Features of Our Tyre Racking Systems
Optimising your automotive layout, commercial warehouse, or personal workshop requires commercial-grade infrastructure engineered for heavy weights. Our heavy duty tyre racks feature a rugged, steel design built to store tyres safely.
- High Capacity Stepped Beams: Every bay utilizes specialized cold-rolled steel cross-beams configured specifically to cradle tyres securely along their tread radius, avoiding sharp pressure points and structural tipping hazards.
- Fully Welded End Frames: Unlike lightweight bolt-together alternatives, our upright frames arrive pre-welded and ready for immediate deployment, guaranteeing total structural stiffness and immense resistance to accidental impacts.
- Tool-Free Interlocking Setup: Rapidly assemble your workspace racking utilizing a slot together system secured with locking pins. Adjust beam tier heights up and down to instantly match changing stock profiles.
- Commercial Safety Elements: Each beam connection relies on robust steel locking pins to prevent accidental dislodgement during fast-paced manual hand-loading, backed by pre-drilled footplates for secure floor anchoring.
Uses For Heavy Duty Tyre Racking Solutions
Our specialized steel tyre storage frames are engineered to maximize vertical air-space, allowing workshops to clear hazardous floor clutter and streamline everyday picking workflows. Designed for rapid manual handling, our system is widely utilized across the following environments:
- Commercial Tyre Retailers: Organizing high-density inventories of customer passenger tyres, regional stock lines, and seasonal tire variations.
- Mechanical & Tuning Workshops: Staging incoming customer wheels, long-term trade projects, and active vehicle components off the ground to optimize floor safety.
- Automotive Dealerships: Streamlining bulk parts department workflows, keeping premium wheel sets secure, and establishing organized, uniform service bays.
- Residential Garages & Motorsport Sheds: Taming specialized race tires, winter/summer track variants, historical spare sets, and general automotive clutter.
- Shipping Container Conversions: Maximizing tight 20ft or 40ft storage container interiors with custom-fit heavy-duty narrow-depth tyre configurations.
Understanding Longspan Bay Types: Starter vs. Add-On
When planning your warehouse row layout, you can utilize our online filtering options to select the exact bay combination your floor space permits. To construct a rigid, cost-efficient, and continuous run of racking, it is critical to understand how these modules connect:
- Starter Bay (Freestanding System): Consists of two independent upright end frames and a full set of tyre beams. A starter bay is entirely self-supporting and is designed to stand completely alone as your first shelving unit. Every independent row *must* begin with a Starter Bay.
- Add-On Bay (Extension System): Consists of only one upright end frame and a full set of tyre beams. An Add-On bay cannot stand alone; instead, it is engineered mechanically to hook directly into the existing upright frame of your preceding starter unit. This allows you to build an infinitely long, perfectly stable continuous row while sharing a central upright frame, saving you both cost and physical floor space.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many tyres can I fit on each racking level?
▼
If you just need a quick, rough estimate of the size of rack you need to store your tyres, then we’ve found the following table to be a useful guide for how many average-sized passenger tyres you can fit on each level of a tyre rack.
| Racking Width |
Tyres per Level |
| 1.0m |
3 |
| 1.5m |
5 |
| 2.0m |
7 |
| 2.5m |
9 |
Note: Larger 4x4, SUV, and commercial truck tyres will vary from these averages based on their specific section width.

Does this tyre racking come with standard steel shelves?
▼
No. Our specialized tyre racking systems purposefully exclude standard flat steel decks. The open stepped-beam configurations are optimized structurally to suspend tyres directly by their tread framework, which lowers total cost and avoids trapping moisture or warehouse soot.
Can I adjust the tyre tier spacing after the system is assembled?
▼
Yes. The boltless interlocking design allows you to adjust the layout beams at any time. Simply tap the beams free using a rubber mallet and reposition them up or down along the pre-punched vertical frame slots in handy intervals.
What exactly does Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) refer to?
▼
UDL indicates that our heavy duty 300kg weight capacity rating applies only when your stored tyre load is distributed evenly along the full horizontal span of the beam tier. Grouping concentrated heavy loads into a localized area can push components past safe engineering design thresholds.
