30+ Years Experience | Conesco Storage Systems
Conesco supplies and installs pallet racking for warehouses across Metro Phoenix and the West Valley. Every system we sell ships with the engineering documentation Maricopa County requires. New or used, our inventory includes uprights, beams, decking, and accessories built for the large-footprint distribution centers that have made Phoenix the #1 industrial market in the country.
We buy and sell all types of warehouse racking and material handling equipment. Our inventory for the Phoenix metro area includes:
We stock replacement parts and racking add-ons for Phoenix-area warehouses. Contact our team to request a quote or sell your used pallet racking in Phoenix.
Phoenix delivered 34.8 million square feet of new industrial space in 2024, more than any other U.S. market. Another 8.6 million square feet came online in Q1 2025 alone. These are not small buildings. Many West Valley facilities run 1 million-plus square feet with 36- to 40-foot clear heights, 100+ dock doors, and ESFR sprinkler systems.
We design racking layouts around the realities of Phoenix warehouses: high-bay storage configurations, cross-dock operations, and the fire code requirements the Phoenix Fire Department enforces for high-pile combustible storage.
Selective, drive-in, push-back, and pallet flow racking systems sized for Metro Phoenix distribution centers. We configure layouts around your dock door count, forklift fleet, and product mix. Every system we install in Maricopa 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 Phoenix 3PL and e-commerce operations that need pick module space above floor-level pallet storage. We handle the structural engineering, Maricopa County permitting, and installation.
We supply conveyor belts, rollers, and gravity conveyors for the high-volume fulfillment operations running across the West Valley and Mesa Gateway submarkets. Systems are available in configurations that integrate with your existing racking layout and dock-to-stock workflow.
Phoenix’s industrial market is anchored by large-scale logistics and manufacturing operations. Companies like Amazon, Williams-Sonoma, Nestle, Red Bull, White Claw, Walmart, and Lowe’s operate major distribution facilities across the metro. Our racking systems support the same types of operations:
Most warehouse racking projects in Phoenix require two separate permits before you can load your first pallet: a building permit from the City of Phoenix Development Services Department (or Maricopa County for unincorporated areas) and a fire permit for high-pile combustible storage from the Phoenix Fire Department.
Conesco handles this from start to finish:
We’ve managed racking projects across the Valley for over 30 years. We know what Maricopa County and City of Phoenix inspectors look for.
Phoenix has been the top-ranked U.S. industrial market for new construction since late 2024. The numbers back it up: 34.8 million square feet delivered in 2024 (a 7.8% inventory expansion), 8.6 million square feet in Q1 2025, and over 15 million square feet still under construction. Over the past three years, Phoenix has added more than 92 million square feet of industrial space, more than the metro delivered in the entire period from 2007 to 2019 combined.
The West Valley is the primary driver. Goodyear, Buckeye, Glendale, and Tolleson have attracted massive logistics campuses along the Loop 303 and I-10 corridors. The Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport submarket has added 17.5 million square feet since 2023, with another 5 million underway.
Population is approaching 5 million, making Phoenix the fifth-largest U.S. city. The metro’s location puts warehouses within a day’s truck drive of Southern California, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, and Northern Mexico. For companies looking to supplement or offload from the more expensive Southern California industrial markets, Phoenix offers newer buildings at lower cost per square foot.
Typical Phoenix warehouses feature 36- to 40-foot clear heights, cross-dock configurations, and ESFR sprinkler systems. Floor capacity commonly runs 5,000 to 7,000 PSF. These are big facilities with serious racking needs.
Major tenants across Metro Phoenix include Amazon (2.5M SF at PHX7, 2.3M SF at GYR1 in Goodyear, 1.2M SF at KRB9 in Mesa), Williams-Sonoma (1.2M SF at The Cubes Glendale), Prologis (80 properties, 17M+ SF), Kenco, Walmart, and Lowe’s.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pallet Racking Equipment in Phoenix, AZ.
Businesses across Metro Phoenix 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. With Phoenix’s industrial vacancy rate sitting around 10-12%, there’s a steady supply of quality used racking from facilities that are reconfiguring or closing. We inspect every piece we sell and confirm it meets the load requirements for your specific facility.
Contact our team by phone or through the form on this page. Here’s how it works:
Yes. In Phoenix and Maricopa County, a building permit is required for any racking system over 5 feet 9 inches tall. That covers almost every warehouse installation.
Within Phoenix city limits, permits go through the Development Services Department, which adopted the 2024 International Building Code effective August 1, 2025. Unincorporated Maricopa County operates under the 2018 IBC. This code difference matters because seismic load calculations and structural requirements vary between the two.
You’ll also need fire permits for high-pile combustible storage. Conesco provides PE-stamped engineered drawings and coordinates the permit process for you in both jurisdictions.
Phoenix falls into Seismic Design Category B or C depending on your facility’s exact location and soil classification. While this is lower than California’s SDC D/E zones, the IBC and ASCE 7 still require that all racking be engineered for site-specific seismic loads.
In practice, this means:
Racking that passes code in a low-seismic state may not pass a Maricopa County plan check. We verify seismic ratings for every system we sell in the Phoenix market.
The Phoenix Fire Department requires two separate permits for high-pile combustible storage: an F102 Construction Permit and an F303 Operational Permit. High-pile storage means combustible materials stacked above 12 feet (or above 6 feet for high-hazard commodities). That covers most pallet-racked operations.
These permits go through different agencies in a sequential process. The construction permit covers the physical racking and sprinkler modifications. The operational permit covers how you actually use the storage once it’s built. Both require documentation including:
Conesco coordinates with your fire protection engineer and handles the racking layout documentation required for permit approval.
All used pallet racking sold by Conesco is fully functional and load-tested.
Most standard sizes are in stock and ready for shipment. Popular configurations move fast, so we recommend confirming your order as soon as your quote is approved.
Keep in mind that the permitting timeline in Phoenix or Maricopa County can add 2 to 6 weeks depending on plan check backlog and which jurisdiction your facility sits in. 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 Metro Phoenix, the West Valley, East Valley, and greater Maricopa County. 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 Phoenix and surrounding cities including Glendale, Goodyear, Buckeye, Tolleson, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Surprise, Avondale, Peoria, and the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport submarket.
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 Phoenix businesses get strong returns on used pallet racking and material handling equipment.
This is common in Phoenix right now. With vacancy rates around 10-12% and over 92 million square feet of new space added in three years, tenants are moving, upgrading, and reconfiguring at a pace this market has never seen. We’ve decommissioned and repurchased racking from facilities across the Valley, and we can usually have a crew on-site within days 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 Phoenix-area projects, the difference is practical. Auction houses sell racking as-is with no engineering support. Conesco includes seismic verification, PE-stamped drawings from an Arizona-registered engineer, and permit coordination for both the city and county jurisdictions operating across Metro Phoenix. That’s how you get your certificate of occupancy without delays.
