If you’ve ever operated an aerial lift, you’re probably aware of the damage they can cause to the surface where they’re parked. Whether by tire scuffs or dripping hydraulic fluid and oil, this damage may not seem like a big deal – but it can quickly create unsightly stains and marks on your floors. Keep your floors clean with lift diapers and lift tire covers on your machinery. Not only will you avoid those unsightly marks and stains, but you can also be sure no one will get hurt by slipping on accumulated fluid on your workspace floors.
All About Lift Diapers
Lift diapers are heavy-duty sheets that absorb any and all drips from underneath your aerial lift. Fortunately, you and your team can follow the same installation process for any type of drip diapers. Yes, the following process works for both aerial lifts and scissor lift diapers. So, how do drip diapers attach to your lifts? Diapers attach beneath your lift using bungee cords that reach up along the sides. Install by laying out the diaper on open ground with the pad side facing up. Then slowly drive your lift over the diaper and park it so that the diaper is centered beneath it and between the tires. Finally, attach the diaper's bungee cords to all four sides of the lift. One safety note: make sure the bungees aren’t attached to any moving parts on the machine.
Whether you’ve got a newly installed surface, operate your machine in a food processing plant or want to ensure you avoid slip hazards, lift diapers are the perfect, no-fuss solution. At Aerial Equipment Parts, our aerial and scissor lift drip diapers require NO cutting. Everything is included.

All About Tire Covers & Tire Socks
Tire covers and tire socks offer additional protection from aerial lift damage. With tire covers, you can install them on the rubber tires of your lifts. Tire covers work well because they are easy to put in place, allowing you to operate your lift simultaneously. Yes, tire covers continue to protect your floor while you use the lift, so you can rest assured your floors will remain scuff-free. To do, simply stretch half of the cover over the top of each tire, then drive your machine so the tires turn halfway and stretch the remaining half of the cover over the rest of the tire.
By installing tire covers on the tires of your aerial lifts, you’ll save yourself time and money by preventing any damage from your tires marking surfaces. Even no-scuff tires don’t eliminate all marks, so it’s important to use these covers for full protection.
Similarly, tire socks work in much of the same way as tire covers. For example, tire socks also help protect finished floors from potential scuff marks due to the rubber tires on aerial lifts. Typically, tire socks are made from heavy-duty fabrics (like tire covers) and can also be customized to fit any tire size.
Aerial Equipment Parts offers multiple types of tire covers and socks. For smaller machines, we offer high-grade ballistic nylon tire covers. For larger machines, we offer HD ballistic-strength nylon poly blend. Finally, consistent with industry standards and expectations, our tire covers are made according to the specific tire on your machine to ensure they fit properly.
