Used Pallet Rack in Charlotte, NC
We are a Charlotte company. The yard on Westinghouse Boulevard is where used rack comes back to after our crew pulls it out of a warehouse, and where it sits until somebody buys it.
So when you ask how many 16-foot uprights we have, somebody walks outside and counts. You are not waiting on a broker to call a yard in another state.
Used rack runs a third to half off new, depending on condition. We install it too, so the same crew that loads the truck can set the system in your building.

Used Wire Decking
Wire decks let sprinklers reach every level through the mesh, which often keeps in-rack sprinklers out of the design.

Where We Work
Where the Warehouses Are in Charlotte, NC
Most of the rack we deliver in Charlotte goes to one of three parts of town.
Steele Creek and Westinghouse Boulevard
Southwest of uptown, where I-77 meets I-485. This is our own neighborhood, so these jobs are a short drive and we know the buildings.
The airport corridor
Norfolk Southern built its Charlotte Regional Intermodal Facility on airport property, on about 200 acres between two runways. Warehouses followed the rail and the air freight. Charlotte Douglas moved roughly 205,700 tons of cargo in 2024.
The I-85 corridor northeast
Running toward University City and Concord, with newer distribution buildings along the interstate.
Permitting
Permits in Mecklenburg County
Charlotte splits this in a way that catches people from out of town. Your building permit does not come from the city. It comes from Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement, part of the county's Land Use and Environmental Services Agency, and that holds true for buildings inside Charlotte city limits.
Fire review is the city's job. The Charlotte Fire Department's Fire Marshal's Office handles it inside the city line. Cross that line into Matthews, Huntersville, Cornelius or the other towns and fire review goes to the Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal's Office instead.
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
We work in both offices regularly. Tell us the address and we will tell you who reviews it. Get the walkthrough before the anchors go in, while changes are still cheap. How our permitting process works
Common Questions
Who issues the building permit for a warehouse in Charlotte?
Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement, even for buildings inside Charlotte city limits. Fire review is separate and goes to the Charlotte Fire Department's Fire Marshal's Office when the building is in the city.
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.
