Tyre Storage racking system –
Tyres are one of the most common and complex products to store, so especially adapted racking systems are designed for them.
In this Blog, we will focus on car tyres storage, characteristics and the most suitable racking systems.
Tyre storage characteristics
Once the space inside the warehouse or premises where the tyres will be stored has been prepared, remember the following points for correct storage and maintaining them in good condition.
- Do not store the tyres on the ground
The tyres should not be placed directly on the ground to prevent humidity. They should be stored ideally on racking, or at least on pallets or other surfaces above the ground.
- Do not subject the tyres to any pressure
The tyres should be stored on the racking without subjecting them to any type of compression or tension that could deform them and alter their future correct working.
- Special attention to fire risk
Being a flammable product due to its rubber composition, special attention must be paid to the fire risk and the warehouse and industrial racking prevention systems.
Local regulations must be checked to accurately define these risk prevention measures.
- Correct product positioning
If the tyres are stored without their rim it is advisable to store them vertically, and to turn them periodically to prevent any deformations in the rubber.
If they are stored with the rim included, the storage time should be shorter. They should be stored horizontally, inflated to the required pressure and also turned regularly.
- Careful handling of the tyres
The tyres should be cleaned before being stored on the racking, using gloves to handle them.
Special attention should be paid to the use of automatic handling equipment for their handling.
Racking and Picking solutions for tyres
Picking Solutions- The solution that we therefore recommend for the industrial storage of tyres is Picking Solutions, in this case, adapted for tyres or wheels of different sizes.
It is an industrial racking solution that allows the manual storage of tyres, with direct and immediate access to all the references stored, facilitating stock management and product flow. It is also a very versatile system that can be adjusted to different level heights, thus adapting to all tyre sizes.
Racking Solution- The first level prevents the car tyres from being placed on the ground to keep them away from humidity and to ensure good storage. If the tyre is stored without its rim it will be deposited vertically on the beams at a pre-determined width, thus achieving greater storage density.
The Racking storage system can be increased in height, and accessories such as wooden boards or metal trays added to store other types of products or tyres with rims horizontally.
Depending on the weight that the racking is going to support, a pallet racking structure could be used if necessary.
