Pallet racking in Emmaus, PA.

Emmaus stock generally runs 16-to-26-foot clear with tighter bays than the I-78 corridor buildings. Standard selective at 14-to-22-foot is the workhorse, with carton-flow pick faces for piece-pick operations and double-deep only where aisle geometry genuinely supports it. Where floor area is the binding constraint rather than height, a mezzanine or a pick module often returns more usable space than adding rack.

Often yes. In buildings where you are not buying height, the value of a new-rack manufacturer warranty is smaller and the 40-to-60% material savings on certified used rack goes a long way. Every used upright and beam we sell is inspected, brand-verified, and re-rated to its original capacity, so it meets the same ANSI/RMI standards as new. We will quote both so the tradeoff is visible rather than assumed.

Yes. Emmaus Borough administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and requires a building permit for rack systems, with stamped engineering drawings above threshold height and load. If commodity is stored above 12 feet, an IFC Chapter 32 high-piled combustible storage review applies and should be submitted alongside the building permit so the reviews overlap instead of stacking.
