Problem Statement & Challenges Faced

Varied Tire Dimensions: The R&D storage area needed to accommodate tires of different dimensions and specifications within the available space.
Storage Capacity Requirement: A minimum of 5,000 tires had to be stored efficiently.
Multi-Tier Racking Installation: Installing multi-tier racking on the first floor of the RCC mezzanine added complexity to the setup.

The Solution

To address these challenges, the company implemented an advanced multi-tier racking system. Key features of the system included:

A multi-tier racking system with G+2 tiers for enhanced storage capacity.
Installation of a vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC) to efficiently transport materials between the ground level and the G+2 tiers, streamlining tire access and minimizing manual handling.
The upgraded system provided storage for 5,000 tires, maximizing the use of available storage space.

Benefits to the Customer

The designated storage location was successfully utilized, meeting the required capacity.
The rack span and layout were designed to align with the load-bearing capacity of the civil mezzanine.
The system facilitated easy identification, adaptable storage options, and optimal use of vertical space.
Storing the tires in a vertical orientation greatly improved operational efficiency and ease of handling.
