A system and method for automatically loading tires into a tire transport frame is disclosed. The system stacks a plurality of tires in a herringbone pattern within a tire transport frame. The tire transport frame provides a structure that maintains the stacked tires in a stable, compressed state. Further, the tire transport frame may be adapted to withstand external loads so that multiple tire transport frames may be stacked atop one another for long term storage of tires. Further, the loaded tire transport frames may be easily loaded by forklift into a vessel for storage and/or transportation without requiring significant expenditures of manual labor, time, space, or cost. The system of the instant invention comprises a conveyor to maintain a flow of tires; a tire transport frame for receiving and retaining a plurality of tires stacked in a herringbone pattern; and a plurality of pick-and-place loaders (110) for seizing a plurality of tires from the conveyor, rotating the plurality of tires into alignment with one another as well as in complementary herringbone pattern alignment with the tires in the tire transport frame, placing the plurality of tires together, and placing the plurality of tires into the tire transport frame to propagate the herringbone pattern of the stack (132) of tires.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de charger automatiquement des pneus dans un cadre de transport de pneus. Le système empile en chevrons plusieurs pneus dans un cadre de transport de pneus. Ce dernier fournit une structure qui maintient la pile de pneus dans un état stable et comprimé. Ledit cadre peut, par ailleurs, être conçu pour supporter des charges extérieures de façon que de multiples cadres de transport de pneus puissent être empilés les uns sur les autres, permettant un stockage des pneus à long terme. Les cadres chargés peuvent facilement être transportés par chariot élévateur à fourches dans un bâtiment de stockage et/ou de transport sans entraîner de dépenses importantes liées au travail manuel, au temps, à l'espace ou au coût. Le système comprend un convoyeur pour maintenir un débit de pneus, un cadre de transport de pneus qui reçoit et retient les pneus empilés selon un motif en chevrons, et plusieurs chargeurs de transfert (110) qui saisissent les pneus du convoyeur, les tournent pour qu'ils soient alignés les uns aux autres, et en alignement complémentaire en chevrons, et les placent dans le cadre de transport pour poursuivre le motif en chevrons de la pile (132) de pneus.
