Portable Rigging Kit Moves Components, Assemblies Up to 17 Tons

Because they move heavy loads on a near-frictionless film of compressed air, air casters distribute weight over a much greater surface area than rollers or wheels. That technology is the basis of a portable rigging kit manufactured by AeroGo Inc. (Seattle).

Stored in a waterproof wheeled case, the kit includes four load modules and accompanying air hoses along with a flat supply hose. The portable system moves machinery, material, and equipment up to 34,000 pounds (17 tons) and 40 feet long.

Most job shop air systems provide sufficient pressure (25 psi or 50 psi) to operate the system. Satisfied customers say “rigging and setup are streamlined” and “the system greatly reduces safety exposure.”
