Why Choose Vidir Tire Carousel?

The Vidir Tire Carousel replaces ladder-and-shelf tire racks with a motorized vertical carousel that rotates carriers up and down, bringing the requested tire set to the operator at waist height. Instead of employees climbing ladders or forklifts to reach overhead racks — a leading cause of back injuries in dealership and service-center back rooms — the carousel delivers tires on demand at the push of a button.

Because every model is built to order, MH-USA specs each unit around your tire mix (28″, 33″, or 44″ max diameter) and ceiling height, so you get maximum capacity from the footprint you actually have available.

Innovative Design and Capabilities

Three carrier platforms cover the full range of tire storage needs: the T39 for passenger and light-truck tires up to 28″ diameter, the T45 for larger truck and SUV tires up to 33″, and the heavy-duty HT54 for tires up to 44″ — including commercial truck and aviation applications. Each carrier holds up to 1,000–2,000 lbs., with the largest standard configurations storing over 300 tires in a single unit.

Security and Durability

Every Tire Carousel ships standard with forward/reverse push-button controls, a security keypad, and an emergency stop. Mesh guarding front and back keeps tires contained during rotation, and the frame is built on a rated chain-drive system — 13,000 lbs. overall chain rating, with off-balance ratings up to 2,500 lbs. depending on carrier size. Units carry the cCSAus safety mark and a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Economic and Space Efficiency

By storing tires vertically instead of stacking them on the floor, the carousel reclaims up to 70% of the floor space a traditional tire rack requires — space that can go back into service bays, additional inventory, or revenue-generating work areas. Retrieval speed runs about 26.5 ft. per minute, so a technician isn’t waiting on the system while a customer’s vehicle sits on the lift.

Introduction to Vidir Tire Carousel: A Revolution in Tire Storage

Welcome to the world of the Vidir Tire Carousel, a groundbreaking solution in the realm of tire storage.

This innovative system has proven not just easy to sell but indispensable for a myriad of businesses dealing with the cumbersome task of tire storage. It’s not an overstatement to say that the Vidir Tire Carousel almost sells itself, thanks to its remarkable efficiency and utility.

Tire storage is a common headache for many industries.

Whether it’s a car dealership with a variety of models, a municipal facility housing tires for police cars and fire trucks, or service centers for heavy vehicles like trucks and buses, the challenge is universal. Tires are bulky, heavy, and often expensive. Storing them in a manner that’s both space-efficient and accessible has always been a challenge. This is where the Vidir Tire Carousel comes into play, transforming the way tires are stored, accessed, and managed.

The Vidir Tire Carousel is used across dealerships, independent tire and service centers, municipal and fleet garages, distribution centers, and aviation maintenance facilities — anywhere a business stores more tires than floor-level racking can handle safely.

“The problem that we were having is that when we were stacking tires on the ground, it was a workers’ compensation issue — guys would bend over and hurt their backs… What I like most about the Vidir carousel is that it not only solved our problem, it holds a lot of tires in a minimum amount of square footage. I would recommend that anyone who has a tire storage issue buy one.”
— David Floyd, President, Professional Auto Transport

One of the core issues the carousel addresses is the physical strain and safety risk of manual tire handling — a 50–80 lb. tire retrieved from an overhead rack, day after day, is a real workers’ comp exposure. Bringing the tire to the operator at an ergonomic height removes that risk entirely.

Innovative Design and Capabilities of the Vidir Tire Carousel

The Vidir Tire Carousel is not just a storage solution; it’s a masterpiece of design and engineering, tailored to meet the diverse needs of various industries that handle tire storage. This section delves into the innovative design and capabilities that set the Vidir Tire Carousel apart from traditional storage methods.

Adaptable Design for Diverse Needs

The carousel’s design is remarkably adaptable, catering to a wide range of tire sizes and types. The T39 carrier platform accommodates passenger car tires up to 28″ in diameter, addressing the most common tire storage needs with ease — a popular fit for car dealerships and municipal fleet facilities that handle standard vehicles.

For larger requirements, the T45 platform handles tires up to 33″ in diameter.

This variant is tailored for light trucks and SUVs, making it an ideal choice for dealerships as well as municipal police and fire departments. Its ability to also store smaller car tires adds to its versatility.

The largest of the Vidir Tire Carousel’s platforms, the HT54, is designed for large, heavy-duty tires such as those used on commercial trucks and aviation ground equipment.

With a maximum diameter of 44″, this platform is built for trucking fleets, distribution centers, and aviation maintenance facilities that need to store larger, heavier tires without sacrificing floor space.

Ergonomic and Safe Tire Handling

One of the most significant advantages of the Vidir Tire Carousel is its ergonomic design. The system elevates tires to a convenient height for operators, eliminating the need for risky and strenuous manual lifting. This not only enhances safety but also boosts efficiency, as tires can be retrieved and stored much more quickly compared to traditional methods. The ergonomic design aligns with OSHA regulations, ensuring a safer workplace and reducing the likelihood of injuries.

Smart Use of Vertical Space

The Vidir Tire Carousel’s vertical storage design is a game-changer in space utilization. By capitalizing on vertical space, the carousel dramatically reduces the floor space required for tire storage. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with limited space, allowing them to store a larger number of tires without expanding their physical footprint.

Durability and Reliability

Built to withstand the rigors of constant use, the Vidir Tire Carousel is a model of durability and reliability. Its construction is robust, ensuring that it can handle the weight and bulk of various tire types without compromising on performance. This durability translates into a long service life, making it a cost-effective solution in the long term.

Customization for Specific Requirements

Recognizing that every business has unique needs, the Vidir Tire Carousel offers extensive customization options. From the size and capacity of the carousel to specific features like security gates and ramps, businesses can tailor the system to their exact requirements. This flexibility ensures that the carousel can be integrated seamlessly into existing workflows and spaces.

Security Features

Security is a critical aspect of tire storage, especially for high-value tires. The Vidir Tire Carousel addresses this with optional security gates and keypads, preventing unauthorized access and reducing the risk of theft. This feature is particularly valuable in high-turnover environments like trucking service centers, ensuring that valuable tire inventories are kept secure.

Multilevel Access for Enhanced Efficiency

A standout feature of the Vidir Tire Carousel is its ability to provide multilevel access. This design element makes it possible to link operations between different floors, further enhancing the efficiency of tire retrieval and storage. It’s an innovative approach that maximizes the utility of the carousel in complex, multi-story facilities.

Conclusion

The Vidir Tire Carousel represents a significant leap forward in tire storage and handling. Its innovative design addresses the core challenges faced by various industries, offering a solution that is not only space-efficient and ergonomic but also adaptable and secure. By incorporating this system into their operations, businesses can significantly improve their tire storage capabilities, ensuring a safer, more efficient, and more organized workplace.

The Vidir Tire Carousel is more than just a storage system; it’s a testament to innovative thinking and a commitment to solving real-world challenges.

This is particularly useful in preventing unauthorized access in 24/7 operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tires can a Vidir Tire Carousel hold?
Standard carousels in this line run from about 65 tires (44″ maximum diameter models) up to roughly 315 tires (28″ maximum diameter models), with published model capacity up to 352 tires on the largest standard configuration. The right model depends on tire diameter, ceiling height and available footprint — our team sizes the unit to your actual inventory.
Does the carousel work with tires that still have rims mounted?
Yes. The carriers are built to accept tires with or without rims, which is common for dealership seasonal-swap programs where customer tire-and-wheel sets are stored as a set.
Can we operate it manually if we don't need a fully motorized system?
Yes. Vidir tire carousels are available as semi-automated (manually indexed) or fully motorized units, so a facility can match the investment to how often the carousel needs to cycle in a shift.
What keeps tires secure once they're stored?
A keypad restricts who can operate the unit, and an optional enclosed security gate physically blocks access to the stored carriers — useful for reducing tire theft or unauthorized removal in shared service areas.
How much floor space does it actually save?
It depends on your current static racking layout and ceiling height, but moving from floor-level racks to a vertical carousel typically recovers up to about 70% of the floor space previously used for the same tire count, since storage grows up instead of out.
Can Material Handling USA help me pick the right model?
Yes — call (800) 326-4403 or request a quote and we'll size a carousel (or a bank of carousels) to your tire diameters, quantities, ceiling height and floor plan.
