Whether your load is 500 LBS or 500,000 LBS, Air Caster equipment combines simplicity of operation with tremendous versatility to provide smooth, easy, omni-directional movement at a very affordable price.
- Load moving with minimal effort (about 1 LB of force can move 1,000 LBS of load)
- Reduced chance of back injuries
- Low cost per pound of lift capacity
- Smooth, easy movement in any direction
- Clean, static-free operation
- Non-marking operation to protect floor surfaces
- Even distribution of the load to minimize stress on floors
- Cushioning effect, an advantage for moving delicate loads
- Minimal space requirements under and around the load
- Low maintenance, with no moving parts
- Operation with standard industrial plant air
How Air Casters Work
Step 1 | Prior to inflation, the load is solidly supported on landing pads. These pads protect the Air-Caster’s torus bag from being crushed when the load is at rest. |
Step 2 | When air is applied to the Air-Caster, the torus bag inflates, creating a seal against the floor surface and raising the load. |
Step 3 | When the pressure within the chamber is sufficient to offset the load’s weight, air evenly escapes between the flexible torus bag and the floor. The load is literally floated on a thin, nearly frictionless cushion of air, .003 to .005 inches (.08 to .13mm) thick. |
