AirBarge Company supplies a unique modular system of standard load bearing platforms that float on air cushions. These units provide virtually frictionless movement in any direction for loads of any size when powered from a standard shop air supply. Standard AirBarge casters can be installed on a variety of structural components including air pads, air cells, air tables, air pallets and air vans. This modular system also includes pneumatic lifting units called Air Jacks. These provide precise vertical positioning and angular tilt of a load even while being moved. AirBarge air casters employ the most advanced air seals available today. These patented AirBarge seals employ a flexible wear foot mounted on the underside of a completely protected inflatable hanger. Since this inflated seal hanger cannot come in contact with the surface over which the seal is operated, all wear is taken by the wear foot. This inexpensive wear foot can be replaced when necessary without replacing the remainder of the seal assembly. A number of alternate wear foot materials are available on special order to match different operating surfaces. AirBarges have been produced for efficient operation over surfaces ranging from smooth vinyl tile to weathered asphalt. |
