Tyre Racks and Tyre Trolleys

Tyre rack and tyre trolley for garage and warehouse

A tyre rack keeps order in a tyre service, vehicle workshop, seasonal store or company fleet. This category offers sturdy steel tyre racks, tyre trolleys and tyre wheelbarrows from VARIOfit, plus add-on levels and accessories: connecting tubes, spacers, tube protectors and plastic feet.

All units are welded from steel, powder-coated or galvanised, and designed for tyres and wheels from 540 to 820 mm in diameter. VARIOfit is a brand of the German company Cordes, and the products are made in Poland at the Cordes plant. A tyre rack or trolley lets you keep complete sets of wheels in one place instead of stacking them on the floor, so you find the right set faster.

How to choose a tyre rack or tyre trolley

A few questions help before you buy:

• Tyre diameter. The products in this category are designed for tyres from 540 to 820 mm in diameter. If some of your tyres are 820 mm, consider the spacers.
• Storage or transport. A rack stays in place, a trolley can be moved. For carrying single wheels around the workshop, use a tyre wheelbarrow.
• Number of sets. The basic rack has 2 levels. If you need more space, add extra levels or connecting tubes instead of buying another rack.
• Height and space. The rack is 1325 mm high, the trolley 1430 mm, the low wheelbarrow 1165 mm and the high one 1600 mm. Measure doorways and ceiling height.
• Working environment. For damp rooms consider a galvanised wheelbarrow; for a uniform look in the hall choose RAL 5010 or RAL 7016.
