Overview
Air Bearing Rigging System
The Air Bearing Rigging System, also known as air casters or air skates, provides a safe and cost-effective solution for moving heavy loads. By utilizing compressed air to create a nearly frictionless film, this system allows for smooth, omnidirectional movement of heavy machinery and equipment. It is an environmentally friendly alternative to electric-powered movers, ideal for industrial environments requiring precise handling on flat, level surfaces.
