16x5-9 Solid Tyre FAQs
Which scissor lifts use 16x5-9 tyres?
16x5-9 is the classic compact scissor lift size, on the small electric machines used in malls, airports and finished-floor warehouses. Confirm from the current tyre's sidewall or the machine data plate — if it reads 16x5-9, this page is your reference.
Why do aerial work platforms use solid tyres?
A scissor lift or boom lift cannot afford a flat — the machine often works at height, on a site schedule, and a disabled unit blocks the whole work area. Solid tyres remove punctures entirely and keep the platform's rated load and stability intact, which is why most lift manufacturers fit solids or foam-filled as standard.
Are non-marking tyres available for 16x5-9?
Yes — and indoors they are the default: shopping malls, airports, warehouses with finished floors. Non-marking scissor lift tyres are among our most exported items to rental fleets. Confirm the compound in your quote request and we will match it.
What is the load rating of the 16x5-9 aerial tyre?
The reference figures are in the table above, by speed. On aerial platforms the load rating matters for stability as much as wear — the tyre must carry the platform's rated capacity with margin. If the machine's data plate specifies a tyre load rating, match it exactly; this is not a category for approximations.
Which lift brands does 16x5-9 fit?
This size is used across scissor lift and boom lift lines from brands such as Genie, JLG and Skyjack. Fitment is confirmed by the size on the current tyre's sidewall or the machine data plate — match it and the tyre is correct.
What is the MOQ for 16x5-9 aerial tyres?
Pallet quantities upward, wholesale pricing factory-direct, and mixed aerial sizes consolidate into one container. Rental companies routinely combine this size with forklift sizes in the same load — just list everything in the inquiry.
When should aerial platform tyres be replaced?
On cuts, chunking, or wear reaching the wear indicators — any change to the tyre profile can affect platform stability. Outdoor machines also age their tyres in UV and ozone even with tread left, so units parked outside for years deserve an inspection before the next job at height.
Can you supply 16x5-9 tyres mounted on wheels?
Yes, loose or pressed onto wheels. Rental companies often order mounted wheels to swap units in the field without a press. Ask for both options in one inquiry and we will quote them together.
