Air Film Technology

Air Bearing Benefits
AIRSKATE™ equipment benefits and our experience for over 30 years

SUCCESS - Each and every hire/contract move has been successful. `Omni-Directional’.
SAFETY - No injury to personnel, equipment, floors, buildings. All air powered provides good safety for hazardous areas.
DURABILITY - No replacement diaphragms ever supplied purely as a result of frictional wear.
FORCE - Normally require only a push/control force of around 2 kg/tonne of load, on a reasonably level factory steel trowelled floor or similar.
FLOORS - Can cope with level/flatness usually around + 6 mm over 3 m. stretches, i.e. double ACA desirable standard floor surface limits and can be moved on ramps when appropriate measures taken. Long loads can negotiate over most undulations, subject to inspection and control.

They float on air with virtually no friction and need very little effort needed to manuvoure (can be pushed manually) and are clean and quiet anough for TV and sound recording studios.

FLOOR SURFACES: Normal Steel-trowelled factory floors can be readily negotiated and tread plate, grids, voids or rough and deteriorated areas covered with either lino, semi-rigid PVC sheet or galvanised sheet metal, subject to support capacity and underneath structure loading.
