Industrial shelving systems for storing tires

Industrial shelving systems for storing tires


Tires are one of the most common products because of their special properties, but their storage is complex. That is why industrial shelving systems are designed that adapt to these characteristics in a special way.


The tire is the basic element among the variety of vehicles and machines and therefore they can be very different in terms of size, material and weight.


In this issue we would like to focus our attention on car tires and their properties for storage in the most suitable industrial shelves.

Requirements for the correct storage of car tires

First and foremost is the analysis of the environment and environmental conditions for tire storage, regardless of whether it is a warehouse, a shop or a workshop.


Car tires in Qatar should always be stored indoors to prevent the formation of cracks that could occur if stored outdoors.


It should also be a place away from direct sunlight, with medium temperatures (15-25 ° C), low humidity and proper ventilation.


In addition, the environment should not be excessively loaded with chemical substances and free from artificial heat sources such as motors or cables when in operation.


It is therefore also important that the storage location is cleaned regularly and intensively.

Car tire storage characteristics

After the storage room or location for the tires has been determined, the following points must be taken into account for their correct storage in good condition:

Avoiding tire storage on the ground

The car tires must not be stacked directly on the ground in order to avoid moisture build-up. Instead, they are ideally stored on shelves or at least on pallets or other surfaces raised above the ground.

Pressureless storage of tires

When storing car tires on shelves, they must not be subjected to any pressure or tension, as this could lead to deformation and impairment of their future functionality.

Attention fire hazard

Since rubber or rubber tires are flammable products, special attention must be paid to the risk of fire, as well as the accident prevention system in the warehouse and the metal structures of the shelves.

For this, the local regulations must be checked in order to then precisely define the corresponding accident prevention measures.

Correct positioning of the product

If the car tires are stored without rims, it is advisable to store them in a vertical position and to rotate them regularly to avoid deformation of the rubber.


On the other hand, if they are to be stored together with the rim, the storage time must be reduced, they must be stored horizontally and with the specified tire pressure. They also need to be rotated regularly.

Careful handling of the wheels

Tires should be cleaned before they are placed on the shelf and protective gloves should be worn for handling.


Special attention must be paid to their handling when using automatic storage and retrieval machines.

Large number of different articles

When managing the inventory of tires, it must be taken into account that we are dealing with a large number of different items when they are stored.


If the storage is only about car tires, these items do not differ much in terms of weight and size, but pose a challenge for the organization and management of the inventory due to the large number of different items.

Manually operated wide-span shelves for tires

That is why we recommend the manually operated wide-span racks for the industrial storage of car tires, which are specially adapted for the storage of tires or wheels of various dimensions.


These are shelves made of metal structures that allow direct and immediate access to all items from manually stored tires, which promotes both inventory management and the flow of goods.


In addition, this system is characterized by its great versatility, as the loading levels can be easily adjusted, which means they can be adapted to all tire sizes.


The first loading level avoids storing the tires directly on the ground, thus protecting them from moisture and keeping them in good condition.


If the tires are stored without rims, they must be positioned vertically on the carriers, which are designed so that their spacing corresponds to the respective tire dimensions, which also results in greater storage density.


The storage system can ‘grow in height and accessories such as wooden or metal shelves can be added to store other products or tires with rims in a horizontal position.


Depending on the required load-bearing capacity of the shelving system, the structure of a pallet shelving system can be used if necessary.
