Warehouses across the world have an issue.  As they need to hold more and more stock, the room gets harder and harder to find, which is why many companies are turning to stacking racks.  The advantages are apparent.  A stacking rack gives warehouse managers the ability to move products around the warehouse in order to keep rotating stock, and to move VERTICALLY, which is very important in the world of warehouse management.  

This verticality, plus the ability to configure your warehouse using different stacks of goods and finding ways to organize your materials with racks that stack in different configurations, makes the stacking rack the ideal way to run a warehouse environment.

Tier-Rack Corporation in vented the stack rack in 1955, and has been working to perfect and redefine the way that people use them, from storage to transport, in their warehouses and stores.  Any store, from a small Mom and Pop shop to a huge big-box store, can use the Tier-Rack stacking rack to keep their warehouses organized and moving efficiently.  Please give us the opportunity to bid on your rack needs, and find a way, through either our standard racks or a custom  made solution, to solve your storage needs.  Visit www.tier-rack.com today, and call 1-800-325-7869 for more information.

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.

Tire RackTire Racks are an important part of the tire industry, keeping the wheels protected and in the same shape that they come in and need to be sold in.  These racks need to be precisely engineered to withstand the weight and hold the tires up so that they don't warp and twist, or wear on one side.  Tires can also flatten if left in the wrong position for too long.  These racks need to be made to do their job properly, and sadly, this isn't always the case. 

While many companies manufacture racks, not as many manufacture them well, and it's not a very well-regulated practice.  Many overseas companies will use inferior metals, and not provide the gauge that's promised, because they know that companies that look for the cheapest price often won't check the quality.  However, it's vital to make sure that the rack you order is the rack you receive.  Always make sure to get a few things spelled out in the quote. 

  • Load Ratings
  • Stack Heights
  • All Tubing Gauges
  • Rack Design Details
  • Empty Rack Weight

Other companies will often use inferior tubing, with smaller gauge, and not inform the buyer of the 12 week lead time they require to fill your order. due to sea container shipping so that they can save costs.

It's also important to check on the racks once they arrive.  Demand in the order to know the weight, then weigh them when they arrive.  Make sure that they are checked for the areas that aren't seen, like at the weld spots, where companies will skimp on the weight.  These trouble spots are easy to miss upon visual inspection, but can be spotted if the racks are weighed carefully and checked.  It also is a good idea to check on the actual manufacturing address, to make sure that the racks are made in the US, not in China.  Often, it's Chinese-made racks that are the most cheaply made, so if they come in an overseas container, you can assume that's their point of origin.  Some other common problems are:

  • Dealers or distributors posing as rack manufacturers
  • Inferior overseas material and workmanship
  • Quoting lighter gauge tubing
  • Quoting the correct tubing and then delivering lighter gauge racks
  • Omitting rack tags indicating manufacturer and safe load limits

Let us show you how our years of manufacturing experience can provide you with quality car 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. Give us a chance to prove to you that nobody does it better than Tier-Rack! Whether you need 100,000 tire racks or 10 tire racks, Tier-Rack is your best choice.

Any company that stores and carries tires knows how difficult this task can be.  Finding ways to keep the tires in the proper shape and alignment while maximizing your warehouse's full space is a growing concern, as business costs rise and profits margins become slimmer.  These concerns lead many companies to try risky stacking methods or purchase outrageously priced tire racks, or even worse, purchase cheaply-made racks from overseas concerns, that do not undergo rigorous testing and can be made of inferior grade metals.
