Key Points for Selecting Car Tire Storage Racks

The selection of car tire storage racks needs to be combined with tire characteristics, storage environment and management requirements, focusing on the five core elements of load-bearing capacity, space adaptability, access efficiency, safety protection and cost-effectiveness. The following is a specific analysis:

1. Load-bearing capacity and structural design

Tire characteristics adaptation: Tires are high-weight, high-volume round rubber products, and the shelves need to adopt heavy-duty structural design (such as beam-type shelves with a load-bearing capacity of ≥500kg/layer, and a single group of compact shelves can bear several tons).

Layer height and spacing: Adjust the shelf layer height according to the tire specifications (such as 60-80cm in diameter for car tires and 90-120cm in diameter for truck tires), and ensure that the gap between the tire and the beam is ≥5cm when placed vertically to avoid extrusion and deformation.

Anti-slip and limiter: Add anti-slip patterns or rubber pads on the surface of the beam, and the compact shelf track is equipped with a limiter to prevent the tire from sliding or tipping over.

2. Space utilization and storage scale

Three-dimensional storage solution:

Stacking rack: suitable for small-scale storage or rental warehouses, foldable design saves space, stacking layer ≤ 4 layers, space utilization increased by 3-4 times.

Compact rack: suitable for large-scale storage, track-type mobile design reduces channel occupancy, space utilization increased by more than 50%.

Customized design: customize shelf size and layout according to warehouse floor height (such as 8-12 meters warehouse can be equipped with multi-layer shelves), area and load-bearing capacity.

3. Storage and retrieval efficiency and operation convenience

Storage and retrieval method:

Forklift operation adaptation: Forklift channel (width ≥ 2.5 meters) is reserved at the bottom of the shelf, beam-type shelves support four-way forklift storage and retrieval, and compact racks are equipped with electric drive systems.

Manual storage and retrieval optimization: Shelf-type shelves are ≤ 2.5 meters high and are used with climbing ladders, which are suitable for manual storage and retrieval scenarios such as 4S stores.

First-in-first-out (FIFO): Shelf partition design (such as partition by brand, specification, and production date), combined with WMS system to achieve dynamic inventory management.

4. Safety protection and durability

Structural stability: The shelf columns are made of Q235B steel (yield strength ≥ 235MPa), and the connection between the beam and the column is reinforced, and the anti-overturning moment is increased by 3 times.

Anti-corrosion treatment: The surface is treated with pickling and phosphating + electrostatic spraying (film thickness ≥ 60μm), and the salt spray resistance test is ≥ 500 hours, which is suitable for humid and salt spray environments.

Safety accessories: The compact rack is equipped with an emergency stop button and a limit switch, and the stacking rack is equipped with anti-slip foot pads and fixings to avoid operational accidents.

5. Cost-effectiveness and scalability

Initial investment:

Economical choice: Shelf-type shelves (unit price of about 500-1000 yuan/group) are suitable for small-scale warehousing.

Efficient choice: Compact racks (unit price of about 3000-5000 yuan/group) are suitable for large-scale warehousing, and long-term cost reduction.

Long-term benefits: The service life of high-quality shelves is ≥ 10 years, and the average annual depreciation cost is ≤ 10% of the total equipment price.

Scalability: Choose modular design shelves to support adding layers, adjusting layer height or expanding the number of shelf groups later.

6. Environmental adaptability

Temperature and humidity control: The recommended temperature for tire storage is 5-35℃, and the humidity is ≤60%. Shelves should avoid direct contact with water or direct sunlight.

Ventilation design: Shelf spacing is ≥0.8 meters, and ventilation slots are set in the rail area of the compact shelving to prevent tires from getting damp and aging.

7. Intelligent management

Identification and traceability: Shelf partition number (such as A1-01 to D4-20), tire binding RFID tags, to achieve real-time inventory positioning and tracking.

Data integration: The shelf system is connected to ERP/WMS to automatically generate inventory reports, warn of expiring tires, and improve management efficiency.
