AeroGo air caster equipment uses a variety of Aero-Casters® to literally
float heavy loads on a virtually frictionless film of air. Air casters provide a clean, quiet and safe alternative to moving heavy loads.
Reduced friction and omni-directional movement allow the operator
to precisely place and align the load in a limited work space. The low
profile of the air caster Load Module requires less than 3-inch (76mm)
clearance. Air casters will not damage floors and expensive reinforcement
is usually not necessary.
Because we use only basic pneumatic components such as air regulators
and hoses, our products are not only reliable, but will operate in most
environments.

The Aero-Caster Principle
HOW AEROGO AIR CASTERS WORK:
Step 1 Prior
to inflation, the load is solidly supported on landing pads. These pads
protect the air caster torus bag from being crushed when the load is
at rest.
Step 2 When
standard shop air is applied to the air caster, the torus bag inflates,
creating a seal against the floor surface and raising the load.
Step 3 When the pressure
within the chamber is sufficient to offset the load's weight, air slowly
and evenly escapes between the flexible torus bag and the floor.
The load is literally floated on a thin, nearly frictionless cushion of
air, .003 to .005 inches (.08 to .13mm) thick.
Reduced friction and omni-directional movement allow the operator
to precisely place and align the load in a limited work space. The low
profile of the air caster Load Module requires less than 3-inch (76mm)
clearance. Air casters will not damage floors and expensive reinforcement
is usually not necessary.
