Overview
Air Caster™ air bearings move loads ranging from a few hundred pounds to more than 150 tons. That’s more than 300,000 pounds or more than 75 cars. Genuine Air Caster™ air bearings are made with a tough, wear-resistant urethane diaphragm, giving them superior performance compared to other air bearing devices.
The diaphragm is securely attached to a corrosion resistant steel backing. For convenience, all Air Caster™ air bearings have a female pipe thread air inlet for direct connection, and a seal ring for slide out mounting.
Applications for heavy move equipment
Air bearings can be found on the following Air Caster™ products:
- Air bearing load movers
- Air bearing load lifters
