Air Caster Transfer Cart for Repeated Heavy Load Moving
Purpose-built transfer carts that combine a steel frame with air caster modules for repeated moving of heavy equipment along a fixed route.
Product Overview
A transfer cart is the practical answer when the same load travels the same route repeatedly - for example between a machining bay and an assembly bay. The cart carries the equipment on air film modules, so the floor stays intact and the move needs one operator instead of a crane.
Carts can be designed with loading ramps, positioning stops and a dedicated storage position so the equipment is always presented at the same height and location.
Load Capacity & Performance
- 10 T to 1500 T payload capacity
- Repeated duty cycles with floor suitability reviewed
- Single-operator control
- Even load distribution across the cart frame
- Low entry height for equipment loading
- Optional jacking and height adjustment on the cart

Published model data is a selection reference; confirm pressure, flow, module count and rated capacity in the quotation. Cart deck size, caster quantity and travel route are engineered per application.
Structure & Components
- Welded steel cart deck with lifting points
- Air caster modules sized by load and route
- Air supply connection point and hose management
- Optional ramps for equipment loading
- Optional positioning stops and alignment fixtures
- Optional parking and storage position fittings
Floor Requirements
Air casters require a smooth, flat and sealed floor with joints and gaps reviewed for the selected cushion and route. Epoxy-coated concrete, polished concrete and steel plate flooring are recommended. Rough, cracked or unsealed surfaces prevent the air film from forming and must be prepared before installation. We review your floor condition and provide preparation guidance before quotation.
Typical Applications
- Repeated transfer between machining and assembly bays
- Load moving between production cells
- Equipment maintenance bay transfer
- Warehouse to production line movement
- Turbine and generator service operations
- Multi-station assembly lines
Customization Options
Systems can be configured to match your equipment and site conditions. Typical customization items:
- Load capacity from 3.2 T per unit to 1500 T complete platform systems
- Module size and quantity to match equipment footprint and center of gravity
- Air supply configuration (compressor, control console, hose reel) sized to your route
- Control mode: manual, remote wireless or synchronized multi-unit control
- Application-specific materials and surface treatment, subject to engineering review
- Custom platform frame, tooling interface and positioning fixtures
Quality Control & Test Support
Confirm the test conditions and documentation for the selected model and order: load review, operation video, inspection record, manual and packing information. Agree any required acceptance test before production.

Air caster order quantity & lead time
Minimum order: 1 set. For air caster models rated at 60 metric tons or below, normal lead time is 5–10 working days. Custom model lead times are confirmed by project.
Confirm the production start date, included components and delivery schedule in your quotation. Shipping time depends on destination and transport method. These air caster terms do not specify lead times for skate movers, stair climbers or toe jacks.
