Moving heavy industrial loads

Equipment for moving heavy industrial loads based on the hovercraft principle is a tried and tested method that has been available in the UK for 50 years or more.

Distributed by Rotair Moving Systems, such equipment can move heavy but fragile products over weight limited floors, clean room environments, production areas where crane access is denied (ovens, test chambers, etc) or assembly line manufacture where loads get progressively heavier as they move along the line.

The airfilm units are widely used in the offshore industry where confined space and paths on oil platforms require high manoeuvrability which air skates can provide.

All that is needed is a good quality floor and compressed air in sufficient volume and pressure. Low powered drives and radio remote controls improve the safety and ease of moving the heaviest loads. Rotair have supplied equipment moving 1 to over 200 tonnes over the past year.

Rotair Moving Systems as distributor for what’s claimed to be the world’s largest manufacturer Delu GmbH of Nuremberg is seeing its business grow rapidly each year as new and complementary products are added to its range.
