Lift Glide Video Library
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.
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. View our flooring specifications and call 800-888-0018 today to speak with an application engineer to discuss your application.
We recommend 80 PSI air pressure, with a flow requirement that varies by Lift Glide size. The heavier the load, the more flow is required. For example, a set of four 12″ Lift Glides will require approximately 44 SCFM.
Note that once the secondary lift bags are inflated they do not require additional air supply to maintain their lift. Please give us a call or refer to our technical references to confirm air requirement for your skid set.
Yes, in fact Lift Glides are designed to be used in with traditional casters. Many of our customers use traditional caster wheels if they need to tow their frames long distances between stations or buildings, but use the Lift Glides when working in the assembly areas to allow for smooth, accurate positioning.
Lift Glides are a low maintenance product due to their simple design. Typically the only maintenance item is the air bearing (or caster) which sits underneath the frame of the Lift Glide. The bearing is a thick urethane diaphragm and can be damaged if it crosses over a sharp object embedded in the floor. If floors are clean and maintained, an air bearing can last many years without being replaced. Should one need to be replaced it can be quickly swapped out without removing the load due to our slide out tray system.
Some Lift Glides are in stock and can ship the same week. Otherwise the lead time is typically 4-8 weeks. Please give us a call at 800-888-0018 to confirm inventory and lead times.
