Load Moving Systems and Solutions to British Industry

About Us

Thank you for your interest in Rotair Systems Ltd.

Rotair Systems is a leading United Kingdom company offering super-efficient and affordable air-powered load moving systems to industry throughout the UK and Ireland. More and more businesses are finding that air powered load moving systems are providing the solutions they need for moving their heavy loads and machinery in today's workplaces.

Introducing air film technology

Rotair Systems, led by principal Maurice Ward, is finding that today's companies are looking for more cost-effective and versatile ways of moving their heavy loads. Loads are getting bigger and heavier, and need to be moved quickly and safely in the most cost-effective manner. Using air film technology to float your heavy loads on a cushion of air offers the best solution. All you need is a level floor surface and a little compressed air.

Using the resources and expertise of people who have been in the air film technology business for many years, we are able to design, manufacture and install a diverse range of air film handling products that are suitable for the ever changing world of manufacturing. Such products include:

  • Ever-versatile air skate kits - which come complete with all the fittings necessary to get you up and running very quickly.

  • Air pallets - which are capable of lifting and moving heavy loads quickly and easily. Available in many sizes and can easily used by guys, gals and even the boss

  • Transporters - the big guys on the block for moving the real heavy stuff - transformers and heavy machinery. Fully customizable to suit the load.

As with all air film products, the heart of the equipment is the air bearing and it is our intention to offer the two most common types of air bearing configurations available. The A-type bearing was developed by General Motors over 30 years ago and remains the standard by which air film technology is measured and the B-type which was originally developed by Boeing and offers higher lift heights which is ideal if you have a 'lift and move' situation where the load needs to be lifted away from its base before floating off to its destination.

As well as providing air flotation handling systems, we also supply and install turntables that either rotate on a film of air or by more traditional and mechanical means such as wheels.

At Rotair Systems, we would be happy to hear about your load moving needs and have the opportunity to advise you on the best possible (no obligation) solutions.

If you have an application that may be suitable for air film, then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Again, thank you for your interest in Rotair Systems.
