Macon sits at the break point between Atlanta and the Port of Savannah, which is why so much distribution space landed here.
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 Macon, GA
Macon-Bibb's industrial parks are mostly run by the county industrial authority and cluster along the interstates.
Ocmulgee East Industrial Park
East of town off I-16 at Exit 6, the first interstate access on the Savannah run. It has been building out since 1972 and supports around seven thousand jobs.
Sofkee Industrial Park
South Bibb, with a Norfolk Southern rail siding available across its 583 acres. Irving Tissue built a 470 million dollar plant there and announced a further expansion.
The I-75 Business Park
Straight interstate frontage on the Atlanta to Florida lane. Tyson Foods put 59 million dollars into expanding its Macon distribution center there.
Permitting
Permits in Macon-Bibb County
Macon is a simple market to permit in. The city and county consolidated into a single Macon-Bibb County government in 2014, so there is no separate city building department to deal with.
Building and fire plan review sit in the same office, the Macon-Bibb County Building and Fire Safety Department.
The Macon-Bibb County Fire Department's Fire Prevention Division is a second touchpoint. It checks new construction plans for water supply and access, so a warehouse project can see both offices.
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
A certificate of zoning compliance from the Macon-Bibb Planning and Zoning Commission has to clear before a building permit is issued, so start there. Get the walkthrough before the anchors go in, while changes are still cheap. How our permitting process works
Common Questions
Is permitting simpler in Macon than in other Georgia markets?
Generally yes. Macon and Bibb County consolidated into one government in 2014, and building and fire plan review sit together in the Macon-Bibb County Building and Fire Safety Department rather than in separate offices.
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.
