Complete Air Caster System for Turnkey Heavy Load Moving
A complete working system - air casters, air supply, control console, hose management and accessories - delivered as one package so the system works on arrival.
Product Overview
Buying air casters alone is rarely enough. The air film depends on stable pressure and adequate flow at every module, which means the compressor, control console, manifold and hose management all have to be sized together.
We supply the complete system as a package: casters, air supply, control console, hose reel, couplings and spare parts. The system is tested together before shipment and delivered with a commissioning video.
Load Capacity & Performance
- Sized for 10 T to 1500 T total load
- Continuous or intermittent duty compressor selection
- Stable pressure at every module, no film collapse on uneven loads
- Travel distance matched hose reel capacity
- Single-operator control from one console
- Spare cushions and wear parts supplied with the system
Technical Specifications
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Air caster modules | Form the air film and carry the load (3.2 T - 15 T per unit) |
| Air compressor | Supplies air volume and pressure to maintain the film |
| Control console | Regulates pressure, monitors the system and controls lifting |
| Air hose reel | Keeps supply hoses organised along the travel route |
| Quick couplings and manifold | Distribute air to each caster module evenly |
| Accessories | Parking feet, shims, spare cushions and service tools |
Published model data is a selection reference; confirm pressure, flow, module count and rated capacity in the quotation. System composition is sized to the air caster quantity, travel distance and duty cycle.
Structure & Components
- Air caster modules matched to load and floor
- Compressor sized for simultaneous module demand
- Control console with pressure regulation and monitoring
- Hose reel with swivel and hose protection
- Manifold and quick couplings for even air distribution
- Spare parts kit and commissioning documentation
Floor Requirements
Air casters require a smooth, flat and sealed floor with joints and gaps reviewed for the selected cushion and route. Epoxy-coated concrete, polished concrete and steel plate flooring are recommended. Rough, cracked or unsealed surfaces prevent the air film from forming and must be prepared before installation. We review your floor condition and provide preparation guidance before quotation.
Typical Applications
- Turnkey installation of new air caster systems
- Replacement of aging air film equipment in existing plants
- Projects requiring documented pre-shipment system testing
- Multi-station handling where the system is moved between areas
- Factory relocation projects with repeated load moves
- Maintenance departments setting up an in-house moving capability
Customization Options
Systems can be configured to match your equipment and site conditions. Typical customization items:
- Load capacity from 3.2 T per unit to 1500 T complete platform systems
- Module size and quantity to match equipment footprint and center of gravity
- Air supply configuration (compressor, control console, hose reel) sized to your route
- Control mode: manual, remote wireless or synchronized multi-unit control
- Application-specific materials and surface treatment, subject to engineering review
- Custom platform frame, tooling interface and positioning fixtures
Quality Control & Test Support
Confirm the test conditions and documentation for the selected model and order: load review, operation video, inspection record, manual and packing information. Agree any required acceptance test before production.

Air caster order quantity & lead time
Minimum order: 1 set. For air caster models rated at 60 metric tons or below, normal lead time is 5–10 working days. Custom model lead times are confirmed by project.
Confirm the production start date, included components and delivery schedule in your quotation. Shipping time depends on destination and transport method. These air caster terms do not specify lead times for skate movers, stair climbers or toe jacks.
