Air Pallet System

Eases In-Factory Load Moving

AirShuttle is AeroGo’s high end air pallet, utilizing air caster technology that allows one person to lift, move and control up to 5,000 lbs.

AeroGo Air Pallet advantages include:

• Easily move and rotate heavy loads of components or products as they are assembled.
• No floor damage – floating the load on a cushion of air provides a wider load weight distribution as well as eliminating any floor friction damage, thereby protecting expensive floor finishes (epoxy, urethane, etc.).
• Low friction and omni-directional movement facilitate control in tight spaces.
• Quiet operation, no emissions and vibrationless movement for calibrated equipment and sensitive loads.
• Zero part maintenance.
• Customer customizations are also available.

Nearly frictionless, horizontal omni-directional movement provided by and AeroGo air pallet is an easier way to move and position heavy loads (1 to 14 tons) and it effectively replaces or assists forklifts , cranes and conveyors at a fraction of the cost.

air pallets are perfect for moving heavy loads in manufacturing and assembly applications , transporting or moving finished products to shipping, storage and testing areas.

The air pallet system is ideal for lean manufacturing. Moving assembly lines increase productivity. air pallets can easily float production line assemblies or components. Need to reconfigure your production travel? Since air pallets don’t require any permanent in-floor fixtures, travel paths are changed as frequently as needed. Perhaps you need to remove a unit from the production line for repairs or to wait for a part? Simply float it to the side without slowing down production.

How? air pallets utilize four or more air casters (air bearing/air casters) beneath their decks. Once standard compressed shop air is connected to the unit, loads are glided on a 0.005-inch cushion of air, eliminating operator strain and damage to the load or floor while providing multi-directional horizontal maneuverability. The multi-directional movement of the load while floating on a micro layer of air allows the operator to use minimal force, even in tight spaces.
