Rack options for shipping tires

Martins Industries, manufacturer of tire racking, has been designing and producing shipping racks for tires for most of the major tire manufacturers since 1987. There are two shipping racks that are very common on the market; The MTR (Transport tire rack) and MSR (Shipping tire racks). The two versions are very similar, but the shipping rack, which is a little bit smaller, follows the trend in lean manufacturing to reduce containers size to save space, allowing for a smaller amount of tires on the assembly line.

Though the amount of tires per trailer might be a little bit less than hand loaded, the tire handling time will be cut dramatically. With the transport tire rack (MTR) or shipping tire rack (MSR), the loading of 1260 tires in a trailer will take a fork truck driver around 15-20 minutes, versus 2 hours with 3 employees by hand. This represents savings of over 94% on employee wages. At $25 per hour, a fork truck driver will cost $8.33 (20 mins @ $25/hour) while the 3 employees will cost $150 for loading the same tires without racks.

1. Average out savings of 32 500$/year on employee wages on loading costs*
2. Better for health and safety
3. ROI in less than a year*
4. Trailer outfitting for about 9000$
5. Foldable racks eases their return: 81 racks per load
6. Sturdy and long life: 20 years

* Based on a 230 day use of 1 shipment per day
