Our Load Rigging Systems & Modules utilize the efficiency of Fluid Film Technology to lift and move loads of any size, shape or weight up to 112,000 LBS with 4 module configurations.

Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 112,000 LBS Capacity are lightweight and easily positioned under a load. Unlike caster wheels, which resist changes in direction, rigging systems are truly omnidirectional, requiring no additional force to change direction. Control consoles provide individual pressure regulation to compensate for unequal load distribution. Because Rigging Modules float on a nearly frictionless film of air loads can often be moved manually, without the need for tow vehicles or winches.Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 112,000 LBS Capacity provides no perceptive shock or vibration when moving fragile or sensitive machines.

Rigging systems are available to move anything that isn’t anchored down. The rigging system module’s thin profile allows ASE System’s products to be easily inserted under most equipment, eliminating the need for a separate jacking system, as well as providing vertical lift when inflated.

Description

Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 112,000 LBS Capacity

Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 112,000 LBS Capacity is engineered for transporting substantial loads with precision and ease. Utilizing air caster technology, this system allows for the movement of heavy equipment on a thin film of air, minimizing friction and eliminating the need for traditional wheels or rollers. This design ensures smooth, omnidirectional movement, making it ideal for environments where space constraints and maneuverability are critical.

Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 112,000 LBS Capacity System Components :

Each Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 112,000 LBS Capacity includes:

  • (4) Air Caster Load Modules: These modules are the core components that lift and move the load using a cushion of air.

  • (4) Interconnect Hoses with Fittings: These hoses connect the load modules to the control console, ensuring synchronized operation.

  • (1) 4-Station Control Console with ON/OFF Ball-Valve: This console allows the operator to control the airflow to each module, facilitating precise maneuvering.

  • (1) 35’ Long Air Supply Hose with Fittings: This hose connects the system to the plant’s compressed air supply.

Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 112,000 LBS Capacity Operational Considerations :

Floor Requirements

Air caster systems require smooth, non-porous surfaces to function effectively. Uneven or porous floors can disrupt the air cushion, leading to reduced performance. For floors that do not meet these criteria, consider using overlay materials such as sheet metal or heavy-duty plastic sheets to create a suitable surface.

Air Supply

Ensure that the plant’s compressed air system can deliver the required 196 SCFM at 60 PSI. It’s advisable to maintain an air supply capacity that is 30% higher than the minimum requirement to accommodate any unforeseen demands or inefficiencies.

Load Distribution

Proper load distribution is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the air caster system. Ensure that the load is evenly distributed across all modules and does not exceed the individual bearing capacities.

Advantages

  • High Capacity: Capable of handling loads up to 112,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy industrial applications.

  • Omnidirectional Movement: Allows for smooth and precise maneuvering in all directions, enhancing operational flexibility.

  • Reduced Floor Wear: The air cushion minimizes direct contact with the floor, reducing wear and maintenance costs.

  • Quick Setup: The system can be set up and operational within 10-15 minutes, minimizing downtime.

Maintenance and Safety

  • Regular Inspections: Periodically check hoses, fittings, and modules for signs of wear or damage.

  • Air Quality: Ensure that the compressed air supply is clean and dry to prevent contamination and corrosion.

  • Training: Operators should be trained in the proper use and safety procedures associated with air caster systems.

Summary

The Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 112,000 LBS Capacity offers a robust solution for moving heavy loads with minimal effort and maximum precision. Its design emphasizes safety, efficiency, and versatility, making it an invaluable asset in various industrial settings.
