For automotive businesses, space is premium and time is money. Yet many shops still rely on outdated tire storage racks and manual workflows that cost more than they save.
If you’re looking for smarter, safer tire storage solutions, it’s time to consider a tire carousel.
At Vidir, we build the most efficient tire storage carousel on the market. Our system can store up to 352 tires in a single unit while protecting your people, product, and profits.
Our tire storage solutions are built for businesses that need to store 65 tires or more – a single carousel can hold up to 352 tires, which makes it suitable for many auto shops, tire retailers, fleet maintenance facilities, and regional distributors. Whether you’re managing seasonal storage for customers, stocking a range of tire SKUs, or supporting high-volume service bays, a Vidir tire carousel adapts to your real-world needs.
Here are five ways our automated tire racking solution beat tire storage racks, helping you reclaim space, speed up work, and set your shop apart.
1. Reclaim Floor Space by Going Vertical
Whether you’re at a dealership managing seasonal tire storage for hundreds of customers or a fleet facility keeping SKUs on hand for various vehicle types, automated vertical storage helps reclaim real estate without compromise.
Traditional tire racking eats up valuable square footage. A Vidir tire carousel flips the script by turning overhead space into high-density storage. In just 107 square feet, you can store up to 352 tires – three times more tire capacity per square foot compared to traditional tire storage racks. Instead of eating into your service bay or showroom space, the tire carousel builds up, not out. Each system is available in multiple heights and widths to match your ceiling height and inventory needs, ensuring you get the most out of every vertical inch.
This vertical design takes full advantage of overhead space, recovering up to 70% of the floor space required by traditional storage systems.

2. Reduce Tire Handling Time
This is especially valuable for high-volume retailers, fleet service teams, and regional distributors who can’t afford downtime. Tire access becomes streamlined, consistent, and much safer. Even during peak operations.
Every minute your team spends searching, climbing, or hauling tires is time not spent on service. The Vidir tire storage carousel changes that by bringing the right tire directly to the operator at a comfortable, ergonomic height. With one-button access, there’s no more lifting, reaching, or navigating ladders. Optional loading ramps eliminate the need to lift tires entirely, and secondary controls allow for access from either side of the machine. That means faster turns, fewer errors, and smoother operations across the board.
The Vidir tire carousel delivers tires to the operator at an ergonomic height, reducing strain and wasted motion.
3. Improve Worker Safety
Tire storage racks and manual tire handling are more than inefficient; they’re risky. Reaching overhead, lifting from low racks, or maneuvering heavy tires in tight spaces can quickly lead to injuries. The Vidir tire carousel is designed to minimize those risks. Tires are presented at waist height, eliminating awkward lifts and reducing strain. Optional accessories like a tire loading ramp assist the operator during loading and unloading, and remove the need to manually lift tires entirely. Where tire weight is an issue, Vidir also offers a motorized tire lifter – a smart alternative to the ramp that enables safe, effortless vertical transfers. Optional safety features like security gates and keypad access add another layer of protection, keeping unauthorized users out and your team working safely and efficiently.
