Storage racks such as pallet rack, shelving, and rack-supported mezzanines enable you to store tires in a convenient and out-of-the-way area, freeing up valuable floor space in your garage or workshop. By implementing an effective tire storage material handling system, auto body shops can improve productivity, serve customers more efficiently, reduce risks, and enhance overall facility functionality.
These systems can be customized to meet the specific needs of each auto body shop, ensuring safe handling and convenient access to tires. They reduce the requirement for large floor space and enhance employee safety by minimizing the need for ladders and forklifts. These systems can be designed with safety gates on stairs, elevated work platforms, tire conveyance, and tire drop areas for retrieval, thereby increasing efficiency. The racking systems are modular and customizable to accommodate different tire sizes and shop layouts. Before choosing a storage solution, consider the space constraints and floor plan of your shop, the size and variety of the tires stocked, your business’s workflow and operational needs, and the maintenance and levels of automation required for continued service with no downtime.

Mezzanines offer an excellent solution for tire storage. They help to maximize vertical space, reduce congestion, and optimize floor space usage. Mezzanines can be designed with wide-span shelving to accommodate tires of different sizes and types. The load capacity per shelf varies from 400 lbs to 1500 lbs, depending on the shelf dimension and steel gauge. They feature a stackable design that utilizes a catwalk system, increasing storage capacity and flexibility. Mezzanines are also designed for easy assembly, with sturdy posts and heavy-duty construction. They can be built on top of existing walls or pallet rack systems or as a free-standing structure. Mezzanines are suitable for heavy-duty tire storage, making them an excellent choice for facilities with high-volume tire inventory.
When selecting a mezzanine system for tire storage, consider factors such as:
- Load capacity: Ensure the mezzanine can support the weight of the tires, employees, and any additional equipment.
- Space constraints: Measure available space to determine the optimal design and configuration.
- Operational requirements: Consider the frequency of tire usage and the need for easy access when selecting a mezzanine system.
