Air caster Transport

Moving heavy objects

Heavy transport solutions

Air casters and Aqua casters are ideal for moving extremely heavy weights. Transformers, ships and parts of ships such as azipods, cable baskets and other weights up to millions of pounds have been moved and positioned with Air casters or Aqua casters for years.

By creating a wafer-thin film (water or air) between your transformer, cable basket or ship and the floor, the whole thing floats. This allows it to be moved almost frictionless in all horizontal directions and allows for highly accurate positioning.

With other techniques it becomes difficult and often very expensive to move extreme weights. Air casters or Aqua casters offer an economical solution and there is no limit to the weight that can be moved. Where wheels exert a high line pressure on the surface, Air casters or Aqua casters divide it over a larger area (the surface of the casters), to make sure that point or line loads no longer occur. In short, the ideal solution within countless industries.

Deploy Air casters

When moving these large objects, a frame, pallet or transporter is almost always used to connect the Air casters. This frame is adapted to the shape and weight distribution of the object to be moved. The air or Aqua casters make that item float, so it can be moved and positioned. In order to get the weight in motion and keep it under control, a drive unit must always be used. This can be built in, but it is also possible to use a forklift truck or another external drive.
