Airfloat Air Bearing Skids (or air castors) are a versatile pneumatic/air support device. These allow the safe, near frictionless movement of heavy loads and large equipment. Underneath the strong load support platform is a durable and flexible urethane diaphragm that is inflated using compressed air. This air inflates the diaphragm, passing through the many small holes, which enables the load to float on a thin film of air.
The 900 mm single air skid has a maximum capacity of 14,205 kg. These may be purchased individually or in a set of 4 units giving a huge load capacity of 56,820 kg.
