Are you still "lacing" tires on the floor? That mountain of rubber is costing you more than just space. It's causing irreversible bead damage, creating massive safety hazards, and making inventory counts a nightmare. It's time to stop hand-stacking and start capitalizing on a system built for tire logistics.
When you hand-stack tires, the entire weight of the column rests on the tires at the bottom. This immense pressure, applied unevenly, crushes the sidewalls and, most critically, causes irreversible bead deformation. A damaged bead won't seal properly on the rim, rendering the tire useless and leading to customer returns and warranty claims. Furthermore, tires left in a static pile for extended periods develop flat-spotting, which affects the dynamic balance and ride quality. This isn't just a cosmetic issue; it's product destruction happening right on your warehouse floor.
Need to retrieve a specific SKU from the bottom of a 10-foot-high pile? Good luck. The laced pile creates a strict "Last-In, First-Out" (LIFO) scenario. Your team must manually unstack and restack hundreds of tires to reach the one they need. This isn't just inefficient; it's a major drain on labor hours and significantly increases the risk of back injuries and other workplace strains.
Inside a tire storage rack, each tire is cradled without any compression from the units above. The weight is transferred from the cup feet of the top rack directly into the posts of the rack below, all the way to the floor. This "structure-on-structure" stacking completely eliminates the pressure that causes bead deformation and flat-spotting. Your inventory remains in pristine, saleable condition, no matter how long it's stored or how high you stack it.
Stop thinking in square feet and start thinking in cubic feet. Our tire pallet system allows you to safely go vertical, stacking fully loaded units 4, 5, or even 6 levels high. This can instantly increase your storage density by over 60% compared to floor stacking. Unlike fixed pallet racking, these portable units require no installation and no permanent aisles. You can reconfigure your entire warehouse layout in a single afternoon to adapt to seasonal inventory peaks.
Whether you're handling Passenger Car Radial (PCR) or Truck and Bus Radial (TBR) tires, our systems are engineered for the task. We use a diameter-based design logic to maximize the number of tires per rack. For heavy TBR tires, the pallet stillages steel construction ensures safe handling of extreme loads. Inventory management is transformed; instead of counting individual tires, your team counts standardized, unitized racks, boosting inventory accuracy to over 99%.
These racks are not just static storage equipment; they are a dynamic part of your supply chain. As a form of Returnable Transport Packaging (RTP), they can ship loaded with tires directly from the manufacturer to the distribution center and then to the retailer, eliminating costly and wasteful re-handling. The biggest advantage? When empty, the posts are removed and the bases nest together. This innovative design reduces the space needed for return shipping by up to 80%, making a closed-loop system economically viable and slashing your transportation costs.
Capacity is customized based on your specific needs. A typical rack for passenger car tires (PCR, diameter < 800mm) might hold 16-25 tires, while a heavy-duty rack for truck tires (TBR) will be designed for a lower quantity of much heavier tires. We design the solution around your inventory.
Absolutely. They are designed with conical "cup feet" that guide the upper rack into a secure, self-aligned position on the posts of the lower rack. This makes stacking fast and safe for forklift operators. The base includes forklift guides for easy and secure handling.
Unlike a dense, solid pile of tires on the floor which can block sprinkler systems, the open-frame design of our industrial stacking racks allows water from overhead sprinklers to penetrate all levels of storage. This can significantly improve fire suppression effectiveness compared to traditional stacking methods.
This is a key advantage of a portable system. You simply remove the posts and nest the empty bases together. A stack of 10 nested bases takes up roughly the same footprint as a single assembled rack, freeing up valuable floor space for other operations until the racks are needed again.
Yes. They are engineered as robust Returnable Transport Packaging (RTP). Shipping tires in these racks protects them from damage throughout the transit process and simplifies loading and unloading at the destination. The nesting feature makes collecting the empty racks for return highly cost-effective.
