Airfloat is the inventor of the innovative air bearing (or air Skids). The air bearing is a unique air support device which is able to support and transport large and heavy loads on a cushion of air. Air castor equipment has been used to move difficult and complex loads of up to 450 tonnes. The Airfloat range includes air bearing skids, air utility platforms and pneumatic/air pallet trucks.
The air bearing utilizes a flexible urethane diaphragm located underneath the load support platform. When this is inflated with compressed air a seal with the floor is formed and this enables the load platform to be lifted off the floors surface. This air film then allows for almost frictionless movement when floating on air casters. Amazingly it takes only 450 grams of force to move a 450 kg load.
