Air Caster Skids
Airfloat Air Skid systems allow for the safe, nearly frictionless movement of large loads or machinery. Air Caster Skids are available in sets of 4 or 6, or as single skids to design your own configuration. Our Air Caster Skids are built from premium materials that are durable, lightweight and built for years of trouble-free operation. Air Caster Skids are designed to compete – on price and performance – with systems and solutions that are far less flexible, including heavy-duty casters and rollers.

On Quality
Our Air Caster Skids only utilize a 100% urethane diaphragm design and are built to not roll under themselves when encountering a bump or a flaw in the floor or when braking quickly. Under safe and clean conditions, these Skids can last for years of use in the field.

Maintenance
Uh oh - the unthinkable has happened. The Air Caster under your Skid has ripped due to some debris on the floor. We’ve designed our Skids to be easy to repair with slide-out trays to replace the Air Caster without removing the load - leading to minimal downtime and a quick turnaround to get back to moving heavy loads.

Spread Load
Spread Load
We care about your facility floors as much as you do. With the size and capacity of our Air Caster Skids, there’s no need to worry about cutting concrete or other flooring conditions. The load is simply spread across the entire Air Caster Skids and floated on a thin film of air throughout your facility.

The Technology of Air
We exist to create material handling solutions for moving and positioning heavy and difficult to position loads with low friction, omnidirectional movement. The Air Caster is a pneumatic device that forms a lubricating film of air between the load and floor surface, similar in principle to a hovercraft or an air hockey table. We provide material handling products and solutions for heavy loads when frictionless, omnidirectional movement is critical.
Frequent Questions
Will air casters work on my floor?
Many people believe a perfect floor, polished to a mirror finish, is required in order to use air caster technology. Most Airfloat equipment is designed to operate on machine-troweled concrete. However, the floor does need to be reasonably flat and level. Call 800-888-0018 today to speak with an application engineer to discuss if your floors are up to par for air caster technology to function efficiently.
What are the air requirements?
Most plant air systems and adequate pressure (usually over 80 psi) for air caster technology. However, make sure the airflow is strong enough for the equipment you’re looking into. The required air consumption for the efficient operation of air casters is 3 SCFM per foot of air bearing perimeter.
In what sizes are Airfloat air skids available?
Airfloat Air Skids range in size from 10 inches to 54 inches, with single-skid capacity from 500 pounds to 60,000 pounds per skid. Custom sizes are also available.
