Elevate Your Safety Standards: Uncompromising Tire Solutions for Aerial Platforms

When your work is 10, 20, or even 40 meters off the ground, the machine’s foundation is everything. For operators of scissor lifts, articulated boom lifts, and telescopic boom lifts, the tires are not just components; they are the critical base that ensures stability and safety. A failure at ground level has catastrophic consequences at height. Geelanter delivers the unwavering reliability your fleet demands, engineering a foundation you can trust.

The Ground-Level Dilemma: When Tire Choice Dictates Safety at Height

The stability of your entire platform rests on four small contact patches with the ground. Relying on air-filled tires introduces unacceptable risks that compromise safety, interrupt critical tasks, and erode operator confidence.

THE HAZARD: Catastrophic Tipping from Tire Deflation

This is the single greatest fear in AWP operation. A sudden loss of air pressure from a puncture causes one corner of the machine to drop, instantly shifting the center of gravity. This imbalance can easily lead to a catastrophic tip-over, endangering the operator and surrounding personnel. It is a risk that is simply not worth taking.

THE HAZARD: Operator Stranding and Complex Rescues

A flat tire on an AWP is not a simple maintenance issue; it’s a potential safety incident. If a machine becomes disabled with the platform extended, the operator can be stranded at height, turning a simple repair job into a complex and hazardous rescue operation. This creates significant project delays and introduces new levels of risk.

THE HAZARD: Reduced Stability and Operator Fatigue

Even without a failure, the performance of the tire matters. On uneven job site surfaces, standard tires can lead to excessive bouncing and swaying. This constant instability not only creates a less secure feeling for the operator but also contributes to fatigue, reducing focus and overall site safety.

The Geelanter Assurance: A Foundation of Absolute Reliability

We eliminate the hazards of tire deflation entirely. Geelanter offers two robust, flat-proof technologies, each engineered to provide a solid, dependable base for your aerial work platforms, allowing your team to work with total confidence.

SOLUTION 1: Geelanter Solid Tires – The Pillar of Stability

• Rock-Solid Platform: Our solid tires provide zero deflection, creating the most stable and rigid foundation possible. This minimizes sway and bounce, giving the operator a secure, planted feel, which is essential for precise work at maximum elevation. Non-marking options are available to protect finished flooring.
• The Verdict: The premier choice for operations on hard, flat surfaces like concrete slabs in warehouses, data centers, and indoor construction, where absolute stability is the highest priority.

SOLUTION 2: Geelanter Foam-Filled Tires – The Cushioned Guardian

• Puncture-Proof with Pneumatic-Like Comfort: Foam filling provides 100% protection against flats while absorbing vibrations and impacts from rough terrain. This enhances operator comfort, reduces fatigue on long shifts, and helps protect the machine’s sensitive electronic and hydraulic components from excessive shock.
• The Verdict: Ideal for general construction sites, outdoor maintenance, and any application where the AWP must traverse semi-rough or uneven ground to get into position.

Your Platform is Only as Safe as Its Foundation

Don’t compromise on the most critical safety component of your aerial fleet. Consult with our AWP tire specialists to engineer the perfect stability solution for your scissor lifts, boom lifts, and other platforms.
