Why Pallet Rack Permits Matter
Industrial storage systems must meet strict safety and local building codes.

Navigating the Permit Process

Building Permits vs. Fire Safety Permits

Most installations require two types of permits:

  • Building Permits – Focused on structural integrity, these require detailed engineering calculations to confirm the system’s stability and load capacity.
  • Fire Safety Permits – Ensuring fire code compliance.

 

Regional Differences & Requirements

Permit requirements vary by location. Some jurisdictions may mandate:

  • Stamped physical documents
  • Digital application submissions
  • On-site inspections during installation
  • Custom structural engineering assessments
  • Verification of compliance with local codes
