Air Planks & Air Plank Systems
Air Plank Systems combine simplicity of operation with extreme versatility. Load movement is easy, exceptionally smooth, omni-directional and can be performed anywhere in the work environment where there is an adequate floor surface. I.E.:
(Sealed, hand or machined trawled concrete or equal).
Air Planks distribute the load weight over a greater surface than with rollers or wheels, spreading any stress evenly on the floor. This eliminates damage to the floor and the need for expensive tracks, reinforced floors and building structures.
Air Casters are more cost effective than traditional load movement methods. Your own personnel can quickly learn to utilize the system. And, since there are no moving parts, maintenance costs stay low.
Air Planks are specifically designed for applications where the load is long and narrow. They also excel in intermittent flow assembly lines and other station to station applications, and in situations where access is limited to only one side of a load. Air Planks can make it easy to transport and position heavy equipment such as heavy machinery, machine tools, medical equipment, mainframe computers and other sensitive electronic equipment.
Air Plank Systems are ideally suited for progressive assembly operations.
Air-Plank Systems are designed to be used with loads having a fixed width. Each Aero-Plank is equipped with two or more Air-Casters and each Air-Plank System may have two or more planks.
Air Plank System(s) Standard Components
Each system consists of two or more air planks each having 2 or 3 air casters mounted to a high-strength aluminum extrusion. Each plank includes a 1-1/2" square box-tube manifold on one mounted flush with the top surface. Inside each box tube manifold are flow control valves to automatically compensate for offset loads. Also included is one 10' interconnect hoses with quick connect fittings, one pressure regulator with gage and one on/off ball valve.

1.Load must be positioned so individual bearing capacities are not exceeded.
2. Recommended supply pressure: 25 psig above rated operating pressure at maximum load. Required floor surface: smooth trawled and sealed concrete or equivalent.
3. Recommended for air supply hose lengths up to fifty (50) feet, consult sales engineer for longer lengths.
