Solid tires are the more reliable and cost-effective wheel solution for scissor lifts and aerial work platforms (AWPs). Unlike pneumatic tires, they eliminate flat tires, blowouts, and frequent maintenance, making them ideal for indoor/outdoor construction, warehouse, and facility management applications.
Key Advantages of Scissor Lift Solid Tires
- Puncture-Proof: No downtime from flats or blowouts, even on rough job sites with debris, nails, or sharp objects.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to support heavy loads (up to 5,000kg per tire) for 6–18m scissor lifts.
- Non-Marking Option: Gray/white non-marking formulas protect epoxy, marble, and polished concrete floors—critical for indoor use.
- Low Maintenance: No air pressure checks, inflation, or balancing required; just inspect tread wear periodically.
- Cost Savings: Longer service life (3–5 years) and zero maintenance costs reduce total ownership cost by 30–40% vs. pneumatic tires.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for indoor smooth floors (non-marking PU/solid rubber) and outdoor rough terrain (heavy-duty solid rubber).

How to Choose the Right Solid Tire for Your Scissor Lift
- Match Load Capacity: Select a tire with a load rating ≥1.2× the scissor lift’s rated capacity to ensure safety.
- Indoor vs. Outdoor: Choose non-marking PU foam filled or solid rubber for indoor floors; heavy-duty solid rubber with block tread for outdoor rough terrain.
- Verify Size & Compatibility: Cross-check tire size, rim diameter, and bolt pattern with your lift’s OEM specifications (Genie, JLG, Skyjack, Haulotte, Dingli, XCMG).
- Certifications: Ensure tires meet CE, ISO9001, and ANSI B56.6 standards for global compliance.
