The more pressure, the less work!

Heavy internal transport with air cushions seems unbelievable. However, the daily experience of Aerofilm and the experience of a large number of clients prove otherwise.

How does it work?
The object that has to be moved will be provided with temporary or permanent air cushions. These cushions will be inflated with compressed air and the excess air will escape between the cushion and the floor. An air film will be formed that way: a very thin air layer. Due to the air film there’s marginal contact between the cushion and the floor. The object floats and, because the friction is only 0,001 percent of the object’s weight, it can easily be moved.

That means you can move 1.000 kilogram with your little finger. Of course bigger objects can be relocated by using more or bigger air cushions. Besides: you can position them to the millimetre.
