The Tire Industry Association’s Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) has issued best management practices guidelines for proper tire storage.

The document outlines the steps tire dealers must take in storing tires to maximize the service life of their inventory, TIA said.

“If tires are not stored correctly, it may result in the loss of performance as prolonged exposure to outside forces like heat, direct sunlight and ozone can affect the integrity of the materials,” TIA said.

The document includes guidelines for outdoor and long-term storage of vehicles, TIA said.

This is the seventh best management practices compilation TIA has drafted, covering handling, transporting, recycling and/or disposing of materials important to tire dealers, including tires, used oil, fluids, degreasers and batteries. All available for free download at www.tireindustry.org.

They are strong enough to withstand years of use and material handling.  The tire and rack combination is what 90% of tire distributors use to store tires effectively.

The stack racks reduce handling time, stack four to six high, and they are capable of supporting thousands of pounds per unit load.

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!

However you store your tires, flat, on tread or laced, Tier-Rack can provide tire rack storage that won’t break your budget. Tire Racks were our original product, and the tire industry continues to be one of our important markets. While the 60” x 60” rack is still the most popular size, we also make many other sizes to meet your specific tire stacking rack needs.

Here are some of the different types of tire racks Tier-Rack can produce for you.

Choose the style of tire rack that works best in your operation. Add  perforated deck that 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. Naturally, 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.

If you need shipping containers for tires, we make a folding rack for the economical return of the LacingTiresempty racks. Since the posts are not removed from the rack, there is no concern about losing some posts during the return trip. As with all of our varieties of tire racks, these can be made for any size and load capacity that you need. These shipping racks can be designed with or without decking to meet your needs.  They are strong enough to withstand years of use and material handling.  The tire and rack combination is what all tire distributors must have to store tires effectively

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.

Finding 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.

Every company that stores equipment, whether it's tires or baby food or board games or whatever, needs their own specific kind of storage solution.  These come in many forms, from baskets to bins to racks.  Every company has their own specific needs, and Tier-Rack Corporation has a way to store anything.  Take tires, for instance.  Tires require specific racks to store them safely, racks designed with decking and spacing to allow the tires to be stored without warping them.  The racks can also stack, enabling companies to use the vertical space of their warehouses to effectively store their wares.  This sort of storage flexibility is what makes a warehouse function effectively.

Finding a way to balance the needs of the company with the available storage space is the ultimate warehouse challenge.  This is true of tires as well as any other product.  The product needs to be accessible and safely stored, including safety for both the employees and the product, and this balance must be maintained to ensure a properly functioning warehouse.  Tier-Rack only uses American-made steel in their racks, which are manufactured at their plants in the U.S. to exacting specifications.  Customers can rest easy knowing that Tier-Rack has built their racks with the gauge of metal that they were quoted, and we encourage customers to weigh the racks themselves - we'll give you the specs and you can see for yourself that our product stacks up.

Please, let us bid on your warehouse racks.  We are confident that our manufacturing expertise, in-house engineering and U.S. based manufacturing plants will let your company save money on your storage solutions, as well as to help you receive the best rack for your money.  Visit us at www.tier-rack.com and call (800) 325-7869 to setup an appointment, or to ask us anything about our manufacturing or engineering.  We're looking forward to quoting you and getting your warehouse in order.
