Wire decking, or racks, serve a very important purpose in the safety of your storage space.  Racks, and all storage, need to work with your existing fire prevention systems in order to be safe.  What a perforated deck will do for your storage facilities is allow water to sluice through the rack in the event of a fire, allowing flames to be extinguished beneath the racks.  This essential safety feature makes the racks an active participant, not a hindrance, to the safety of your facility.  This also helps your tire rack to pass important fire safety codes and keep you operating.  The ratio of holes to solid deck gives good support to the tires and will not leave marks on the tires in the portable rack.

Tire Rack, Tire RacksAnother style of stacking rack uses wire mesh decking. This decking is less expensive than perforated metal decking and has larger openings in the deck. This is a good option if your tires are in and out of your warehouse rack frequently and the wire deck doesn't have time to leave marks on your product. Naturally, the least expensive portable stack rack for tires has no decking at all. The inner and outer rack beams are located so they support the tires. This works best if you do not have people standing on the rack as they load or unload the tires, since the rack beams do not provide as secure a work surface as a deck does.

While there are any number of reasons to buy American-made products, including helping American companies, putting money back into the economy,and growing the job market, a reason that should hit closer to home for companies is quality.  American made racks, such as the Tire Racks manufactured by Tier-Rack Corporation, are built in manufacturing centers located here, ensuring quality.  As Tier-Rack designs, sells, and manufactures the racks here, customers can be assured that every step in the
process is Made In America.

Tire Rack, Tire RacksThis extends to quality.  When a Tier-Rack sales rep or engineer tells you that their racks are 14 gauge, you can be assured that they will be.  Making sure that the racks are the correct weight ensures that you know that you have gotten the thickness and stability that you paid for.  Your engineer or sales rep can tell you the weight that your rack should be at, and the racks
can be weighed, or stacked and weighed for an average to determine the gauge by weight.

When making a major purchase, you want to trust the supplier you buy from. If you buy a TV, you want to know you will get the Sony you paid for, not a box with a raccoon in it.  Creating this trust in business to business sales is a little different. Tier-Rack Corporation, for example, has created this trust in their Stack Rack system by being accountable for their products.
Tier-Rack sales people are the first people you talk to when you call to order, and the last people you speak to after you place your order.  For example, when you purchase a tire rack from Tier-Rack, the sales team takes your order, the in house engineering team designs your rack, the United States-based manufacturing warehouse fabricates the rack, and it's delivered
to you.  Tier-Rack's sales team also follows with you every step - including helping to deal with inspectors and regulators if necessary.

Tire Rack, Tire RacksHowever, not every company follows these guidelines.  There are horror stories about companies receiving 16 gauge racks instead of the 14 gauge that they have ordered.  How can you determine that you've gotten what you've paid for?  The only way to be sure, and this is with any rack company, is to weigh.  Ask your supplier what the weight should be on these racks, and weigh them when they arrive.  Don't take delivery on racks that come in too light, as that means that the supplier has skimped on the metal, and delivered you an inferior product.  Many racks, particularly those manufactured outside of the US, suffer from lighter gauge tubing and inferior manufacturing, and will not hold up over the long run.

Not everything works as well after it's been used.  Gum comes to mind.  Also underwear.  However, sometimes, buying a product used can give you an advantage, and that's where Used Tire Racks come in.  Tire racks, while infinitely customizable, can be used by different businesses repeatedly, as many businesses sell the same type or size of tires.  This is where Tier-Rack can step in and make it easier for businesses to save money on their tire storage needs.

Tier-Rack helps find used racks that can fit the customer, and delivers them into the hands that need them.  We operate as a re-seller for racks that otherwise may be impossible to find, as we scour the country looking for the best deals on the widest variety of used tire racks.  Finding these aren't easy, but our staff of sales professionals can find you the used tire rack that you need.

Used Tire RacksAs such, we also BUY used racks.  Many companies, when changing product or moving to larger/smaller facilities, will change and adapt their rack space accordingly.  We are there to help facilitate this process with you, to let you move on from your used tire racks and help you find a new home for them.  This allows us to have racks for our customers, and help keep everyone who wants to buy OR sell used tire racks happy.

Military bases often have the biggest need for storage solutions, due to the extensive list of differently used equipment that a military base needs to utilize.  From heavy vehicles to motorcycles, just the tire storage needs of a military base can be a headache.  Tier-Rack Corporation knows the issues that you face in storing all of these different sized tires for the vehicles that need to be in fighting shape at all times.

Military equipment requires sturdy racking. Tier-Rack designs racks for heavy trucks, buses and OTR tires (farm tractors, mining machinery, etc). We have designed tire storage racks for the U.S. Air Force, Navy and other military entities.  Our racks allow for multiple tires to be moved at one time, thereby reducing handling time and  risks of injuries.  Tier-Rack military tire rack can also be used with full wheel assemblies provided that we are provided with accurate weights prior to manufacturing.

Tire Rack, Tire RacksWe can create a rack specially designed to hold your tires standing on tread or barrel stacked.  This tire storage system can be made to hold any size tires.  Tire capacity is determined by the length and configuration of the rack (quantity may vary with the size of the tires). The tire storage rack can also be equipped with ramps that can be used to roll a tire into the rack and can serve to hold the tires in place.  

The versatility of Tier-Rack, combined with the engineering ability and manufacturing power, creates a perfect solution for the problems of needing to provide storage for a multitude of different vehicle tire shapes and sizes, with our ability to design based on tread width, tire size, or any other potential wrinkle we need to work around.  

Our sales team is also a major advantage of our company.  We do not outsource the racks, we design, manufacture and sell these racks ourselves, giving us an ability to adapt to changing needs as very few companies can match.  Tier-Rack Corporation has been a leader in rack solutions and flexible warehouse racking systems for almost sixty years.
