The production of large aero-engines and wings.Hovair® transporters provide innovative and cost effective solutions for manufacturing environments. They are versatile enough to be used as basic materials handling equipment – moving loads from A to B or in production flow lines where build stages are required. Movetech UK air film transporters are the ultimate solution for moving heavy loads. Since its acquisition of Hovair® Systems, Movetech UK has continued in-house design and manufacture of standard and bespoke air film movement solutions. For more information or to schedule a service, get in touch and our sales and technical teams will be more than happy to help. So, we offer a servicing and maintenance service to check your everything is working just the way it should. We understand reliability is key and critical to your businesses performance. Multiples of air skates can move thousands of tonnes. Sizes and load capacityĪvailable in a variety of sizes and capacities, a set of four air skates can carry anything from 2 to 60 tonnes working at a floor pressure of 1kg/cm2, and up to 240 tonnes working at higher floor pressures. This virtually eliminates friction, enabling the load to be moved with relatively little effort a force of less than 5 kg can accelerate a 1000 kg load on air skates.

Unlike wheels, friction-free omni-directional movement can be achieved, meaning that a load can be moved in any direction without the need for complex turning manoeuvres. This virtually eliminates friction, enabling the load to be moved with relatively little effort a force of less than 5 kg can accelerate a 1000 kg load on air skates.Īvailable in a variety of sizes and capacities, a set of four air skates can carry anything from 2 to 60 tonnes working at a floor pressure of 1kg/cm2, and up to 240 tonnes working at higher floor pressures.
With the air turned on, the flow to each air skate is regulated to accommodate the load and floor conditions, allowing the load to be lifted clear of the floor.Ī thin film of air can then escape from the periphery of a moulded diaphragm, creating a very small gap between it and the floor. The air skates are connected with a hose manifold and supplied with compressed air.
