Moving around heavy objects is an essential part of the material handling industry. In the past, industries relied on traditional equipment for moving around or elevating heavy loads around the assembly floor, such as cranes or forklifts. With technological progression emerging to the forefront, these traditional types of equipment were replaced with pneumatic lifting devices. In doing so, these conventional pieces of equipment were replaced with air casters….
