Tire storage : Profitability per square foot is a telling indicator that space managers rely on to measure the viability of their operations. This is precisely what Quebec-based manufacturer Montel focuses on, offering high-density mobile storage solutions for tire storage.
Make your tire storage operations more profitable with mobile storage
Tires tend to resist traditional shelving systems. If shelves are too short, the edges of the tires can become damaged, which can affect product quality and employees' day-to-day operations. It's in this context that a Montel shelving system adapted for tire storage becomes a must. Montel's mobile storage solution SmartSpace (intermediate load capacity) or the mobile power-assisted or motorized system Rack & Roll (industrial load capacity) can be fitted with supports to keep tires upright and out of harm's way, making them easier to store while reducing storage space.
Kevin Duval, Operations Manager at Acura Trois-Rivières, can testify to this, having seen not only the storage space in his dealership double, but above all his selling power. We're always short of space in a dealership, and in that sense, this solution is the most cost-effective," says Duval. We chose to install SmartSpace mobile storage systems to increase our retention of customers who need to have tires stored, and this system has enabled us to accommodate a good number of them.
"The mobile systems mean we don't lose any space. Everything is neatly arranged, the shelves are easy to manoeuvre and there's no wasted time. By doubling storage capacity, a dealer doubles his selling power," he adds.
At the end of Montel's intervention at Acura Trois-Rivières, storage capacity increased from 1,900 to 2,200 tires. As the company points out, customers pay a fee of around 30 $ per tire to store them for 6 months. That's 60 $ annually per tire, which adds to the company's profits for each additional customer.
Boost customer retention and expand your offering
In addition to increasing storage capacity, Montel mobile storage systems generate space to expand a company's product offering. On the floor, the storage solution offers a means of storage designed to facilitate the day-to-day work of technicians, while adapting to a wide range of dimensions. Taking into account all the possibilities they offer in terms of space and storage, Montel claims that its mobile storage solutions can reclaim up to 50 % of floor space, managing growth while increasing revenues. With double the storage capacity or half the storage area for the same storage capacity, the return on investment of such a system is rapid.
