Air Skates
Load Module System Speci cations
Air Skate Systems
Airfloat air skate (or “air skid”) systems allow for the safe, nearly frictionless movement of large loads or machinery. Available in a range of sizes and capacities, air skates are durable, lightweight and built for years of trouble-free operation. Airfloat systems are designed to compete – on price and performance – with systems and solutions that are far less flexible, including heavy duty casters and rollers.
Bene ts
• 10 X More Powerful – Move 10,000 lbs. with only 10 lbs. of force. That’s 10 X more powerful than wheels or rollers
• Flexible – Designed to handle a wide range of weights and complex moves
• Simple – Easy operation, no maintenance and highly reliable
• Omnidirectional – Move with ease in any direction and operate in confined spaces
• Outstanding ROI – Highest ROI for heavy load movement
• Configurable – Can be spaced in various configurations and bolted or placed under
existing equipment or machinery for easy movement
Lower Drag Forces and Less Air Consumption
Airfloat utilizes a 100% urethane diaphragm material with superior wear resistance over neoprene or urethane-coated fabrics used by other manufacturers. When pressurized, the diaphragm will stretch uniformly and closely follow the contours of the floor, maintaining a consistent air film. This is evident with lower drag forces and less air consumption. Additionally, Airfloat utilizes an extremely strong mechanically rolled edge seal for diaphragm attachment. Other manufacturers depend upon staples or adhesive bonding methods.
Slide-Out Air Bearing Diaphragms
Airfloat air bearing diaphragms are mounted onto slide-out steel trays. This allows the diaphragms to be removed for inspection or replacement without lifting, inverting or removing the load from the air skate.
What’s Included
Each Airfloat air skate system includes four or six air skates plus a control package with on/off valve and individual flow control valves. Also includes four or six air hose assemblies with quick disconnects.
