Store more tire inventory in less floor space while keeping every stored tire accessible from a single operator station. This motorized vertical tire carousel uses available overhead space and rotates the selected carrier to a comfortable loading and retrieval height. Instead of spreading tires across long rows of rack or stacking them where the lower tires are difficult to reach, the system brings the requested carrier directly to the operator.

For tire retailers, dealership service departments, fleets, and distribution operations, this creates a more organized tire-storage workflow in less floor space, with quicker access to the requested tire and less climbing, searching, bending, and repeated material handling during everyday work.

Configured for tires up to 33 inches in diameter, model SSC-TI-160-17-6L provides an estimated capacity of approximately 158 tires. This model uses 6 rotating tire carriers. Tires may be stored with or without rims, making the system suitable for seasonal inventory, replacement tires, fleet operations, dealership service departments, and high-volume tire distribution.

How the Vertical Tire Carousel Works

The operator uses simple controls to rotate the carousel until the required tire carrier reaches the access position. Each carrier uses three pipes in a triangular arrangement to cradle the tires, with a top limiter bar for support and tire-size visibility. Two adjustable tire dividers are provided on each standard carrier to help separate tire types and keep inventory organized. The carousel brings the tires to the operator, reducing the need to climb ladders, search through stacks, or make repeated forklift moves just to reach stored inventory.

Why Use a Tire Storage Carousel?

Recover valuable floor space: A properly planned tire carousel can save up to 80% of the floor space used by conventional storage methods. Actual savings depend on the existing layout and inventory mix.
Improve retrieval speed: Point-of-use access keeps tire inventory in one organized location and brings the selected carrier to the work area.
Reduce awkward handling: Delivering tires at an ergonomic access height can reduce bending, overhead reaching, ladder use, and manual handling from unsafe positions.
Support better inventory organization: Carrier dividers help separate sizes, types, brands, seasonal sets, or customer-assigned tires.
Choose a durable, straightforward system: The simple motorized design uses easy-to-learn controls and a durable powder-coated finish without requiring a complex computer-controlled VLM.
Expand storage without expanding the building: Using vertical space can create room for additional inventory, service activity, staging, or other revenue-producing operations.

Configuration and Project Planning

Tire carousels are engineered storage systems, so the final configuration should be reviewed for the facility and the tires being stored. Available choices can include special colors, security or scissors gates, alternate control locations, dual-sided access, and installation support. Custom carriers can also be considered for less common tire sizes or specialized handling requirements.

For an accurate quote, provide the tire diameter and typical tire width, whether tires will be stored with rims, desired inventory capacity, available ceiling height, preferred loading and retrieval location, facility voltage, access-control requirements, and installation address. Freight is normally coordinated as a dedicated-truck shipment, so site access and unloading requirements should also be reviewed.

Built for Long-Term Tire Storage

These USA-made vertical tire storage carousels fill the gap between static rack storage and more complex automated storage equipment. They are intended for facilities that need a durable, cost-effective way to store more tires, retrieve them faster, and maintain a cleaner, more organized work area.
