01 Solid-pile storage and sorter permits
Not every warehouse runs on racking. Floor-stacked goods and sorter lines have permit rules of their own.

Solid-pile storage and sorter permits
→ The short version
Solid-piled storage and sortation lines can trigger the same high-piled storage review as racking. We lay out the piles, aisles and sorter footprint, then file the package with the fire code official.
02 What we cover
| No. | Item | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Solid-pile areas | Pile size, height, aisles and clearances drawn from what you store |
| 02 | Sortation systems | Sorter and conveyor footprints and how they change aisles and egress |
| 03 | Sprinkler review | How the piles and the sorter sit under the sprinkler system you have |
| 04 | Permit package | Plan of storage and commodity description, filed and carried through review |
03 Before you stack
Pile height and commodity class decide what the building can hold. A quick check before move-in costs far less than restacking later.
