Non Marking Aerial Work Platform Tires

During building construction, contractors are expected to move heavy materials from one area to the other. This movement is often facilitated with various aerial work platform machines such as man lifts, boom lifts, aerial lift, and scissor lifts. These machines are essential because they make work easier and more efficient. Furthermore, these machines are not only used for transporting material during construction but also in finished buildings. But the issue you will face is when your worksite doesn’t allow black tire marks thus make non marking tires mandatory on any machine used on site. This blog will focus on the aerial work platform and give you 6 reasons why using non marking aerial lift tires are advantageous in certain applications.

What are non marking aerial work platform tires?

Firstly, non marking aerial work platform tires are tires that don't leave black floor marks compared to regular black aerial work platform tires. Consequently, non marking aerial work platform tires are used in worksites where black marks are banned which can occur in both construction sites and in finished buildings. Furthermore, non-marking aerial work platform tires are considered to be hygienic compared to standard black tires because they don’t leave any marks behind, simply a fine dust that can easily be swept up. Non marking aerial work platform tires are offered in basic air filled aerial work platform tires, and solid aerial work platform tires.

Here are the benefits of using non marking aerial work platform tires:

[1] Elimination of black marks

Everybody wants a clean floor free of black tire marks. Standard black aerial work platform tires are made of black carbon, which by nature leave black marks on light colored floors such as in warehouses and production facilities. However, non marking aerial work platform tires are made of a synthetic rubber and silica mixture making them white or grey in colour. These two components still make it easy for you to move your work platform machine around but without leaving any black marks behind. Consequently, you should consider switching to non marking aerial work platform tires if you hate the look of black marks on your concrete floor.

[2] Reduced cleaning costs

If you’ve ever worked on a site or in a building where black marks weren’t allowed but you used your standard black tires and left marks behind, you know how expensive those black marks are to clean off or even got stuck paying a fine or clean up fee. Washing black marks is an expensive affair. Black carbon marks require numerous cleaning detergents and man hours to remove them. This increases floor maintenance costs. Moreover, it can also lead to speedy wear and tear of floor tiles or floor finishes. However, you can avoid taking on this extra cleaning cost by using non marking aerial work platform tires. The silica used to make non marking aerial work platform tires doesn’t stick to the floor. In case of rapid turns, starts, and stops, non marking aerial work platform tires will only leave chalk-like dust that can easily be swept. This means that non marking aerial work platform tires will save money.

[3] Performance

Non marking aerial work platform tires perform all the same functions as regular black aerial lift tires so you’re not giving up any functionality by switching. You’ll still be able to get the full value for your money when using non marking aerial work platform tires.

[4] Interchangeability

Pneumatic or air aerial work platform tires are commonly used on smooth surfaces, indoors, and on loading docks. The core and base of non marking pneumatic aerial work platform tires are similar to that of solid non marking aerial work platform tires which means they’re easily interchangeable. Consequently, they can be helpful in construction sites and finished buildings where loading heavy materials is required.

[5] Good Traction

The aerial work platforms depend on traction to move. Non marking aerial work platform tires have the same traction as standard black tires thus enables you to move across different surfaces with ease. Additionally, non marking aerial work platform tires have low rolling resistance and low heat built-up thus makes them a great choice for any site requiring non marking aerial work platform tires.

[6] Legal compliance

By law, black marks are prohibited in certain industries and applications. For example, the use of marking aerial work platform tires are prohibited in the pharmaceutical, food, as well as beverage industries because of the black carbon residue that it produces and leaves behind. Therefore, using non marking aerial work platform tires is key because they can be used anywhere due to their hygienic nature.
