I need a ingenious way to store/stack many steel wheels
Permalink  
 


Anyone come up with or seen an efficient way to stack steel wheels. (without falling over or rolling away) I would like to build a rolling cart/dolly to hold lets say 64 wheels. 8 stacks of 8.

 

 

 

 I thought of giant ring toss but the weight and strength of the center tubes will not be cost effective. I could stand them on edge(on the beads)

 

I am open to ideas, the easiest to build and most economical would better.

The best way is the way all the wheel manufacturers do it on pallets. Herringbone , interlocked like these tires:

Sorry, I couldn't find a photo for wheels.

home depot or such .. garden shed

close door , forget , walk away

 

nothing works better to keep a stack of junk from falling over like walls .. and the other junk jamed in against it

I worked for Accuride for over 20 years where we manufactured wheels by the millions. The Ford 16" single wheels for F250/F350 trucks were all stacked this way on a double wide pallet - 64 per side, 128 per pallet. Your wheels could be stacked in this fashion utilizing an 8' wide X 2' deep X 6' tall rack or 16 Sqft footprint.

A for effort.

When I made my trip to Ontario this month, I used RoadsideAmerica to look for picture sites.

Your post reminded me of this; http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2715

         I racked a 40 foot trailer for tires    using used 2x4's   works great    I used the end of the trailer and built racks to hold rims"on edge   I have room for 30-40 rims

         64 rims on a moving cart/dolly could be done with a frame on wheels e.g. S10 frame with wooden racks  I'm sure you can do it

Like the giant turtle


well some good things learned tonight.
My problem is I have 40 acres of parts in a 5 gallon garage.
I am trying to build carts/dollies so i can roll anything or everything out the door to make room when needed.
