Roll Handling
Roll Mover
Our Roll Movers move difficult paper and material rolls effortlessly on a cushion of air, giving omnidirectional movement in tight spaces. The Adjustable Roll Mover uses an adjustable chock design to handle different roll sizes, while the Fixed Roll Mover is built around a set size for consistent operations. Both models carry a low floor loading for worker safety and use a slide out air caster design so the casters can be serviced without removing the load.
Move Industrial Loads With Air
Features
Easy
Maintenance
Uh oh - the unthinkable has happened. The Air Caster under your Roll Mover has ripped due to some debris on the floor. We’ve designed our casters to be easy to repair with slide-out trays to replace the Air Caster without removing the Roll/Load- leading to minimal downtime and a quick turnaround to get back to moving heavy loads.
Gentle
Pick Up
Our fixed fork roller transporter gently cradles the roll, picking it up right off the floor. We also offer an adjustable Roll Transporter that can adjust the width of the cradle to pick up different sized loads.
Adjustable
Chocks
Even if your facility needs to move different sized rolls, the Adjustable Roll Mover uses adjustable chocks to fit rolls of different sizes - ensuring no downtime occurs when moving various sizes.

How Does Air Caster Technology Work?
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.

Frequently asked 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 Caster 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.
