Air Casters Introduction:
In material handling and transportation works, air casters is simplify processes, increase efficiency, and reduce physical strain.
What are Air Casters?
Air casters, also known as air skates, are a type of load-moving equipment that utilizes compressed air to lift and float heavy loads, eliminating the need for traditional wheels or rollers. These devices consist of a flexible air film, usually made of reinforced rubber or polyurethane, which creates a cushion of air between the load and the ground, enabling easy movement in any direction.
Working Principle:
The working principle of air casters is based on the concept of air flotation. When compressed air is introduced into the air casters, it escapes through tiny holes in the air film, creating a thin layer of air between the load and the ground. This air cushion significantly reduces friction, allowing the load to glide effortlessly over the surface. The amount of air pressure determines the lifting capacity and the ease of movement.
How to Operate Air Casters:
Operating air casters is relatively simple and straightforward. The process typically involves the following steps:
1. Preparation: Ensure the load is properly balanced and secure. Clean the floor surface to remove any debris or obstacles that may hinder movement.
2. Positioning: Place the air casters evenly beneath the load, ensuring equal distribution of weight. Connect the air supply hose to the casters.
3. Inflation: Gradually introduce compressed air into the air casters, monitoring the pressure to achieve the desired lifting capacity. Avoid overinflating, as it may cause instability.
4. Movement: Once the air casters are inflated, the load will start to float. Gently push or pull the load in the desired direction, using manual force or other machinery. Take caution to avoid sudden movements or jerks.
Air Casters Working Conditions:
Finer brand Air casters are designed to operate effectively in various working conditions, including:
1. Load Weight: Air casters are suitable for handling heavy loads ranging from a few hundred kilograms to several tons, depending on the specific model and configuration.
2. Floor Surface: Air casters work optimally on smooth, clean, and level surfaces. However, they can also function on rough or uneven floors, although the load capacity may be slightly reduced.
3. Environmental Factors: Air casters are resistant to most environmental conditions, such as temperature variations, humidity, and dust. However, extreme temperatures or corrosive environments may require additional protective measures.
Advantages of Air Casters:
Air casters offer numerous advantages over traditional material handling methods, including:
1. Weight Distribution: Air casters distribute the load weight evenly, minimizing the risk of damage to the floor or the load itself.
2. Versatility: Air casters allow multidirectional movement, enabling operators to maneuver loads effortlessly in tight spaces or confined areas.
3. Floor Protection: The air cushion created by air casters eliminates the need for wheels or rollers, significantly reducing the risk of floor damage, such as scratches or marks.
4. Ergonomics: Air casters reduce physical strain and eliminate the need for excessive manual labor, promoting a safer and more efficient working environment.
5. Cost-Effectiveness: By reducing the need for additional equipment, such as cranes or forklifts, air casters offer a cost-effective solution for material handling and transportation.
Finer brand Air casters have revolutionized the way heavy loads are moved and transported, providing a versatile, efficient, and cost-effective solution. By utilizing the power of compressed air, these innovative devices significantly reduce physical strain, increase productivity, and enhance workplace safety. With their ability to glide effortlessly in any direction, air casters have become an indispensable tool in various industries, ensuring smooth and seamless material handling operations.

Air skate use air as energy,easy to handle the direction, and no pollution.
Air trailer which Finer lifting tools produced is easily to transport and can be set up to fully functioning less than 10 minutes.
Our air skate capacity from 10 tons to 48 tons, more capacity can be make specially for you.
Air caster load module systems have follow advantage when moving and material handling works:
.have lower friction. Easier to handling equipment.
.Highly maneuverable.Via air supply,it is very easy to control the direction.
The height of the module is very low, it is just 50 mm, it is light-hearted to lift the equipment on it.
.No pollution. Will not come out any pollutant, very environmental protection.
we also have roller skids from 3 tons to 500 tons, spring balancer from 1 kg to 400 kg. Permanent magnet lifter from 300 kg to 5 tons.
