Aerofilm Systems: Air caster specialist since 1981

What are air casters?

Air casters (also known as Air Bearings or Air Skates) are devices that use compressed air to create a thin film of air between the caster and the floor, allowing heavy objects to float and move almost without friction. They can lift and transport objects ranging from a few hundred pounds to thousands of tons, with minimal effort and high precision.

Why choose air casters?

This method offers many advantages over other internal transport options like wheels, cranes, or rails. Benefits include:

  • Safety: Reduces injury risk and damage to operators, objects, and floors. Silent and vibration-free for a comfortable working environment.
  • Ergonomics: Enables easy movement and positioning of heavy objects with simple controls and minimal effort, eliminating the need for complex infrastructure.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Lowers maintenance and operational costs, requiring only compressed air. Increases productivity and efficiency by moving objects faster and more accurately than other methods.

What can air casters do for you?

Internal transport challenges can be addressed effectively with our solutions, such as:

  • Moving heavy, delicate, large, or unique items like machines, transformers, vehicles, or modular homes.
  • Optimizing the layout and flexibility of production facilities, warehouses, or workshops.
  • Enhancing the quality and performance of products or processes by minimizing vibrations, shocks, or contamination.
