Stop wrestling with unstable, space-wasting tire piles. Discover a modular system that transforms your warehouse into a high-density, fully accessible, and damage-free operation. Derack's portable stack racks offer a structural solution to the inherent challenges of tire logistics, eliminating product loss and maximizing your storage capacity from floor to ceiling.
For any tire distribution center or manufacturing plant, the traditional method of storing tires—lacing them in dense, woven piles on the floor—seems like a space-saving necessity. However, this practice creates significant, often unmeasured, financial losses and operational risks. The core problem lies in physics: the weight of the entire stack is borne by the tires at the bottom.
This immense pressure leads to two primary forms of irreversible damage:
Beyond direct product loss, floor stacking creates logistical nightmares. Accessing a specific SKU at the bottom of a pile requires manually moving hundreds of other tires, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process with a high risk of worker injury. This "last-in, first-out" (LIFO) reality severely limits inventory selectivity and operational efficiency.
The solution is to change the fundamental principle of storage. A post pallet or stack rack system introduces a "steel skeleton" to your inventory. It functions as a heavy-duty, modular frame that completely isolates the tires from any load-bearing stress. The weight of the upper levels is transferred directly through the steel posts to the floor, not through the products below. This single change transforms every aspect of your tire warehousing.
The operational shift is immediate and dramatic. Instead of an unmanageable pile, your inventory becomes a series of discrete, accessible units. Each portable stack rack holds a specific quantity of tires, turning complex inventory counts into a simple task of counting racks.
| Metric | Traditional Floor Stacking (Before) | Portable Stack Racks (After) |
|---|---|---|
| Load Bearing | Bottom tires support the entire stack's weight. | Steel posts bear 100% of the weight. |
| Product Damage | High risk of bead deformation and flat-spotting. | Zero compression damage. Product integrity is guaranteed. |
| Space Utilization | Limited by tire stability; uses only horizontal floor space. | Utilizes full warehouse height (4-5+ levels), increasing capacity by up to 400%. |
| Inventory Access | LIFO (Last-In, First-Out). Accessing bottom items is extremely difficult. | 100% selectivity. Forklifts can access any rack at any time. |
| Handling Method | Manual labor, high risk of injury, and low efficiency. | Forklift-driven unit loads, improving safety and speed by over 300%. |
Adopting a tire storage rack system is not just an equipment upgrade; it's an investment with a clear and rapid return. The benefits extend directly to your bottom line.
Warehouse space is a finite and expensive asset. Heavy duty stack racks allow you to multiply your storage capacity without expanding your facility. By converting vertical air space into usable storage levels, you can store significantly more inventory in the same square footage, deferring or eliminating the need for costly expansions or off-site storage.
These are not just storage units; they are returnable transport packaging (RTP). A key design feature is the demountable posts. When empty, the posts can be removed and the bases nested together. This simple action reduces the volume of empty racks by up to 80%. A truck that can only carry 50 assembled racks can now transport 200-250 nested bases on the return journey, drastically cutting return shipping costs and making a closed-loop supply chain economically viable.
Unlike bolted-down, static racking, portable stacking pallet racks require no installation. Your warehouse layout can adapt in minutes to meet changing demands. During peak season, you can create dense storage blocks. In slower periods, you can nest and store the empty racks, freeing up valuable floor space for sorting, cross-docking, or other value-added activities. This agility is impossible to achieve with traditional fixed racking systems.
A post pallet is an industrial steel pallet with a base and removable corner posts. It's a modular storage system designed to hold goods without compression and stack multiple units high, creating a flexible, dense, and safe racking structure without needing to be bolted to the floor.
Depending on the model, load capacity, and tire weight, our heavy duty stack racks are commonly stacked 4 to 5 levels high, reaching heights of 6-8 meters. This allows warehouses to utilize their full vertical cube, dramatically increasing storage density.
Yes. We offer a hot-dip galvanized finish, which provides superior corrosion resistance for over 20 years. This makes them ideal for outdoor tire storage, cold storage facilities, or any environment where moisture and weather are a concern, protecting your asset investment long-term.
When the racks are empty, the vertical posts can be easily removed. The empty bases are then designed to nest or stack compactly on top of each other. Typically, 4 to 6 nested empty bases occupy the same space as one fully assembled rack, reducing return shipping volume and cost by 75-80%.
Absolutely. We design tire pallet stillages based on tire diameter and weight. Racks for passenger car (PCR) tires are optimized for smaller dimensions, while racks for truck and bus (TBR) tires feature a heavier-duty base and reinforced posts to handle the larger size and weight, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum safety.
