Tire Storage the Easy Way

Tire storage can take up a lot of room.  Every month you are paying for open empty air space in your storage areas. That open wall space and ceiling area could become very valuable to you overnight.  Now you can store them overhead and have them at your fingertips in minutes. Your floor space stays open and you know where everything is.

When does overhead storage make sense?

  • Storing tires consumes a lot of floor space. You want that space for working on cars.
  • You want to get your hands on fresh tires quick. Rummaging around in the storage area is not a good use of time.
  • Jerking tires out of storage and rolling them to the bay is difficult and takes two trips.
  • Climbing ladders to get tires is asking for trouble.
  • Inventory gets confusing and shrinkage is a problem when things are buried out of sight.
  • Take the pressure off your backroom storage by having your high volume tires up front and use your backroom storage for the others.
  • Shorten your turnaround time by having your high turnover tires right at hand.
  • Every month you are paying for open empty air space that could be used for optimal storage. Your overhead space suddenly becomes very valuable.

How Does Overhead Storage Work?

  • The tire lift is eight feet long and is bolted to your ceiling.
  • With a push of a button your tires come down to the floor. You get double the tire storage with our over under design.
  • Loading and unloading is easy. No more searching, climbing ladders or injuries.
  • Push the button and up they go. They are out of the way where no one can tamper with them. Your bays stay open and clear.
  • Fresh tires are restocked directly off the truck.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tire Storage Solutions

What are tire storage solutions?

Tire storage solutions are space-saving systems designed to organize tires while improving accessibility, safety, and floor-space utilization. Spacesaver Storage Solutions offers vertical and overhead options that take advantage of unused ceiling and wall height instead of allowing tire inventory to consume valuable shop floor space.

What types of tire storage systems does Spacesaver Storage Solutions offer?

Spacesaver Storage Solutions offers solutions including LiftNStore® overhead tire lifts and Vidir Tire Carousels. Overhead lifts raise tires above the work area, while vertical tire carousels rotate stored tires and deliver them to an accessible operator height.

How can a tire storage system save floor space?

Instead of relying solely on traditional floor racks or stacked tires, vertical and overhead systems use available height within your facility. Vidir Tire Carousels can recover up to 70% of the floor space required by more traditional tire storage systems, depending on the application and configuration.

How does an overhead tire lift work?

An overhead tire lift stores tires above the floor and lowers them to an accessible level at the push of a button. After tires are loaded or retrieved, the platform can be raised again, leaving valuable floor and service-bay space open.

How does a tire carousel work?

A tire carousel uses a series of carriers that rotate vertically within the system. The operator activates the carousel to bring the desired tires down to an ergonomic retrieval height, reducing the need to climb ladders or use forklifts to access vertically stored inventory.

How many tires can an overhead tire lift hold?

Capacity depends on the model. Spacesaver Storage Solutions lists LiftNStore® models capable of storing 24, 36, or 48 tires, with lift lengths ranging from 8 to 16 feet. The appropriate system will depend on your tire sizes, available space, inventory, and operational requirements.

Are tire storage systems suitable for dealerships and automotive service centers?

Yes. Tire storage systems are well suited for automotive dealerships, tire shops, fleet maintenance facilities, service centers, warehouses, and other automotive operations that need to store significant tire inventory while keeping working areas clear and organized.

Can tire storage systems improve workplace safety?

They can help reduce common tire-handling risks by minimizing climbing, reaching, searching through stacks, and moving tires from difficult storage locations. Vertical carousels bring tires directly to the operator, while overhead lifts lower stored tires to the floor for easier loading and unloading.

Can tire storage help improve shop productivity?

Yes. Keeping frequently used tires organized and close to service areas can reduce time spent searching for and transporting inventory. Spacesaver's automotive storage approach is designed around improving workflow, accessibility, space utilization, and technician productivity.

Can a tire storage solution be customized for my facility?

Yes. Tire carousel configurations and carrier specifications can be adapted for different storage requirements, and Spacesaver Storage Solutions develops storage layouts based on the facility, available space, workflow, and inventory needs.

How do I know which tire storage system is right for my facility?

The best solution depends on factors such as your available ceiling height, floor space, tire inventory, turnover rate, tire sizes, and workflow. Spacesaver Storage Solutions can evaluate your facility and recommend a configuration designed around your specific storage and operational needs.

Does Spacesaver Storage Solutions provide tire storage systems in Virginia?

Yes. Spacesaver Storage Solutions provides automotive and tire storage solutions for customers throughout Virginia, with support for planning and designing systems around each facility's requirements.
