Airskates move heavy loads - no floor damage

Installation Service uses a range of airskates to accommodate loads up to 40 tonnes and with these size of loads the typical floor loading when moving on airskates is less than 30 lb/in2.

Due to the improvement in todays flooring standards, the movement of heavy machinery without causing damage to floors, is becoming increasingly difficult.

Airgonomics, specialists in airfilm equipment, are pleased to announce the launch of their Installation Service, utilising their own range of airskates.
Standard airskates in the range can accommodate loads up to 40 tonnes.
Even with these size of loads the typical floor loading when moving on airskates is less than 30 lb/in2.
We also provide an airskate hire service for anyone wishing to carry out movement of machinery.
Airskates can even be used in clean room environments where cleanliness is paramount.
Airskates operate on a thin film of air, which means when 'floating' no part of the skate is actually touching the floor, so allowing for smooth movement.
With this near friction-free movement, loads on a smooth flat floor only require 1kg of force to move a 1000kg load.
Even out of balance loads cause no problems for airskates as each skate is independently adjustable for loads.
Airskates can simply be connected to a suitable factory air line to carry out moves, or for installations and moves in new buildings, where there is no air supply, a standard road side compressor can be used.
Over many years Airgonomics have been at the forefront of airfilm technology.
If you have any requirements or require any further information regarding airskates, or airfilm equipment then do not hesitate to contact us.
