High-lift Air casters
Do you need more lift when moving? You are best helped with a High-Lift Air casters. Because of their specific properties, Air casters have a number of advantages, making them extremely suitable for moving large weights. By allowing the machines, motors, rollers or stands to float almost without friction, they can be easily moved and positioned accurately. The Air casters are inflated with compressed air, lift the mass and then create an air film – with which the mass can be displaced with 1 / 1,000 of the weight.
Aerofilm high-lift Air caster advantages:
- Higher lift. More height range than standard Air casters.
- Easy to use. As convenient as other neoprene Air casters.
- Cost efficient. No actuator needed to reach higher lifts.
Neoprene casters have higher capacity and can lift items higher than polyurethane casters. There are several ways to achieve extra lift.
If the Air casters are part of a transporter, an extra lift can be realized by using a lifting bag. This lifting Air caster is inflated and used as an actuator to create an extra lift in the system. The advantage of this solution is that both the Air casters and the lifting bags can operate separately from each other, so the lift can also be maintained when the Air caster is switched off.
If an additional lift is required (ie: more than a standard neoprene caster can handle) but there is no space available to build in a separate actuator, high-lift Air casters are an excellent option. This is more advantageous because only one caster is needed, and no additional actuator needs to be purchased to create the extra lift. The further operation of the Air caster is equal to that of the neoprene caster. A high-lift caster can also be combined with standard solutions such as a modular system, air planks or air pallets.
