Air Caster Applications for Heavy Load Moving

How air caster systems are used in aerospace, power generation, semiconductor, shipbuilding and heavy manufacturing operations

Air Casters for Aerospace Assembly

Aircraft sections are large, light for their size and easily damaged. Air film moving keeps the section supported evenly across the whole footprint and allows fine alignment during assembly without crane lifts.

Recommended Product: Air Caster Platform
System sizing: Confirm total weight and the load at each support point for the selected configuration.
Floor requirement: Smooth, sealed and structurally suitable route; review joints, cracks, transitions and gradients.
Typical Equipment: Fuselage sections, wing assemblies, engine components, tooling fixtures
Customization: Custom platform frames, tooling interfaces and synchronized multi-unit control for long sections

Air Casters for Transformer Relocation

Transformer relocation is usually constrained by limited space and strict positioning tolerance. Air film platforms move the load in any direction on a prepared floor and allow positioning in millimetres with floor suitability reviewed.

Recommended Product: Air Caster Platform
System sizing: Confirm total weight and the load at each support point for the selected configuration.
Floor requirement: Smooth, sealed and structurally suitable route; review joints, cracks, transitions and gradients.
Typical Equipment: Power transformers, reactors, generators, switchgear modules
Customization: Heavy-load platform with multi-point support and slow inching control for final positioning

Air Casters for Semiconductor Equipment Moving

Sensitive process tools require a handling method reviewed against site requirements. Consider support geometry, floor condition, air quality, vibration and ESD controls before selecting an air caster system.

Recommended Product: TYPE GF Air Casters
System sizing: Confirm total weight and the load at each support point for the selected configuration.
Floor requirement: Smooth, sealed and structurally suitable route; review joints, cracks, transitions and gradients.
Typical Equipment: Wafer handling equipment, lithography tooling, inspection systems
Site review: Confirm particle limits, ESD requirements, permitted materials and air quality; suitability is not assumed.

Air Casters for Shipbuilding

Hull blocks and modules are moved repeatedly inside fabrication halls. Air film platforms handle these heavy, awkward loads without the cost and downtime of rail systems or crane availability constraints.

Recommended Product: Air Caster Platform
System sizing: Confirm total weight and the load at each support point for the selected configuration.
Floor requirement: Smooth, sealed and structurally suitable route; review joints, cracks, transitions and gradients.
Typical Equipment: Hull blocks, superstructure sections, engine room modules, piping assemblies
Customization: Review support frames, route preparation, drive and control. Outdoor operation requires a separate engineering assessment.

Air Casters for Heavy Machinery Installation

Machine installation often needs the equipment moved into position, leveled and shimmed without damage to floor or machine. Air caster sets let a small team reposition the machine accurately during installation.

Recommended Product: TYPE B Air Casters
System sizing: Confirm total weight and the load at each support point for the selected configuration.
Floor requirement: Smooth, sealed and structurally suitable route; review joints, cracks, transitions and gradients.
Typical Equipment: Machine tools, presses, forging equipment, injection moulding machines
Customization: Module quantity and size matched to machine base and center of gravity, with optional leveling and shimming support

Air Casters for Power Generation Equipment

Power plant equipment is heavy and often handled in restricted plant layouts. Air film transfer carts allow repeated movement between installation, service and storage areas using the same equipment.

Recommended Product: Air Caster Transfer Cart
System sizing: Confirm total weight and the load at each support point for the selected configuration.
Floor requirement: Smooth, sealed and structurally suitable route; review joints, cracks, transitions and gradients.
Typical Equipment: Turbines, generators, stators, condensers, auxiliary skids
Customization: Transfer cart or platform with multi-point support and optional load monitoring for heavy asymmetric loads

Air Casters for Factory Relocation

Factory relocation projects move many machines over the same route in a short period. A complete air caster system turns this into a repeatable internal process instead of a series of crane bookings.

Recommended Product: Complete Air Caster System
System sizing: Confirm total weight and the load at each support point for the selected configuration.
Floor requirement: Smooth, sealed and structurally suitable route; review joints, cracks, transitions and gradients.
Typical Equipment: Production lines, machine tools, tanks, modular plant equipment
Customization: Complete system package with compressor, console and hose management sized to the relocation route

Air Casters for Precision Equipment Positioning

Air film movement allows small positioning adjustments on a suitable floor. Confirm the required tolerance, measurement method and control arrangement; the final result depends on the complete handling system.

Recommended Product: TYPE GF Air Casters
System sizing: Confirm total weight and the load at each support point for the selected configuration.
Floor requirement: Smooth, sealed and structurally suitable route; review joints, cracks, transitions and gradients.
Typical Equipment: Optical equipment, measuring systems, test benches, wafer stages
Customization: High-precision module sets with inching control and optional alignment fixtures
