Do I Need A Permit for My Warehouse Pallet Racking?
Do I need pallet rack permits? A question we field a lot during the course of our
work and the answer is probably. Most cities require permits on any racking
over 5′ 9″ tall. Whether you choose to get permits is up to you, but we highly
recommend doing so to insure public safety, health and welfare.
How do I apply for a permit? Here at
The Safety Source, we’ll handle your permit needs to ensure all regulations and
city codes are being followed! If you are unsure whether a building permit is
needed for your project, see the guide below!
Required Permits What permits are actually required? There’s two: Building
Permits and Fire Permits. Some cities automatically include the Fire Permits in
their permitting process, check with your city’s Permit Division.
Building
Permit
Most cities require building permits for industrial storage
racks that are over 5’ 9” high. In addition, this includes pallet rack and
shelving.
Fire
Permit
Product stored above 12’ have a specific designation. For
highly flammable products, anything over 6′ may be deemed High Piled Storage. A
High Piled Storage permit requires more involvement from the Fire Marshal who
will assess the flammability of the product being stored, and the adequacy of
the fire sprinkler system.
Permit Fees Like many building permit fees, the permit fees for
warehouse racking systems are typically a percentage of the total value of the
project. Fees can vary widely, but we commonly see them in the range of 10-30%
of the racking value + installation cost.
Pallet Rack Permit Process There are several steps to obtaining permits for warehouse
storage racking. Luckily for you, one of
our project managers will address all the necessary questions to make this
process smooth! While the exact steps
can vary by county or state, here is an overview of the typical process:
1.
CAD Drawings CAD Drawings are
prepared to show floor and site plans, including the location of the racking
equipment within the building, aisles, ingress, egress, rack dimensions, beam
elevations, and more.
2.
Seismic Calculations Seismic calculations are
a required part of the permit process in most states. Calculations are based on
the specific configuration of racking in your warehouse, and the estimated
loads you intend to place on the racking.
3.
Permit Documents
We’ll fill out the necessary documentation to pull an
initial permit for the racking. Secondly, we submit the documentation and work
with the local government to process the initial permit.
4.
Installation Once the initial
permit has been pulled,
pallet rack installation can
begin. Our professional rack installers will install the racking in accordance
with all city/county/state codes.
5.
Special Inspection
The permitting authority requires an independent testing company
to verify the rack was installed and anchored properly.
6.
Final Inspection
The permitting authority performs their final inspection to
verify the installation meets all requirements.
7.
Final Permit
After a successful final inspection has been completed, the
permit moves into its ‘final’ stage. You
made it! Your storage pallet racking is
ready for use at this point!!
Let Us Help

steps in a warehouse racking project. Moreover, it’s a lot of paperwork,
communicating with multiple parties, and standing in line at the permit office. Let us at The Safety Source handle it for you!!
