There is no hard and fast limit, according to OSHA. However, the pallets must not present a danger of falling. An industry standard is around 15 feet. Remember, regardless of rules, everything on your job site must be safe, even if there isn’t a specific “rule” which gives you limits.
Ergonomic systems, safety, and maintenance principles are a few examples.
