Are you wondering what kinds of tires fit into tyre stillages? These are specially designed racks that accommodate various tire types safely and efficiently.
Tyre stillages are suitable for storing all kinds of tires, including motorcycle tires, passenger car tires, light truck tires, truck tires, and OTR tires. They are built to support different diameters, widths, and weights, making them versatile for diverse tire storage needs.
Their modular design allows for the storage of many tire types, accommodating both small and large tires securely. Whether you're managing a warehouse with motorcycle tires or heavy machinery tires, tyre stillages provide a safe, organized solution that maximizes space and prevents deformation or damage.
How Many Tyres Can a Tyre Stillage Hold?
The capacity of a tyre stillage depends on the tire's size and the rack's dimensions. Typically, a standard tyre stillage can hold between 40 to 80 passenger car tires. For larger tires, such as truck or engineering tires, the capacity ranges from 6 to 30 tires per stillage.
For example, if storing passenger vehicle tires, one will generally fit 40-80 tires per stillage, which greatly improves storage efficiency. If you need a precise number based on your tire dimensions, we can help calculate the maximum capacity for your specific tires. Properly designed stillages ensure each tire is kept upright or horizontal, supporting stability and preventing deformation.
| Tire Type | Typical Capacity per Stillage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Motorcycle tires | 50-100 tires | Compact, lightweight |
| Passenger car tires | 40-80 tires | Common tire size |
| Light truck tires | 20-40 tires | Slightly larger, heavier |
| Heavy-duty truck/engineering tires | 6-30 tires | Very large, heavy |
Are Tyre Stillages Stackable and Safe for Warehouse Storage?
Yes, tyre stillages are designed to be stackable and safe. They are usually made of Q235B steel, welded for strength, and powder-coated for durability. Their design includes two types: one foldable, with tires vertically placed on top, and another with a pipe-insert design for horizontal placement.
After testing, a single layer on a tyre stillage can support from 1 to 1.5 tons. They are designed to stack 4-5 layers high, providing stable vertical storage aligned with safety standards. When stacked correctly, each level remains stable, preventing tipping or deformation, and they meet common material handling safety requirements.
Their stackability helps maximize warehouse space without compromising safety or stability. Proper stacking and regular inspections ensure they remain safe during transport, storage, and handling.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | Q235B steel with powder coating for durability |
| Design Types | Foldable for ease of handling, pipe-insert for horizontal storage |
| Load Capacity | 1-1.5 tons per layer |
| Stack Height | Typically 4-5 layers |
In brief, tyre stillages are strong, stackable, and versatile storage solutions, helping warehouse managers organize tires safely while maximizing space.
