AeroGo Air Caster Units, Air Pallets, and Heavy Rigging Equipment Yield Lean/Flow/Flexible Manufacturing Success
by Maximizing Your Production Line Productivity
Lift and move heavy parts and equipment on a film of air, ideal for most any flexible heavy rigging operation. Floating your heavy equipment assembly line on a cushion of air improves productivity and output. Unlike rail or an assembly line conveyor system, AeroGo air caster air bearing products easily move in any direction. Omnidirectional transfer offers the potential to easily change work flow without costly equipment modifications - no need to conform to straight line assembly or fixed paths.

Heavy Equipment Assembly One to four ton components are assembled separately on AeroGo air pallets and air planks. Later in the heavy equipment assembly process, these parts are connected and moved to the next phase of production.
Lean Manufacturing AeroGo air bearing air pallets are well suited in lean manufacturing applications. The low moving effort of an AeroGo air pallet creates an ergonomic solution allowing two workers to easily push these 4-Ton machines through the plant, from base frame assembly to finished product staging. The flexibility of air pallets allows the heavy equipment assembly people to move and cue multiple assembly cells quickly. When you're waiting on parts or change orders, air caster units can be moved past each other for increased through put and minimized delays.
Flexible Assembly on An AeroGo Air Caster AeroGo air caster air bearing products offered this client the flexibility to change their assembly flow without the high costs associated with drag lines. No fixed paths allow for new product introduction into the assembly line without lengthy delays and high costs. To keep the line moving, products can be easily moved to the side if a part or quality assurance issue arises.
Reduce Customer Lead Times air caster technology offers this client the flexibility they need to reduce customer lead times and eliminate their need for overhead cranes. Overall they have seen significant improvement of their product cycle times.
Added Power for Heavy Equipment Assembly AeroGo heavy duty air transporters and Air Drives provide the power necessary to move heavier assembly loads.
Complete Transfer from start to Testing Easily shuttle your products from station to station, into paint areas and/or testing cells. Change your assembly line as your product line changes without costly downtime.
