Air Caster Transport
Made as standard for your convenience.
Standard solutions
Air caster transport is a way of movement in which a wafer-thin air film is created (and retained) between the air cushion and the floor through controlled leakage in the membrane. Floating your machine probably isn’t a goal. You want to move your machine as easily, safely and cost-effectively as possible. For this you need at least 3 air cushion elements. By allowing the weight to float, these virtually eliminate friction. You can easily move your machine in a floating state. Compare it with a wheel, this can only be given a function if it is attached to something.
Standard solutions:
- Load module system. A flexible solution in which a system can be composed with four or six modules and with free choice in the caster type.
- Portable rigging kit. The ideal solution for transports up to36.000 kg. Delivered in an easily moved transport box.
- Heavy transport solutions. For weights above 100.000 kg.
- Air beams. Our air caster beams each have two air casters, which makes an ideal tool for moving difficult to approach set-ups like machines or seating stands.
- Air pallet. A plug and play solution for moving machine modules, pallets and other parts up to 10.000 kg.
- Roll mover. An out of the box solution for moving round objects up to 22,000 pounds — like paper rolls, reels, steel rolls or cable rolls.
Air casters can be integrated into transport solutions or a machine or machine part where movement is needed, during maintenance or to make a change in configuration. In some cases they can be used as an OEM part, but usually they’re used as a tool in a production or service environment.
To make air casters more accessible, we offer a number of standard solutions that are cheaper and faster than our custom solutions. With these products you can still, to a certain extent, determine the size yourself, with which you can shape the solution to your movement problem.
With standard solutions you can determine the dimensions for a large part and the type of caster to be used. If you need help understanding whether a standard solution can work for your needs, our application specialists and engineers are ready to create a customized solution for you.
