Machine Moving Skates | Material Handling Equipment While industrial machine moving generally involves cranes, pulleys and other similar traditional tools, Hovair Systems offers a different viewpoint to lifting and moving heavy machines – by lifting them from below using top quality machinery skates to do the work for you. Air Skates are not only safe and easy to use, they are also very cost-effective when considering they can be used over and over again.

Hovair Systems air bearing powered systems are designed to lift and move heavy loads and machines that are too heavy for conventional methods such as forklift trucks, overhead gantry and crane methods.
