The Aero-Caster Principle

 

 

AeroGo equipment uses a variety of Aero-Casters to literally float heavy loads on a virtually frictionless film of air. Aero-Casters provide a clean, quiet and safe alternative to moving heavy loads.

Reduced friction and omni-directional movement allow the operator to precisely place and align the load in a limited work space. The low profile of the Aero-Caster Load Module requires less than 3" (76mm) clearance. Aero-Casters will not damage floors and expensive reinforcement is usually not necessary.

Because we use only basic pneumatic components such as air regulators and hoses, our products are not only reliable, but will operate in most environments.

The Aero-Caster Principle:
Aerogo Step 1
Prior to inflation, the load is solidly supported on landing pads. These pads protect the Aero-Caster's torus bag from being crushed when the load is at rest.
Aerogo Step 2
When standard shop air is applied to the Aero-Caster, the torus bag inflates, creating a seal against the floor surface and raising the load.
Aerogo Step 3
When the pressure within the chamber is sufficient to offset the load's weight, air slowly and evenly escapes between the flexible torus bad and the floor.
The load is literally floated on a thin, nearly frictionless cushion of air, .003 to .005 inches (.08 to .13mm) thick.
