Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 20,000 LBS Capacity

Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 20,000 LBS Capacity utilize the efficiency of Fluid Film Technology to lift and move loads of any size, shape or weight up to 20,000 LBS with 4 module configurations.

Rigging systems 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. Air casters provide 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.

Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 20,000 LBS Capacity: Advanced Solutions for Heavy Load Handling

ASE Systems’ Load Rigging Systems & Modules harness the power of Fluid Film Technology to facilitate the lifting and movement of loads of varying sizes, shapes, and weights. With configurations accommodating up to 20,000 lbs using four modules, these systems offer unparalleled efficiency and versatility in material handling.

Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 20,000 LBS Capacity’s Key Features and Advantages :

1. Omnidirectional Mobility: Unlike traditional caster wheels that resist directional changes, ASE’s rigging systems provide true omnidirectional movement. This feature allows for effortless maneuvering of heavy loads in any direction without additional force, enhancing operational flexibility.

2. Lightweight and Low-Profile Design: The rigging modules are designed to be lightweight and have a super low profile, measuring as low as 1-7/8 inches in height. This design enables easy positioning under loads and eliminates the need for separate jacking systems, as the modules provide vertical lift when inflated.

3. Fluid Film Technology: Utilizing a nearly frictionless film of air, the rigging modules allow loads to float, significantly reducing the effort required to move them. This technology ensures smooth transportation, minimizing the risk of damage to sensitive equipment and flooring.

4. Individual Pressure Regulation: Each module is equipped with a control console that allows for individual pressure adjustments. This feature compensates for unequal load distributions, ensuring stability and safety during movement.

5. Manual Operation Capability: In many cases, the low-friction design allows for manual movement of loads without the need for tow vehicles or winches, streamlining operations and reducing equipment costs.

6. Floor Protection: The air caster technology ensures that there is no perceptible shock or vibration during movement, making it ideal for transporting fragile or sensitive machinery without causing damage to floors.

Heavy Duty Air Caster Load Module System 20,000 LBS Capacity ‘s Applications Across Industries:

ASE Systems’ Load Rigging Systems & Modules are versatile and can be employed in various industries, including:

• Manufacturing: For moving heavy machinery and equipment within production facilities.

• Aerospace: Handling delicate components and assemblies without causing damage.

• Automotive: Transporting large parts and assemblies efficiently.

• Electronics: Moving sensitive equipment with precision and care.

• Healthcare: Relocating heavy medical equipment safely.

Operational Workflow

1. Preparation: Before inflation, the load rests securely on landing pads, protecting the air caster’s torus bag from damage.

2. Inflation: Applying air inflates the torus bag, creating a seal against the floor and raising the load.

3. Movement: Once the internal pressure offsets the load’s weight, air escapes evenly between the torus bag and the floor, allowing the load to float on a thin cushion of air, typically 0.003 to 0.005 inches thick.
