Abstract
A rack apparatus for tire rings includes a base having a rigid frame coupled thereto. The base includes a plurality of spaced apart members configured to receive manipulating components of a material handling device for transportation to a desired location. The frame is coupled to the base and includes a plurality of receiving members configured to removably receive at least one tire ring thereon.
Claims17
A rack apparatus, comprising:
- a base including a plurality of spaced apart elongate members, a plurality of cross members coupled to at least one of the elongate members, at least one first guide member coupled to at least one of the elongate members, and at least one second guide member coupled to at least one of the cross members, wherein each of the elongate members is configured to cooperate with a manipulating component of a material handling device;
- and
- a frame coupled to the base, wherein the frame includes at least one stanchion having at least one receiving member disposed thereon, the at least one receiving member configured to removably receive at least one tire ring thereon and at least a portion of the manipulating component of the material handling device in an open end thereof.
A rack apparatus, comprising:
- a base including a plurality of spaced apart elongate members, a plurality of cross members coupled to at least one of the elongate member, at least one first guide member coupled to at least one of the elongate members, and at least one second guide member coupled to at least one of the cross members, wherein each of the elongate members is configured to cooperate with a manipulating component of a material handling device;
- and
- a frame coupled to the base, wherein the frame includes at least one stanchion having at least one receiving member disposed thereon, the at least one receiving member configured to removably receive at least one tire ring thereon and at least a portion of the manipulating component of the material handling device in an open end thereof, and wherein the frame is configured to receive another rack apparatus thereon in stacked relationship.
A method of transporting a tire ring, comprising the steps of:
- providing a rack apparatus including a base having a plurality of elongate members, a plurality of cross members coupled to at least one of the elongate members, at least one first guide member counted to at least one of the elongate members, and at least one second guide member coupled to at least one of the cross members, and a frame coupled to the base, wherein the frame includes at least one receiving member configured to removably receive the tire ring thereon and at least a portion of a manipulating component of a material handling device in an open end thereof;
- and
- causing the rack apparatus to move from a first desired position to a second desired position using the material handling device.
