Air Pallet Demo Video (750k)

A 7ft x 4ft air pallet carrying a load of approximately 250 pounds. This particular air pallet has a maximum capacity of 4000 pounds, but load capacity can be increased to several tons, as necessary.

Notice how very little effort is needed by the operator - even with a load on board.

Easily used by guys and gals alike.

Air Bearing Demo Video (885k)

A set of four heavy steel girders weighing around a ton being moved by four square aluminum modules housing 12-inch bearings. This setup could easily move four tons with no further adjustment necessary.

The demo shows just one man in attendance using very little effort to turn this load in an omni-directional fashion. Operation of these air bearing systems are so simple - anyone can do it.

Easily used by guys and gals alike.

Overhead Gantry Crane Conversion (1.4mb)

Here we see a regular overhead gantry crane that has been converted to a mobile crane simply by adding a set of four air bearings and modules to the feet. The benefits of this type of conversion are tremendous and take a previously permanently fixed crane and convert it into a floating model that can be used just about anywhere in your location. Here you will see how easy it is to plug in your air supply and off you go. It really is that simple.

Again, very little operator effort is required to move a structure that would previously have presented problems.

Heavy Duty Transporters

Clean Room Application (1.7mb)

A demo movie highlighting the superb operational control of a 25 ton transporter designed and engineered for Clean Room operations. It shows just what omni-directional really means. Control is via a joystick panel.

22ft x 6ft giant transformer carrier - up to 280 tonnes capacity (15.5mb)

Another heavy duty transporter demonstrating its ease of use and how easily it can be placed in tight spaces using its wireless control panel. Note how the operator effortlessly control the transporter without having to move from his operating position. Wireless interfacing is via antennae on the joystick control panel and on the front right of the transporter.
