Abstract
A method of storage for this tire storage system will be Semi-Trailers in various length and width, some being drop-deck van boxes, some straight van box trailers and various lengths from 24′ to 53′. Also included are ground level containers ranging from 20′ to 53′ long; sometimes referred to as Conex boxes or overseas shipping containers. The inside of the trailer/container will have from one to thirty sections, each having one to six layers of storage space for the vertical storage of tires. Each section beams are adjustable from floor to ceiling. Beams will be between 3′ and 15′ in length.
Claims5
A tire storage system comprising:
- a semi trailer with a floor, opposing walls, and a ceiling defining an internal storage space;
- and
- right and left racks extending a majority of a length of the semi trailer, the right and left racks each having horizontally-spaced pairs of first beams supported by vertically-spaced pairs of second beams, the second beams on the right and left racks defining an access pathway therebetween, the first beams defining at least a lower tier, a middle tier and an upper tier with the first and second tiers each having a width suitable for storing tires in a vertical orientation with treads facing toward the access pathway in a configuration where a worker can see identification on each tire stored on the racks and where the worker can select any specific tire without moving a second tire out of the way.
