Buy Used Pallet Rack in Spartanburg, SC

Spartanburg County carries more distribution square footage than its population would suggest, and most of it is out along I-85 rather than in the city.

Used rack runs a third to half off new, depending on condition. We install it too, and when used cannot cover a whole job we mix in new rack for the rest.

Permitting

Permits in Spartanburg County

Spartanburg does something worth knowing about. Permitting and review of fire sprinklers, fire alarms and other suppression equipment is handled by the Building Department, not the fire department. The city says so plainly on its own fire prevention page, and the county is arranged the same way, with sprinkler and alarm permitting sitting under Building Codes.

Inside the city, that is the City of Spartanburg Building Inspections and Permits Department. The Spartanburg Fire Department's Office of Fire Prevention still handles fire plan review policy, code compliance inspections and the list of higher-hazard occupancies, which is where a rack storage warehouse lands.

Outside the city, where nearly all the real warehouse space is, Spartanburg County Building Codes runs it. Commercial jobs need separate building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, sprinkler and alarm permits, each with its own number for scheduling inspections.

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

Unincorporated Spartanburg County is covered by independent fire districts, each with its own fire marshal, so the address decides who inspects. Get the walkthrough before the anchors go in, while changes are still cheap. How our permitting process works

Common Questions

Who permits fire sprinklers in Spartanburg?

The Building Department, not the fire department. That holds for both the City of Spartanburg and Spartanburg County, where sprinkler and alarm permitting sits under Building Codes.

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.
