Tyre stillages for safe, organised and space saving storage

Lowe’s Tyre Stillage is purpose built to solve the storage challenges posed by bulky tyres. Unlike loose stacking, which creates clutter and safety risks, this stillage features a racking style design with horizontal support bars to keep tyres upright and neatly filed. This setup allows for fast visual identification, with each tyre’s sidewall facing outward.

Constructed from high quality welded steel, the frame is strong, stable and designed to hold a substantial quantity of tyres from passenger and 4×4 tyres to commercial vehicle models. A standout feature is its collapsible modular design: the sides and tie bars can be removed or folded flat when not in use, allowing the unit to be stacked and stored compactly. Many models can be safely stacked two or three high, helping you utilise vertical warehouse space efficiently.

Integrated forklift guides at the base allow easy transport even when fully loaded. This is ideal for busy tyre depots, garages and distribution centres where quick stock movement is essential. By storing tyres securely in an upright rack, tripping hazards and manual strain are reduced making it safer for staff and more efficient for operations.

Key features of our tyre stillages

Racking style frame

A tiered frame with horizontal tie bars supports tyres upright and off the ground. This structure keeps tyres organised by size or type while preventing them from rolling or falling.

Collapsible and removable sides

Designed for flexibility, the stillage can be collapsed flat by removing or folding the side panels and bars. This saves space when not in use and makes return logistics simpler and cheaper.

Forklift guides for mobility

Integrated fork pockets make it easy to transport the stillage safely, even when loaded. Entire racks can be lifted and moved without unloading, saving labour and improving site flow.

Stackable design

Tyre stillages can be safely stacked two high (or more when empty), using reinforced posts and alignment features. This vertical stacking doubles storage capacity within the same footprint.

Durable, automotive grade build

Manufactured from thick, fully welded steel, the Tyre Stillage is built to endure heavy loads and rough handling. Powder coated finishes in high visibility colours resist scratching and corrosion, ensuring professional appearance and low maintenance.

Benefits of tyre stillage storage

Efficient tyre organisation

Tyres are stored visibly and accessibly, sorted by size, type or customer. This improves picking speed and inventory accuracy, especially during seasonal changes or high volume operations.

Space maximisation

Upright racking and stackability reduce your floor space requirements dramatically. Compared to floor stacks, you can store significantly more tyres in the same area while keeping aisles clear.

Improved safety and handling

Reducing the need to lift or shift loose tyres helps prevent strain and injury. Stored at waist height, tyres are easier to access and risks from unstable piles are eliminated. Racks also enable faster, safer movement via forklift.

Protects tyres from damage

Storing tyres upright prevents warping and reduces contact damage. Some models include smooth supports or protective sleeves to avoid marks on whitewalls or sensitive finishes, extending tyre quality and service life.

Flexible and scalable system

Whether you’re a small garage or a large distributor, our tyre stillage system can scale to meet your needs. Racks can be collapsed, transported and reassembled quickly ideal for seasonal use or mobile operations like motorsport teams.

Frequently asked questions

How many tyres can a single stillage hold?

Capacity depends on tyre and rack size. A typical 2.4m wide stillage can hold 8–10 car tyres per level. With three tiers, that’s around 24–30 tyres per unit. For larger tyres, expect fewer per tier. We can provide exact figures based on your tyre specifications.

Is the Tyre Stillage adjustable for different tyre sizes?

Yes. The tie bars accommodate a range of tyre diameters and some models allow bar repositioning or removal for oversize tyres. Custom widths and configurations are also available for unique needs such as agricultural or motorsport tyres.

Can the stillages be moved when loaded?

Absolutely. Built in forklift guides enable safe movement of fully loaded racks. Some models can also be fitted with lockable castor wheels for manual mobility in workshops or fitting bays. For longer distances, racks can be forklifted onto lorries or containers for transport.

Do the tyre stillages require assembly?

Tyre stillages are usually delivered flat packed to save space. Assembly is simple and involves securing side panels and tie bars using supplied hardware. Most users can assemble a stillage within minutes using basic tools.

What maintenance is required?

Minimal maintenance is needed. Periodically check for structural damage or chipped paint, especially after forklift handling. If used outdoors, touch up any paint scratches to prevent rust. Hinges on collapsible models may benefit from occasional oiling, but overall, upkeep is very low.
