High Piled Storage: What You Need to Know
Are you storing class I, II, III, or IV commodity products over 12 feet high or high hazard commodities and group A plastics over 6 feet high? There are specific standards and regulations that you have to abide by in order to stack high piled storage, and you can’t afford to fall behind and miss out. Adhering to fire codes is an absolutely crucial part of maintaining the safety of your warehouse, and ȤƵ is here to help your team make sure you avoid any fines, penalties, or safety hazards.
According to the (FPI), there are four areas that you need to comply with to meet standards, including:
- “The commodity classification of your products.
- “The required fire sprinkler design criteria.
- “Fire Code storage requirements to include, issues like fire department vehicle access, firefighter doors and smoke vents.
- “Storage configuration compliance with the code regarding egress travel, and proper number of exits.”
Getting everything squared away before you lease or purchase your space is crucial for maintaining optimal uptime and avoiding long-term issues for your facility. That’s where ȤƵ comes in. Whether you meet the criteria comes down to:

- The quality of your sprinklers

- How high you’re storing it
All of these factors determine your standing as far as building requirements go.
