Utility Platform
Airfloat Utility Platforms allow operators to efficiently move heavy loads or pallets up to tens of thousands of pounds with little force needed. Using Air Caster technology, the Utility Platform provides near friction-free, omnidirectional movement - making them the superior alternative to wheeled carts and forklifts. The platforms also feature a retractable guide wheel to aid in the maneuvering of heavy loads.

Move Industrial Loads With Air
Features
Control
Handle
Instead of pushing loads by hand on Air Casters, the Utility Platform was created to make controlling loads a bit easier for the operator. Load the pallet or heavy load onto the Utility Platform, activate the air on the handle, and push the load to wherever the station may be.
Easy
Maintenance
Uh oh - the unthinkable has happened. The Air Caster under your Utility Platform has ripped due to some debris on the floor. We’ve designed our Platforms 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.
Combination
& Compatibility
We’re here to make your job easier - not harder. It’s easy for our Utility Platforms to be conjoined with Hydraulic Lift Tables from our sister brand, Align Production Systems. Once the load is on the Lift, move it to your work station, and unload it at a comfortable and ergonomic height.

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.
Looking for a complete solution for heavy industrial moves? See how air caster skids are used in rigging applications.
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 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.
