Crane Bay Shuttle Systems
Crane bay shuttles move large, heavy loads from one crane bay to
another. They are simple to install, just bolt together and level. Contact Airfloat for load support fixtures tailored to your material handling needs. The air bearings allow virtually friction-free movement from one crane bay to another, using air pressure of only 70-100 pounds. Internally-mounted friction drive wheels and air motors provide two-direction movement for accurate positioning of heavy loads.
Line Feed Shuttle Systems
Line feed shuttles are moveable platforms on air bearings that keep a workstation on an assembly line, or a press in a stamping operation, supplied with parts. See how a truck manufacturer keeps a selection of different mufflers positioned for fast installation. No valuable floor space is needed for lift truck movement.
