30+ Years Experience | Conesco Storage Systems
Conesco is headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, and supplies pallet racking for warehouses across the Denver metro and Front Range. Every system we sell ships with the engineering documentation Arapahoe County requires. New or used, our inventory includes uprights, beams, decking, and accessories built for the distribution and fulfillment operations concentrated along the I-25 and C-470 corridors.
We buy and sell all types of warehouse racking and material handling equipment. Our inventory for the Centennial and South Metro Denver area includes:
We stock replacement parts and racking add-ons for Denver-area warehouses. Contact our team to request a quote or sell your used pallet racking in Centennial.
The South Metro Denver submarket around Centennial and the I-25/C-470 interchange has become a logistics hub for companies that need proximity to the Denver Tech Center, DIA cargo operations, and Front Range highway access. Average industrial rents across the Denver metro hit $10.05 per square foot in Q3 2025, a 5.2% year-over-year increase. Southwest metro rents are running even higher at $11.84 per square foot.
We design racking layouts around the realities of Centennial and South Metro facilities: moderate clear heights, mixed-use warehouse configurations, and the fire code and structural requirements Arapahoe County enforces for permitted storage systems.
Selective, drive-in, push-back, and pallet flow racking systems sized for South Metro Denver distribution and fulfillment operations. We configure layouts around your dock door count, forklift fleet, and product mix. Every system we install in Arapahoe County comes with load capacity placards and anchoring that meets local building code.
Double your usable square footage without expanding your building footprint. Our mezzanines are common in Centennial operations where building footprints are smaller than what you’d find in larger industrial parks. We handle the structural engineering, Arapahoe County permitting, and installation.
We supply conveyor belts, rollers, and gravity conveyors for e-commerce fulfillment and distribution operations across the South Metro submarket. Systems are available in configurations that integrate with your existing racking layout and dock-to-stock workflow.
The Centennial and South Metro Denver industrial market serves a mix of technology, defense, logistics, and corporate distribution operations. Prologis operates 50 properties and 8.5 million square feet across the Denver metro. Link Logistics manages another 33 properties with 5.6 million square feet. Our racking systems support the same types of operations running in and around Centennial:
Colorado does not have a single statewide building code. Municipalities and counties adopt the International Building Code with their own local amendments. In Arapahoe County, racking systems over 8 feet tall require engineered plans and a building permit. That’s a higher threshold than most U.S. markets (many require permits at 5 feet 9 inches), but it still covers the majority of warehouse racking installations.
You’ll also need fire marshal approval for high-pile combustible storage above 12 feet (or above 6 feet for hazardous materials).
Conesco handles this from start to finish:
We’re headquartered right here in Centennial. We know what Arapahoe County reviewers look for because we’ve been pulling permits in this jurisdiction for over 30 years.
Centennial sits at the I-25 and C-470 interchange in South Metro Denver, about 15 miles southwest of downtown. The location gives warehouse operators direct access to the region’s major north-south and east-west freight routes. Denver International Airport is 30 minutes northeast and handles significant cargo operations for companies that need air freight access alongside ground distribution.
The Denver Tech Center is immediately adjacent. That proximity has made the South Metro submarket attractive to companies that need warehouse and distribution space close to their corporate offices. Historically, the area was defined by single-story offices and light industrial buildings, but more modern logistics facilities like Catalyst Industrial in Centennial have changed the mix.
Denver’s central U.S. location is the big draw for distribution. A warehouse in Centennial can reach both coasts by ground within two to three days. The metro serves as a distribution gateway for Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, and parts of Kansas and Nebraska. For companies with a national fulfillment strategy, Denver is often the third or fourth node after the coasts and Midwest.
The metro leased over 2 million square feet of industrial space in Q3 2025. Notable recent projects include Aero 70 in Aurora, Catalyst Industrial in Centennial, and Food Bank of the Rockies’ Aurora expansion. Light rail E and R lines run along I-25, connecting the South Metro to downtown Denver and Aurora for workforce access.
Centennial also has a municipal airport for general aviation and cargo, giving businesses an additional logistics option without routing through DIA.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pallet Racking Equipment in Centennial, CO.
Businesses across Centennial and the Denver metro save between 50% and 70% when they buy used pallet racking from Conesco instead of new equipment. A racking setup that costs $50,000 new often runs between $15,000 and $25,000 used. We inspect every piece we sell and confirm it meets the load requirements for your specific facility. Since we’re based right here in Centennial, we can evaluate your site and match used inventory to your exact needs faster than any out-of-state supplier.
Contact our team by phone or through the form on this page. Here’s how it works:
In most cases, yes. Arapahoe County requires a building permit for racking systems over 8 feet tall. That’s a higher threshold than many U.S. jurisdictions (California, for example, requires permits at 5 feet 9 inches), but it still applies to the majority of warehouse installations.
Non-fixed or movable racks under 5 feet 9 inches are generally exempt from permitting. Everything in between depends on your specific municipality’s amendments to the IBC. Colorado doesn’t have a uniform statewide building code, so Arapahoe County, the City of Centennial, and the City of Aurora may each have slightly different requirements.
You’ll also need fire marshal approval for high-pile combustible storage. Conesco provides PE-stamped engineered drawings and coordinates the permit process for you.
Colorado has moderate seismic risk. It’s lower than California or the Pacific Northwest, but the IBC still requires site-specific seismic analysis for all structural racking installations. Western Colorado has more active seismic zones, while the Front Range falls into a lower but non-zero category.
In practice, this means:
Racking sold as-is without engineering documentation will not pass an Arapahoe County plan review. We include seismic verification and PE-stamped drawings with every system we sell in the Denver market.
High-pile storage means combustible materials stored above 12 feet (or above 6 feet for hazardous materials) in an area exceeding 500 square feet. That covers most pallet-racked warehouse operations in Centennial and the Denver metro.
Fire marshal inspections in Arapahoe County typically happen every 1 to 3 years. The initial approval requires documentation including:
A qualified fire protection professional needs to review your sprinkler design against the proposed racking layout. Conesco coordinates with your fire protection engineer and handles the racking layout documentation required for approval.
All used pallet racking sold by Conesco is fully functional and load-tested.
Most standard sizes are in stock and ready for shipment. Because we’re headquartered in Centennial, delivery times to South Metro Denver facilities are shorter than you’ll get from national suppliers shipping from out of state.
Permitting timelines in Arapahoe County can add 2 to 4 weeks depending on plan check backlog. Conesco submits your permit package early so racking delivery aligns with permit approval. That way your installation crew isn’t waiting on paperwork.
Yes. Conesco provides delivery and professional installation throughout Centennial, the Denver metro, and the entire Front Range. Our install crews anchor every rack to code, set flue spaces per fire code requirements, and post load capacity placards at each bay.
We serve Centennial and surrounding areas including Aurora, Englewood, Littleton, Lone Tree, Parker, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, Denver, Commerce City, Brighton, and the DIA corridor.
If you’re closing, downsizing, or reconfiguring your warehouse, Conesco handles the entire liquidation. We assess your existing racking, offer fair market value, and manage safe teardown and removal. Our nationwide network of buyers helps Centennial businesses get strong returns on used pallet racking and material handling equipment.
The South Metro market sees regular turnover as companies outgrow their space, shift to larger facilities in Aurora or Commerce City, or consolidate operations. We’ve decommissioned and repurchased racking from facilities across the Denver metro, and since we’re local, we can usually have a crew on-site within a day or two of agreement.
Conesco specializes in warehouse equipment. That’s all we do. We know pallet racking, shelving, conveyors, and mezzanines. You get inspected, load-rated materials at transparent prices without bidding or uncertainty.
For Centennial and Denver metro projects, working with a local specialist matters. Auction houses sell racking as-is with no engineering support. Conesco includes structural verification, PE-stamped drawings from a Colorado-registered engineer, LARC documentation, and permit coordination for Arapahoe County. We’re ten minutes from most South Metro facilities and can be on-site the same day if something comes up during your project.
