About AeroGo AeroGo, Inc. is a proven world leader in the engineering, design, manufacturing and support of material transport systems. AeroGo products comply with ISO 9001:2008 quality standards and are CE compliant. AeroGo Aero-Casters meet ASME B30.1 requirements. AeroGo offers a full complement of support services throughout the world.

Heavy industries around the globe depend on AeroGo Air Cushion Vehicles AeroGo Air Cushion Vehicles (AV) are proven to be an extremely cost effective and safe alternative to cranes, conveyors, wheeled vehicles, rollers, rails and drag chains. AeroGo AVs are equipped with industry leading Aero-Caster technology and specialized drive systems enabling multi-ton loads to be moved easily, precisely and safely by one operator. Air Cushion Vehicles are perfectly suited to move oversized, awkward, unbalanced or heavy components such as tanks, storage casks, nacelles, pumps, motors and turbines....

Manufacturing Assembly Air Cushion Vehicles transport power distribution transformers throughout the manufacturing process. Our AV units are commonly used for moving transformers in and out of test cells, in and out of high temperature vapor phase ovens, and moving transformer components. The omni-directional movement inherent to Air Cushion Vehicles eliminates first-in, first-out requirements, or fixed move paths in production line flow, making our AV technology a flexible solution in manufacturing environments. The ease of operation of our Air Cushion Vehicles allow personnel to quickly...

BENEFITS easy to implement • AVs operate on standard floors (machine troweled, sealed concrete) • Flexible: minimal operational footprint maximizes usable floor space • AVs simplify manufacturing processes • AVs do not require complex installation (unlike expensive cranes or conveyors) portable • Unlike cranes, AVs do not require permanent installation in the facility • AVs can be relocated and utilized in any facility with compressed air • AVs provide a compact size and footprint inherently safe • AVs provide low profile transport • AVs eliminate the dangers associated with risky rigging...

KEy FEATUrES Automatic height Control system The height control system automatically adjusts the pressure and lift height of the Aero-Casters to compensate for different load weights and center of gravity positions. Our ultrasonic, non-contact style sensors ensure the system is immune to debris on the floor and provides maximum reliability. steerable power drives Steerable power drives provide traction and stability of direction. Air Cushion Vehicles are equipped with two internal drives that include variable speed, bi-directional pneumatic motors designed for high torque at low speeds with...

SAFETy FEATUrES Many safety features are incorporated into the Air Cushion Vehicle design, including: • Simple intuitive operation • Multiple e-stop switches • Independent safety relay in the e-stop circuit • Audible and visual alarms during operation • radio remote allows 100% walk-around visibility • Low profile operation eliminates dangerous overhead moves • Minimal transport height eliminates dropped load concerns • Advanced suspension drives ensure traction over variable surfaces Whether you are moving 10 tons or 800+ tons, the AeroGo Air Cushion Vehicle can handle the load Air Cushion...

WHy CHOOSE AErOGO’S AiR Cushion VehiCle? Comparative cost was derived by comparing the approximate purchase price of a drag chain, air cushion vehicle, conveyor and crane to move a distance of 100’ with a sample weight of 50 tons. Drag Chain Transport Method Installation time was derived by comparing the number of days it takes to install an air cushion vehicle, drag chain, conveyor or crane in a new plant or manufacturing facility to create a new move path. installation time Drag chain Flexibility is derived by counting possible ranges of motion for a drag chain, conveyor, crane or air...
