Why use a Conveyor for Tire Handling

For any warehouse storing tires on a mezzanine, or wishing to do so, a tire conveyor is definitely a great investment.  Made for this purpose, it can greatly facilitate the handling of tires from floor to floor and save a lot of time, hassle and reduce risks of injuries with the simple use of a tire conveyor.  Easy to use, a tire conveyor will haul the tires from the lower floor to the higher one with minimal effort, and at a great pace.  The TC-15 tire conveyor at Martins Industries are standard 15’ long and can handle about 12 tires/minute (that’s 1 tire/5 seconds.) and can service a mezzanine 12’ high, leaving a 1’ hangover to drop the tires on the level.

Made on the same principle as conveyors for mining, or transporting other heavy equipment, a tire conveyor should have a commercial grade rubber belt made up of 2 plies, and should rest on rollers to provide it with support while moving the goods.  The rollers will have ball bearings, and although those require little maintenance, they should be checked one once in a while to ensure the good life of the conveyor.  The motor of the conveyor should provide enough strength to carry more than the maximum load it can move at once to keep a good pace.  The steel frame is covered with powder coat paint for resistance against impacts and friction from the tires and equipments in the tire warehouse.
