Buy Used Pallet Rack in Columbia, SC
Columbia is close enough that customers drive up and look at the rack before they buy it. The yard is a little over ninety miles north on I-77.
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.

Where We Work
Where the Warehouses Are in Columbia, SC
The Midlands work as an inland distribution hub rather than a port market, and much of the space sits in Lexington County rather than the city.
Saxe Gotha Industrial Park
In West Columbia, Lexington County. The largest concentrated industrial park in the metro, with Nephron Pharmaceuticals, Amazon and Dominion Energy operating there.
803 Industrial Park
At Columbia Metropolitan Airport in Lexington County. UPS bases its Southeast regional air hub here, alongside a ground hub, FedEx Freight and a Norfolk Southern transload rail terminal, about a mile from I-26.
The Shop Road and Bluff Road corridor
Columbia's in-city industrial spine, at the I-77 interchange southeast of downtown.
Permitting
Permits in the Midlands
Inside the city, commercial plans go through the City of Columbia Planning and Development Services Department, specifically its Development Center, which is the single point of entry and runs concurrent review across several departments at once.
Fire review comes from the Columbia Fire Department's Fire Prevention Division, whose plans examiner reviews new construction and remodeling throughout the city.
One thing worth knowing: the fire department is a joint city-county agency, so the same organization covers Columbia and Richland County. Permit intake still splits by jurisdiction, and two of the largest industrial parks are in Lexington County rather than Richland.
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
South Carolina adds a state step for sprinkler shop drawings, and the local authority has to verify the submittal in the state system before the state fire marshal treats it as received. Get the walkthrough before the anchors go in, while changes are still cheap. How our permitting process works
Common Questions
Which county reviews my warehouse near Columbia?
It depends where the building sits. The City of Columbia handles projects inside its limits, but two of the metro's largest industrial parks, Saxe Gotha and 803, are in Lexington County rather than Richland.
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.
