Move heavy objects with the power of Air Casters!

Heavy objects can be moved easily and safely with a neoprene Air caster by letting the object float on a thin layer of air. An Air Caster is also known as an Air Skate, Air Bearing Caster, Air Bearing or Air Cushion and is an ideal solution for internal transport. Therefore this technology has been so popular for decades to assist internal transport movements. The capacity per Air caster is determined by the surface area in combination with the working pressure. The more Air casters the higher the capacity. Please keep in mind that a minimum of 3 Air casters is always required as a stable base. The neoprene Air casters are the industry standard. With good reason. The compact design makes this caster easy to carry. It can easily be added to a modular system or permanently attached under an installation. The light weight allows one person to change it easily and quickly. The casters are designed in such a way that a higher air pressure can be applied. The result is a capacity per caster up to four times higher than polyurethane Air casters. To get a better idea of the technology, we like to make the comparison with Air hockey or a Hovercraft. When there is a thin layer of air between the object and the floor, the object can be moved with relatively little force. The important thing is that there is enough air to move the object. The quality of the floor and the type of Air caster determines the amount of air required. Are you curious about the possibilities with Air casters for your internal transport?
