A-type Air Skate Kit - the machinery mover Round steel air skate kits are the ideal solution for moving heavy machinery throughout your workplace. Machines that need frequent moving can have these amazing air skates fitted directly to them and left in position. Once the move has been made, simply pull the hoses away and you're done. To move the machine again, attach the hoses, switch on the air, and off you go. It really is that simple. The kit comes with everything you need to move most types of application. Mounting plates are available for permanent load attachment. Mounted on round steel modules with a set of 30cm air bearings, a kit can lift and float loads of up to 2 tonnes with ease. Increase the size of your bearings and you can lift and move weights up to 100 tonnes and more. Remote control is optional - details here | |

B-type Air Skate Kit - with high-lift capability The B-type air skate kit comes complete with high-lift air bearings mounted to low profile aluminium modules, a remote control unit for easy air flow control, all valves, hoses and other necessary fittings. Standard kits are fitted with 30cm(12-inch) bearings each with a lifting capacity of 1 tonne, and a combined capacity to lift loads of around 4 tonnes. Kits are available with lifting capacities of 100 tonnes and beyond. B-type air bearings have the added feature of being able to lift loads vertically away from the floor before floating them to their destination. These work well with loads that have to be lifted clear of their base before moving. These aluminium models have a very low profile and can easily slide under loads with only a 32mm clearance height. Remote control is optional -

VL-type Air Skate Kit - for delicate & lightweight loads The VL-type air skate kit comes complete with a set of four or six VL air bearings secured into stainless steel modules. Also included are air flow control valves and 90° elbow adapters, sufficient air hose, ball valve and push-in connectors as necessary. VL air skate kits are most suited to moving loads weighing less than 3 tonnes, and are especially ideal for "clean room" applications or attaching directly to delicate machinery that is moved repetitively. The VL bearings shown here are designed to attach permanently to machinery or loads that are frequently moved. Each move then only requires the attachment of the air supply hoses. Attachment to the load is via a central bolt, the specifications of which are determined at the time of order. Click here for further details | |
