Tyre bases are the forecourt specialist: a flat plate that slides under a parked vehicle’s wheel, so the car itself becomes the ballast. Fixed or rotating spindle options, socket diameter stated in millimetres. Written quotation within 24 hours.
What a Tyre Base Is
A tyre base is a low steel plate with a pole socket, shaped to slide under a vehicle tyre. Position the vehicle, roll the base under the wheel, and the display borrows the heaviest ballast on the site for free. It is the standard base for forecourt and car-lot displays where the flag stands beside the inventory.
What Problems It Solves
1. Forecourt displays. The flag stands beside the pumps and the forecourt’s own vehicles anchor it.
2. Car lots. The display moves with the inventory – every car sold is also a ballast change.
3. Vehicle-adjacent pitches. Where the flag must stand next to traffic without any ground works.
Where It Is Used
Car dealerships. Flags between the rows, anchored by the inventory itself.
Forecourts and service stations. Promotions at the pump line, moved as the vehicles come and go.
Event parking. Displays anchored by attendee and staff vehicles on hard standing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the vehicle really enough ballast?
A parked vehicle weighs more than any plate set – the physics is settled. The honest limits: the vehicle must stay, and the base sits where the wheel actually rolls.
Does it damage the tyre?
No – the plate slides flat under the tread with the height profile stated in the spec. Position it fully under, not at the edge.
Fixed or rotating spindle?
Rotating keeps the flag readable as the wind swings on open forecourts; fixed suits sheltered rows. Both are order options.
Will it fit my pole?
The socket inner diameter matches the pole bottom section – both stated in millimetres, confirmed in writing.
What if the vehicle leaves?
The display loses its ballast with the car. The rule is simple: the flag comes down when the vehicle goes, or the vehicle stays through the promotion.
What is the lead time?
Sampling 3 to 7 days, bulk 7 to 15 days, both dates confirmed in writing.
