Eric has been with Tier-Rack Corporation since 1998.  Eric has dedicated his time focusing in all types of tire racks and different tire rack applications.  Whether it is passenger tire racks, tire stacking frames, truck tire racks, display tire racks, aircraft tire racks or military tire racks, he can design any rack for your tire rack needs.  Eric is Tier-Rack's Director of Engineering has a Masters Degree in Structural Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis.  He is a proud father of two sons.

A tire retailer needs many things in his warehouse, but the most important product that they can purchase is a stacking tire rack.  Tier-Rack Corporation, of St. Louis, is the nation's number one provider of tire racks, including both stacking and retail-ready racks, in the nation.  They are also the inventors of the Stack Rack, the unique stackable storage solution that has made warehouse functions run smoothly since 1955.  This knowledge and experience makes Tier-Rack the choice for any warehouse needs, including tire racks.

PassengerTire 1 BigFinding the right warehouse tire rack is just as important.  Some companies need permanent structures, large, imposing racks that stay in one place and hold their cargo for years.  Other companies require more portable racks, allowing for the warehouse to be configured in different ways and for different stock to cycle through according to season and volume.  Tier-Rack can accomodate both of these needs, giving companies the safety of knowing that they have bought just the right storage rack for their company, and that they are made in the USA of the highest quality materials.

If you give Tier-Rack Corporation a chance to bid on your storage solutions, they will find both the price point and quantity that your company needs to store tires in their warehouse effectively, and the support and help of Tier-Rack's sales, manufacturing and engineering teams at each step of the process.  Contact them today at www.tier-rack.com and call (800) 325-7869 to talk to a sales consultant today.

Running a warehouse is a complicated job.  Beyond the job of organizing schedules and keeping people on task, keeping the warehouse's stock accessible and safe is the main task.  Finding a balance between rotating old stock forward, keeping aisles clear, and ensuring that the stock is stored in a way that the items don't become damaged is very important.

This balance is especially important in warehouses that store tires, such as tire shops, big box stores, auto repair shops, and any business that repairs their own vehicles.  These warehouses need to have their stock accessible, as their customers need to have their vehicles fixed, and moving the customers in and out quickly can make all of the difference in staying open and going out of business.  Tires also have to be stored correctly physically to keep them from warping, which can lead to blowouts and lawsuits.

Tier-Rack Corporation has been a leader in rack solutions and flexible warehouse racking systems for almost sixty years. The original Tier-Rack® pallet stacking frame converts regular warehouse pallets into sturdy storage racks in seconds without screws or bolts. And the Load-Nester® all-steel storage rack features light and heavy duty models of solid all-welded, knock-down, or nestable designs for all your material handling needs. Our portable stacking racks and rack systems are designed to handle and store even the most fragile, odd-shaped, and awkward merchandise. They can be designed to transport two loads at a time. Our stack racks reduce handling time, stack four to six high, and they are capable of supporting thousands of pounds per unit load. All Tier-Rack racks are engineered with a "2-to-1" safety factor to ensure the racks will perform safely and last for decades.  For more information, visit http://tier-rack.com today.

As the weather changes, and Spring starts to warm the roads and get people traveling and enjoying the outdoors, tires need to be replaced.  The harsh winter weather, with its icy, slick roads that tear up tires and the salt that wearss down the integrity of the tire, can cause damage to the tire that people don't necessarily see.  This means many blowouts as rubber that had constricted during the winter cold expands in the spring warmth, showing the cracks and crevices that have developed during the cold months.  How can your company be prepared for the onslaught of tire needs that crops up during these important times of the year?

Tire racksTier-Rack Corporation has the answer.  Their custom made tire racks give retailers and companies that store their own tires, such as bus companies, construction companies, rental car companies and the like, the ability to have tires on-hand, stacked comfortably and safely, and in easy reach of your employees, without the dangerous high stacks that can cause accidents and injury.  Tier-Rack stacking racks, created by Tier-Rack in 1955, are the perfect solution for the problem of stackable property, particularly a product as malleable and easily ruined as tires.  While a rack can't help the temperature a=that you store tires in, it can ensure that not too much weight is placed on the tire, keeping it balanced properly until it's pulled off of the shelf.  This is invaluable in keeping the tires safe, and keeping you from having blowouts on your watch.

Creating space in a warehouse is the eternal struggle for many companies.  Finding room for all of the new product, while constantly cycling through the old product, is a major headache for many warehouse managers and small business owners.  This struggle of convenience vs safety has led many companies to ruin, and caused many managers to pull their hair out.  However, there is an answer for this issue that can make managers and warehouse workers happy, and increase productivity in the warehouses.  

When companies use Tier-Rack's wood pallet tire racks, they find a way to move product around their warehouse with ease, and a way to ship these large products on 60" square pallets.  These 5' square wood pallets, combined with tire rack frames, create the perfect shipping and storage combination for warehouses and tire companies.

These pallets are terrific for tire storage and tire warehousing.  They also are used in Pallet stacking frames, and as stackable pallets.  Made from rustic lumber and reclaimed wood, these barn and scrap wood pallets use vintage boards and recycled materials to create an environmentally friendly storage product.  They are large, 5' by 5' wooden pallets, and very effective when used for tire storage.  The 60" area gives them abundant space for tire storage.  Also available with Tire Frames.  Big discounts for large quantities, and pre-orders are available for large quantities at lower prices.

Tire Frames are a large lot that includes some double bend style, some diamond tops / diamondtops, and some over under but are all compatible with each other.  This lot of used tire rack is being offered at the lowest prices ever!!!

The Tier-Rack Stacking Rack, invented by Tier-Rack in 1955, is the industry leader in creating vertical, portable space in your warehouse.  The original Tier-Rackョ pallet stacking frame converts regular warehouse pallets into sturdy storage racks in seconds without screws or bolts. And the Load-Nesterョ all-steel storage rack features light and heavy duty models of solid all-welded, knock-down, or nestable designs for all your material handling needs.

Our portable stacking racks and rack systems are designed to handle and store even the most fragile, odd-shaped, and awkward merchandise. They can be designed to transport two loads at a time. Our stack racks reduce handling time, stack four to six high, and they are capable of supporting thousands of pounds per unit load. All styles of racking are engineered to meet and/or exceed the "2-to-1" safety factor established by the Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI) for portable rack design specifications.

With Tire Racks, this is very important.  Tires must be stored so that there is not an excessive amount of pressure on the tire, which can cause warping and soft spots, damaging the live expectancy of the tire.  These can lead to blowouts and dangerous conditions, and angry customers as well!

Many companies store tires.  Whether they are manufacturers, retailers, repair shops, or businesses that need to replace tires often, like bus companies or taxi services, they need a way to store multiple tires safely, and many times, to ship them effectively as well.  Finding a way to store these tires is a constant battle between storing as much as possible, being able to easily access these tires, and being able to organize your warehouse.  Luckily, Tier-Rack Corporation has a way around this.

When businesses store tires, they need to know that they are safely stored, and that their WAREHOUSE will be safe.  Believe it or not, this is a very important question in storage.  When racks store items, such as tires, they need to be setup to allow water to sluice through, going from fire suppression systems all the way to the floor to put out fires in your storeroom.

Perforated deck meets fire codes by allowing water from overhead sprinklers to pass through to the stack racks below and protect the side walls. The ratio of holes to solid deck gives good support to the tires and will not leave marks on the tires in the portable rack. Another style of stacking rack uses wire mesh decking. This decking is less expensive than perforated metal decking and has larger openings in the deck. This is a good option if your tires are in and out of your warehouse rack frequently and the wire deck doesn't have time to leave marks on your product.

Rack1Naturally, the least expensive portable stack rack for tires has no decking at all. The inner and outer rack beams are located so they support the tires. This works best if you do not have people standing on the rack as they load or unload the tires, since the rack beams do not provide as secure a work surface as a deck does.

Our center post Tier-Rack® tire stacking frame is a popular alternative for those who appreciate the ease of loading and unloading tires when there are no obstructions on the corners of the stack racks. These tire racks are also the least expensive storage solution for tires  available. The frames easily attach to your existing warehouse pallets and will hold loads of 2,000 pounds per pallet when the racks are stacked five high.

Tier-Rack Corp of St. Louis, MO has been providing custom designed and manufactured tire racks since 1955.  Tier-Rack has created hundreds of customized racks for every shape and size of tire, using wire mesh and perforated decking to support the tires while keeping them from warping during long periods of non-use.  Let us show you how our years of manufacturing experience can provide you with quality earthmoving machine tire racks at a very affordable price. We buy steel tubing directly from the tube mills in truckload quantities. Then our talented and efficient teams in our low overhead production facilities transform the steel tubing into high quality portable racks that have been designed to meet your needs.

Metzeler2BigTires are a year-round product.  From punctures to wear to accidents, tires are constantly needing replacement.  However, there are parts of the year, where, traditionally, more tires are sold.  How to know when to store tires is very important, as having tires on your tire racks is the most important part of selling them.  But when are the times that tire sales spike?  The answer lies in knowing when people need them.

The two main parts of the year for tire consumption are April and October.  In April, companies often drop prices on tires in order to encourage customers to replace tires before those summer road trips.  Nothing spoils a drive to a theme park like a flat tire.  In October, companies try to encourage replacing worn tires that may become dangerous during winter weather.  Nobody enjoys changing a flat on the side of the road in the snow, and worn tires, sans grip, are deadly in snow and ice.

Newretailrack2Many bike companies have a delicate problem.  How to showcase tires in an attractive manner, without warping or  damaging tires that may need to be stored for months at a time.  This leads many companies to try different  storage methods, attempting to balance ease of access and attractiveness of display by stacking tires, or keeping  them in displays along the wall.  However, the best way to accomplish these goals is with a retail tire rack.

Tier-Rack Corporation of St. Louis, MO, designs and manufactures retail tire racks to specifications, along with  keeping standardized racks on hand for companies that want to upgrade their storage quickly.  These racks are on  wheels, easily portable, and allow the customers and employees alike to identify their tire and examine its  condition.  These work both as retail tire carts for display and rolling inventory for the technicians who need  access to them in order to utilize them.

Since 1955, Tier-Rack Corp has used their Tier-Rack storage system to store tires, boxes, fabric, pipe,  elecronics, bicycles, furniture, food, beverages, and almost any product that can be kept in a warehouse.  Any company that uses pallets can use this product, which stacks frames on top of your existing wood pallets to create  vertical space.These will allow a company to stack 3 to 5 loads of crushable of fragile products, as well as  awkward, non-stackable product.  

When the frames aren't being utilized, they take up a small amount of space, folding down to conserve your  precious warehouse space.

Aircraft tire storage can be a real problem. As these tires go from 44" to 56' or even larger, they are heavy and dangerous to move. If their storage racks are poorly designed, they can be difficult, and even dangerous to remove from the rack as their weight and shape make them unwieldy. An experienced company such as Tier-Rack recognizes this and has designed a solution.

2deckemptyTier-Rack manufactures tire racks and equipment designed for military, aerospace manufacturers, service suppliers and carriers. Our racks are made to handle airplane tires easier, faster, and - most importantly - safely. Our aircraft tire racks are engineered for large aircraft tires.
