Aeris Corporation:
Technology has changed the way Riggers move heavy machinery in today’s modern plants. For many years dollies and continuous chain style rollers have been mainstay
for machinery moving. Now, Air Casters are used extensively for many applications that required expensive capital equipment such as machine tools or injection
mold machines to be closely positioned in order to optimize floor space and production for a given area. Air casters float large loads on a thin film of air and
allow for omni or 4 directional motions. Therefore making 90 degree turns, moving at oblique angles or rotating about center is simple and quick. In many cases
Air Casters will significantly reduce the installation time by up to 85%. In addition Air Casters do not damage or scuff sealed concrete or epoxy coated floors
found in many new facilities. It’s no wonder that Air Casters are becoming the preferred method of moving heavy machinery.
To accommodate the machinery moving demands Air Casters are now are manufactured in diameters ranging from 12 to 60 inches and can transport loads from 200 pounds
up to thousands of tons. Air Casters require only 3- 5 pounds of effort per 1000 pounds of weight on a standard smooth, sealed concrete floor surface. Once floating
the Air Bearings provide omni or 4 directional motions for total flexibility within the manufacturing cycle, optimization of floor space, reduce labor hours to
transport loads, and improved quality and safety while preventing any floor damage.
Aeris Corporation manufactures standard as well as custom designed systems including individual Air Caster load modules, planks, pallets, roll-movers, turntables,
and power driven steel transporters.
