Heavy Duty Portable PCR Tire Rack | Adjustable Steel Truck Tire Storage Stillage for Automotive Parts Warehouses
Application Case: Heavy Duty Portable PCR Tire Rack in the Automotive Parts Industry
How Kinsto's Storage Solutions Optimize Warehouse Operations for Auto Parts Distributors
Case Overview
An automotive parts warehouse in Europe faced significant challenges in organizing and storing a high volume of PCR (Passenger Car Radial) tires and truck tires. The existing storage method was inefficient, leading to wasted floor space, difficulty in inventory counting, and potential safety hazards from unstacked tires. By implementing Kinsto's Heavy Duty Portable PCR Tire Rack (Model: KST2558), the warehouse achieved a systematic, space-saving, and safe storage solution.
Previous Challenges
- Space Inefficiency: Tires were laid flat on the floor or poorly stacked, consuming excessive warehouse footprint.
- Poor Accessibility: Retrieving specific tire sizes was time-consuming and disrupted the storage arrangement.
- Inventory Management Difficulty: Manual counting was error-prone due to disorganized storage.
- Safety Concerns: Unstable stacks posed a risk of falling and injury to workers.
- Lack of Mobility: Fixed storage made reconfiguring the warehouse layout a labor-intensive process.
Kinsto Solution Implemented
- Product: Heavy Duty Portable PCR Tire Rack & Adjustable Steel Truck Tire Stillage.
- Material & Build: Corrosion-resistant powder-coated steel for durability in warehouse environments.
- Key Features Utilized: Portable/Skid-mount design, customizable size (100*100*30cm base), and high load capacity.
- Customization: Racks were customized with the client's logo and corporate color (Blue) for brand consistency.
- Layout: Multiple units deployed in rows, creating dedicated tire storage aisles for easy forklift access.
Results & Benefits Achieved
Space Optimization Increased by 60%
Vertical storage design allowed tires to be stacked safely and efficiently, dramatically reducing the floor space required per tire and freeing up area for other inventory.
Improved Operational Efficiency
Forklifts can easily access and move entire loaded racks. The clear organization by size/spec on different racks reduced picking time by an estimated 40%.
Enhanced Safety & Inventory Control
Stable, designated storage eliminated fall hazards. The organized system made visual inventory checks and cycle counting fast and accurate.
Scalable & Flexible Storage
The portable design allows the warehouse manager to quickly rearrange the storage layout to accommodate seasonal stock changes or peak periods.
