Tyre Racking & Tyre Storage Solutions

Using the right tyre racking system delivers a number of practical benefits for your workshop or garage:

• You save money by reducing damage and extending tyre life, rather than replacing stock prematurely.
• Your workplace looks neat and tidy, with simple stocking and easy access for technicians.
• Tyres are kept out of direct sunlight and rain, protecting rubber from UV damage and moisture.
• You can safely store tyres and wheel assemblies in various sizes and weights on a single system.

Every workshop layout is different, which is why we offer both mobile and fixed tyre racking systems. Wall-mounted racks are ideal when you want to keep floor areas clear and make use of long walls in MOT bays or fitting areas. Free-standing racking suits central runs or areas where walls aren’t suitable for fixing.

For sites where space is tight or stock levels are high, mobile tyre racking can dramatically increase storage capacity. By closing up aisles when they aren’t in use, you can store more tyres in the same footprint while still maintaining safe access. Polstore can design and install complete workshop setups that combine tyre racking with shelving, workstations and other storage elements to create a practical, well-organised workspace.

Choosing the right tyre racking starts with understanding your available space and the types of tyres you store. The simplest way to plan is to measure your clear run of wall or floor space, start with a starter bay and then add extension bays until you’ve used the space efficiently.

Polstore tyre storage systems are designed to be straightforward to plan and install. We offer tyre racks in a variety of designs, including longspan and galvanised steel options, so you can match the load capacity and finish to your workshop. If you’re unsure which configuration will work best, our team can talk you through beam lengths, bay heights and the right number of levels for your tyre mix.

Good tyre storage is about more than just somewhere to put spare sets. Seasonal changeovers, fleet work and customer tyre hotels all demand a structured approach to storage. It’s important to think ahead about where winter and summer tyres will be kept, how they’ll be labelled and how quickly you need to access them.

If tyres are not stored on proper tyre racks, their lifespan can be shortened by pressure points, flat spots or accidental damage. Tyres should be kept in a cool, completely dry location, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can discolour and degrade the rubber, while damp areas can affect wheels and fixings. Well-planned racking, combined with sensible positioning in your building, helps protect your customers’ and your own stock.

Proper tyre storage is essential if you want to offer a professional service and protect the value of your stock. The best place for tyres is a clean, dry and well-ventilated indoor space, where they are protected from moisture, temperature extremes and sunlight. Keeping tyres off the ground on a racking system helps prevent warping and deformation, especially when they are stored for longer periods.

Polstore wall-mounted and free-standing tyre racks use open-sided frames to encourage airflow, while the beam profiles are designed to support tyres without cutting into the tread or sidewall. Angled beams can help tyres sit securely, reducing movement and the risk of accidental damage. If you have specialist requirements, such as mixed car and van tyres, or complete wheel and tyre sets, we can design a bespoke layout to suit.

The cost of tyre racking depends on the size of the system, the materials, the load capacity and whether you need static or mobile solutions. Smaller garage setups with a few bays will be at the lower end of the scale, while larger workshops with multiple runs or multi-level storage will require a more substantial investment.

At Polstore, we aim to offer cost-effective tyre storage racks without compromising on quality or safety. Longspan racking options are available for larger storage needs, and we can mix and match bay sizes to keep costs sensible while still giving you room to grow. If you’d like a budget estimate or a fully costed proposal, our team can guide you through the options.

Polstore has a long track record of delivering specialist storage systems for demanding applications, including motorsport, military and aerospace environments. When the United States Air Force needed a way to store tyres for F-15 and F-35 aircraft, we developed a heavy-duty mobile racking system that protected tyres from damage and coped with 24/7 use.

That project involved a bespoke mobile base, reinforced flooring and galvanised shelving designed for high loads and frequent movement. The result was a compacted storage solution that reduced wastage, improved access and ensured tyres were stored safely from workshop to aircraft. The same principles of protection, efficiency and reliability are built into every tyre racking system we install for garages and workshops.

The Polstore team is as committed to your project as you are to your workshop. Where needed, our project sales team will follow a clear, staged plan of work, understanding your goals, developing ideas, preparing budgets, co-ordinating layouts and overseeing manufacture and installation.

We can survey your site, model different options and recommend the most efficient approach to tyre storage within your overall layout. On installation, we work to minimise disruption and hand over a system that’s ready to use from day one.

If your requirements go beyond standard tyre racks, Polstore can help with fully bespoke workshop storage solutions. We are used to working with complex layouts, mixed product ranges and specific operational challenges, drawing on a strong network of suppliers and our in-house experience.s
