Delaware's Pallet Racking Experts

Yes. We serve industrial and warehouse facilities across all three Delaware counties — New Castle County (Wilmington, Newark, New Castle, Claymont, Middletown, Bear), Kent County (Dover, Smyrna, Milford), and Sussex County (Georgetown, Seaford, Lewes). We also serve the Delaware Tri-State corridor into southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey.

Yes. Every county and municipality in Delaware has different permitting requirements. We handle New Castle County Land Use, Kent County Planning, Sussex County Planning and Zoning, and city-level permits for Wilmington, Dover, Milford, Seaford, and Georgetown. Our permit packages include stamped engineering drawings, seismic and wind load calculations, and all required fire high-piled storage documentation.

Yes. The Port of Wilmington generates significant warehouse demand — particularly for cold storage produce and banana operations, chemical distribution, and import logistics along the Christina River corridor. We regularly install galvanized and food-grade rack systems for port-adjacent facilities and have specific experience with the permitting and fire review requirements of that industrial submarket.

New rack costs 40–60% more than quality-certified used inventory but comes with full manufacturer warranties and standard engineering drawings. Used rack inspected to ANSI/RMI MH16.1 is safe for permitted installations and typically available in weeks rather than months. Delaware's no-sales-tax environment makes both options attractive compared to neighboring states. We carry inspected used rack in stock and can quote both options for any project.

Most Delaware projects fall between $50 and $120 per pallet position installed for standard selective racking, depending on beam capacity, height, and whether you choose new or quality-certified used rack. A typical 1,000-position warehouse runs roughly $50,000–$120,000 installed, including engineering, permits, and anchoring. Used rack can cut material cost 40–60%, and Delaware's lack of a state sales tax lowers the total versus neighboring states. We provide fixed written quotes after a site visit.

Delaware Pallet Racking is the state's dedicated pallet racking specialist, serving all three counties — New Castle, Kent, and Sussex — as a division of Alliance Material Handling, which has equipped mid-Atlantic warehouses for over 70 years. We handle the full scope in-house: engineering, permits, installation, inspection, and used-rack supply, with specific experience in Port of Wilmington cold storage, Dover AFB defense supply, and Sussex County food-grade operations. Every install is OSHA and ANSI/RMI MH16.1 compliant.
