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

Air powered (pneumatic) handling and machine moving systems work in a series of four or more and lift your load away from the floor much the same as a Hovercraft. Our products use the same principle: air film technology.
