Local Pallet Racking in Chesterfield County, VA

Chesterfield County is the fastest-growing industrial market in the Richmond metro, with a wave of modern 30-to-36-foot-clear spec buildings rising along the I-95 South and Route 1 corridors near Chester and the Bermuda Run industrial park. The county's southern industrial base serves retail distribution, food and beverage, building materials, and a growing advanced-manufacturing cluster. Older industrial stock runs along Hull Street Road through Midlothian and the Route 360 East corridor toward Colonial Heights. Chesterfield County issues permits through the Building Inspection department, with a plan-review cycle that runs three to four weeks for straightforward rack submittals.

Chesterfield Industrial: Bermuda Run, I-95 South, and Hull Street Corridor

Chesterfield's two tiers — modern I-95 South spec buildings and older Hull Street flex — each call for different rack configurations.

Bermuda Run industrial park (I-95 South) — 30–36 ft clear new spec. Default: selective at 28–32 ft plus pallet flow for food and beverage FIFO.
Chester / Route 1 distribution corridor — 28–34 ft clear, retail and e-commerce fulfillment. Default: selective with carton-flow pick faces.
Hull Street Rd / Route 360 East — 22–26 ft clear older tilt-ups. Default: selective 20–24 ft with double-deep perimeter walls.
Swift Creek / Midlothian older flex — 20–24 ft clear, smaller footprints. Default: selective short runs. Overflow links to Midlothian.
