AeroGo, Inc. is pleased to announce that the Washington Historical society has accepted to its curated collections the original hovercraft built by W.A. Crowley in 1967. The hovercraft, originally featured in the Seattle Times Pictorial Magazine on November 24, 1968, is a one-of-a-kind machine. Technically called a ‘Terra Skipper,’ the machine can skim along the surface at 30 miles per hour. It is powered by a 10- horsepower engine which provides air flow to air casters which lift it off the ground and hover. The engine also powers a rear fan to create forward thrust and steering.

Safely moving heavy loads in manufacturing and industrial settings is not a trivial task. These operations often move extremely heavy equipment and materials to complete critical projects. The systems used to make these moves can create safety risks that, when things go wrong, can lead to serious injury and even loss of life. There are several types of move systems, including air casters, wheeled and transfer carts, conveyor systems, cranes, and forklifts.This article published in the July issue of Industrial Fire Safety Review reviews the risks and rewards of each system.
