Get a QuoteTyres are dynamic polymer products with strict physical storage requirements. Storing tyres on inappropriate shelving causes bead deformation, structural flat spots, and serious health, safety, and fire compliance liabilities.
At DEXION RACKING, our specialised tyre storage solutions are engineered around the exact mechanical geometry and weight distributions of modern passenger car (PCR), commercial SUV/4x4, electric vehicle (EV), and commercial truck/bus radial (TBR) tyres. By replacing standard sharp rectangular pallet beams with custom-engineered bevelled, stepped, or rounded circular tubular beams, our systems cradle the tyre tread across multiple radial tangents. This design eliminates concentrated stress points, ensuring tyres remain perfectly round and structurally undamaged even across prolonged multi-season storage cycles.
Whether you are outfitting a rapid seasonal changeover tyre hotel, an OEM automotive dealership service centre, or an expansive regional tyre distribution hub, DEXION RACKING delivers high cubic density alongside 100% SKU selectivity and full NFPA / EN fire safety integration.
Engineered tyre storage solutions delivering optimal density and rubber preservation
Engineered to match varying warehouse heights, handling equipment, SKU turnover rates, and specific operational models.
Industry Standard Built upon the heavy-duty DEXION RACKING P90 platform, utilizing dedicated tyre support beams for upright storage of loose tyres or complete wheel assemblies with instantaneous manual or order-picker access.
Seasonal Hotels Harness the full clear height of high-ceiling warehouses. Multi-tier installations multiply accessible floor space 2x to 4x, integrating integrated walkways, tyre chutes, and vertical goods lifts for intensive seasonal changeovers.
Max Density Mounting tyre racking superstructures on motorized rails eliminates static access corridors. Operable via WMS or remote control, it unlocks up to 80% more tyre positions within prime commercial footprints where expansion is impossible.
Boltless modular tyre shelving tailored for automotive dealerships, fitment garages, and rapid-fit centres. Designed for fast manual assembly, ergonomic shelf heights, and effortless adjustments as seasonal wheel dimensions shift.
Heavy-duty structural cantilever systems and stackable steel tyre stillages designed to support enormous Agricultural, Off-The-Road (OTR), and heavy earthmover tyres exceeding 2,500kg per individual unit with comprehensive handling safety.
Automation Ready High-tolerance precision steel racking engineered for seamless integration with automated stacker cranes, tyre gantry robots, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for tier-1 distribution centres operating 24/7 dark warehouses.
Tyre rubber possesses viscoelastic memory. Inadequate beam geometry concentrates static weight onto narrow strip contacts, creating flat spots and compromised bead seals.
DEXION RACKING tyre storage solutions utilize specialized cold-formed profile geometries. Rather than flat flanges, our beams incorporate angled seating bevels (typically 15° to 25° inclination) or cylindrical tubular steps. This ensures that the round circumference of the tyre settles naturally between front and rear beams, distributing contact pressure across broad tangential bands.
Furthermore, our beam span configurations (ranging from 1,200mm up to 3,000mm) are precision-engineered to eliminate mid-span beam deflection beyond 1/200th of the span, preventing adjacent tyres from pinching into one another under heavy multi-wheel loads.

Heavy-duty uprights and custom beam profiles engineered for high-bay tyre loading
Global supply chain pressures, automotive electrification, and micro-fulfillment models are transforming how fleet managers and 3PL operators invest in tyre racking infrastructure.
Electric vehicles (EVs) carry substantially greater gross vehicle weights due to high-voltage traction batteries, requiring tyres with reinforced sidewalls, sound-damping acoustic foam linings, and heavier internal steel belting. Consequently, the average tyre assembly is 20% to 35% heavier than legacy ICE vehicle tyres. Forward-thinking procurement teams are upgrading racking load specifications, demanding higher linear meter beam ratings to avoid catastrophic structural failure over time.
Urban density, shrinking domestic garage storage, and stringent seasonal wheel-changeover legislation across Europe, North America, and Northern Asia have spurred exponential growth in commercial "Tyre Hotels". Dealerships and dedicated 3PLs are investing heavily in multi-tier mezzanine tyre racks with barcode and RFID scanning integrations, moving from manual floor stacking to fully managed cubic multi-tier storage assets.
Tyre handling is notoriously labor-intensive, physically demanding, and injury-prone. Modern regional distribution centres are rapidly adopting automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and robotic arm tyre handlers. This transition requires millimetre-precise racking tolerances, rigid beam deflections, and specialized guide rails manufactured to the highest international quality standards.
Tyres burn at extreme thermal heat release rates and generate noxious, highly combustible pyrolysis oils. Municipal fire marshals and international insurers are tightening enforcement of ESFR (Early Suppression Fast Response) sprinkler arrays, mandatory vertical flue gaps, and in-rack sprinkler barriers. Procurement contracts increasingly require racking suppliers to demonstrate integrated sprinkler bracket mounts and guaranteed chimney-space geometry.
Rather than pouring new concrete, enterprise warehouse managers are retrofitting existing facilities. Modular tyre racking frameworks that can be reconfigured from passenger tyres to commercial van tyres—or disassembled and relocated as logistics networks shift—are commanding higher procurement priority over rigid, welded systems. DEXION RACKING's fully modular boltless clip-in designs lead this circular operational model.
