Product catalog summary
Overview of AeroGo Air Caster Rigging Systems
AeroGo Air Caster Rigging Systems utilize air casters, a fluid film technology, to float heavy loads on a near-frictionless film of air. This technology is ideal for moving massive loads in various industrial applications, including assembly, shipping, plant start-up, relocation, and repair of large items.
Applications and Versatility
The systems are versatile and efficient, capable of moving heavy, awkward, or delicate loads smoothly and omni-directionally. They can be used in any environment with an adequate floor surface, and even rough surfaces can be managed with overlay materials.
Load Distribution and Cost Efficiency
Air casters distribute load weight over a larger surface area than traditional rollers or wheels, preventing floor damage and eliminating the need for reinforced floors. AeroGo systems are cost-effective, easy to operate, and have low maintenance costs due to the absence of moving parts.
Advantages of Air Caster Technology
  • Low profile and friction
  • Economical and reliable
  • Omnidirectional multi-positioning
  • Precise positioning without floor damage
  • Ergonomic, reducing lift hazards
  • Utilizes existing shop air
  • Meets ASME specifications
System Specifications
The systems can handle loads from 500 lbs to 270 tons. The document provides detailed specifications for various models, including system capacity, rated pressure, air caster element dimensions, and air flow requirements. For example, the 4K8NL model has a capacity of 4,000 lbs, a rated pressure of 25 psig, and nominal dimensions of 8-1/8 x 8-1/8 x 1-7/8 inches.

Air Caster Rigging System-1

Air Caster Rigging System Flexible system moves 500 lbs. to 270 tons AeroGo® Air Caster Rigging Systems utilize the efficiency of air casters, a fluid film technology, which utilize compressed air to actually float heavy loads on a nearfrictionless film of air. Advantages to Moving Heavy Loads with Air Caster Technology: Unlimited Applications Air Caster Rigging Systems are ideal for moving massive loads from assembly to shipping, for plant start-up or relocation, jacking or rotating assemblies, precisely aligning machines over footings, rearranging production lines, or for the repair of large and bulky items such as heat exchangers, machine tools and transformers. Versatile and Efficient Air Caster Rigging Systems are simple to operate and extremely versatile. They can be configured to move a wide variety of loads that are heavy, awkward or delicate. Load movement is smooth and omni-directional, making it easy to precisely place heavy loads—even in tight spaces. Rigging Systems can be utilized in any work environment where there is an adequate floor surface. Even rough surfaces can be overcome by placing inexpensive overlay material to create a smooth travel path. Superior Load Distribution Air casters distribute load weight over a much greater surface area than rollers or wheels. This eliminates floor surface damage and the need for specially reinforced floors. Easy to Implement and Inexpensive to Operate AeroGo systems are more costeffective—and much easier to operate—than traditional load movement methods. Plus, there are no moving parts so maintenance costs are low. 1170 Andover Park West Tukwila, WA 98188-3909 email: [email protected] www.aerogo.com • Economical and reliable • Omnidirectional multi-positioning • Flexible for a variety of applications • Precise positioning without floor damage compared to traditional material handling equipment methods • Ergonomic – reduces lift hazards • Utilizes existing shop air • Aero-Casters
