Air Bearing Casters for Heavy Load Movement
Air bearing casters utilize compressed air to float heavy loads on a thin film, enabling omnidirectional movement with minimal friction. They are designed to protect floors and ensure stability during lifting and moving operations.

Product Overview
Heavy-Duty Air Bearing System
Air bearing casters, or air skates, provide a specialized solution for transporting heavy loads where traditional cranes cannot gain access. By utilizing compressed air to create a thin, frictionless film between the load and the floor, these systems ensure smooth, omnidirectional movement. This technology is ideal for clean rooms and delicate environments, as it eliminates floor marks, prevents surface damage, and allows for precise positioning of heavy machinery.
