Wheel storage system

verticalautomatedfor aircraft

Overview
Vertical tyre carousel systems provide dense, organised storage for wheels and tyres in industrial environments. This automatic tyre rack optimises floor and overhead space while ensuring quick, ergonomic access to each tyre. Multiple configurations are available to adapt to tyre dimensions and site constraints.

Applications

• Complete wheels and separate tyres
• Passenger vehicles, utility vehicles and 4×4
• Aircraft tyres and motorcycle tyres
• Workshops, logistics hubs and tyre distributors
• Compatible with common tyre sizes (examples: 255/50/19, 315/35/20, 275/40/20)

Storage method
The vertical carousel is built from racks in standard or bespoke lengths. Total capacity depends on tyre width and carousel height/length. Models typically store 100–300 tyres depending on average tyre width. Installation can be wall-mounted, back-to-back or free-standing with dual access and can feed mezzanines via a load-lift version.

Options and accessories

• Dividers and customised partitions
• Rack numbering and location coding
• Forward/reverse control, mezzanine integration and PLC interface
• Cell rails and full housing for environmental protection
• Removable anti-theft rails and bespoke accessories on request

Loading and unloading
Manual loading/unloading at an ergonomic picking height. Standard control is press-and-hold to position the desired rack; bi-directional rotation and location code entry enable rapid retrieval. Can be adapted for mechanised loading where required.

User interface and control
Control modes include press-and-hold, maintained action, automated sequences or PLC control. Touchscreen control is available as an option. System supports location code entry and simple push-button operation for quick access.

Operational benefits

• Ergonomic access reduces operator strain
• Fast retrieval using location codes or direct control
• Optimised use of vertical building space
• Improved stock management and integration with ERP/WMS
• Designed for heavy/bulky items with configurable solutions per application
