Hammerhead LLC can provide the pallet rack permit support you need to navigate through your city’s building department. We provide signed and stamped seismic calculations and drawings for our pallet rack systems, which are generally required in order to obtain permits. We work with you and the city to ensure a quick and organized transition of all required paperwork.
How long does it take to obtain permits for pallet racking?
Once all the necessary materials are submitted to your local city building department, a pallet rack permit usually takes anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on how busy the department is.
Does everyone need to get permits for pallet racking?
Most cities require permits for storage over 8 feet. It is the owner’s responsibility to verify whether they are required or not. Some cities vigorously enforce the codes, and your business can be red tagged (shut down) or fined (often double the amount of the cost for the permit) if you do not have permits. Our pallet rack permit support is here to assist throughout the process.
What is a high pile storage permit?
The fire department requires high pile storage permits for any storage over 12 feet in height. This involves reviewing the rack configuration, egress travel distances to exits, sprinkler capacities, aisles widths, type of building, type of product being stored and other fire related information.
