Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tire transport racks, and more specifically, to a tire transport rack. Background Art

[0002] Among the existing technologies, the tire handling racks currently on the market have a significant problem in practical application, that is, they need to be manually placed one by one on the device. This method is not only inefficient, but operators often face safety risks and physical limitations when handling tires placed at high places. For example, for tires located on high floors of warehouses or on top of vehicles, manual placement becomes extremely difficult or even impossible, which greatly limits the application scope and efficiency of tire handling racks;

[0003] The existing tire handling racks often require operators to exert a lot of effort during the handling process, especially when the tires need to be turned over. This design ignores the physical limitations of the operator, which can easily lead to operator fatigue, especially during long hours of work, affecting work efficiency and safety. In addition, the existing handling racks cannot achieve multi-directional handling and placement of tires, limiting their applicability in different scenarios;

[0004] During the transportation of tire transport racks, the convenience and maneuverability of steering operations are key factors in improving overall work efficiency. However, the steering of existing tire transport racks often requires the operator to perform complex operations, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, this steering method is particularly inconvenient in environments with small spaces or complex conditions. This not only reduces the maneuverability of the equipment, but also limits its flexible use in changing working environments. Utility Model Content
