AERO-PLANK™ SYSTEMS Load moving systems Aero-Planks™ utilize the effi ciency of fl uid fi lm technology to actually fl oat heavy loads on a nearfrictionless fi lm of air. With Aero-Planks™, one person can easily move thousands of pounds. Two or more planks are placed under loads for fast, cost-effi cient movement and positioning in a variety of applications. Aero-Plank™ systems Aero-Planks™ combine simplicity of operation with extreme versatility. Load movement is easy, exceptionally smooth, omnidirectional and can be performed anywhere in the work environment where there is an adequate fl oor surface. Operation in tight spaces is a breeze. Aero-Plank™ air cushions (Aero-Casters®) distribute the load weight over a greater surface than rollers or wheels, spreading any stress evenly on the fl oor. This eliminates damage to the fl oor and the need for expensive tracks, reinforced fl oors and building structures. Versatility and effi ciency AeroGo systems 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 are minimal. Cost-effective Aero-Plank™ systems are safe for your operators to use. The system can be used around volatile liquids and gases safely, and your shop personnel will be working in a clean environment without the side-effects of internal combustion engine emissions. Aero-Planks™ are designed to safely move heavy loads. Safety is built in Aero-Planks™ are designed specifi cally for applications where the load is long and narrow. They also excel in intermittent fl ow assembly lines and other stationto- station applications, and in situations where access is limited to only one side of a load. Aero-Planks™ can make it easy to transport and position shipping containers, shelter modules, heavy machinery, machine tools, medical equipment, mainframe computers and other sensitive electronic equipment. By adding additional Aero-Planks™, load size and weight can be virtually limitless. Unlimited Applications UK

An innovative and cost-effective solution for moving heavy loads AeroGo equipment uses a variety of Aero-Casters® or air cushions to literally fl oat heavy loads on a virtually frictionless fi lm of air. Aero-Casters® air cushions offer a clean, noiseless and safe alternative for the movement of heavy loads. Reduced friction and omnidirectional movement allow the operator to precisely place and align the load in a limited work space. The low profi le of standard air cushion systems requires less than 70 mm clearance. Aero-Casters® will not damage fl oors and expensive reinforcement is usually...
