About this video

This video demonstrates the function of air caster transporters and how they move heavy loads using compressed air. Air casters, air bearings and air cushions are all names for the same key component: a pneumatic device that forms a thin film of air under a load, allowing it to float above the floor surface with minimal friction.

Once the load is floating on the air film, even very heavy equipment can be moved and positioned with ease and precision. The technology requires no fixed floor installations, making it a flexible solution for a wide range of indoor handling tasks.
