Moving heavy loads – equipment, products, and more—is inevitable in warehouses and other industrial spaces. With electrical equipment moving systems exhibiting limitations in certain environments, many warehouse owners are considering replacing conventional equipment moving solutions with air-based ergonomic equipment.
Air casters, air beams, air bearing kits, air lifting bags, and other pneumatic systems by Hovair Systems create a thin film of air between the floor and the object that needs to be lifted to move around the space much more safely and easily. The minimized friction created by the compressed air tools helps move heavy loads around with minimal effort.
Here are other advantages of pneumatic casters for moving heavy or awkwardly shaped warehouse equipment safely, quickly, and conveniently.
#1- Superior Shock Absorbing Capabilities
Pneumatic casters are the right choice, especially if you work on uneven, bumpy terrain. Even if you transport fragile or heavy equipment frequently, the air film will absorb the shock from the rugged flooring, making it easier to move heavy loads while minimizing the risk of injuries or damage.
#2- Decreased Vibration
Investing in ergonomic equipment moving solutions makes life easier even for your employees. Constantly vibrating tools can be harsh on the health of operators. It can lead to several health conditions, ranging from sensory nerve to joint damage and other musculoskeletal disorders. Air caster equipment handling solutions eliminate the vibrations, allowing workers to work productively without inconveniences leading to long-term consequences.
#3- Improved Safety
Air pallets, air lifting bags, and other heavy equipment moving systems we manufacture are far safer than most other traditional options. Banking on their superior designs, material, and engineering, all solutions we offer here at Hovair Systems are safe for use.
These systems stop working automatically if they’re overloaded to enhance safety when moving objects of different sizes, shapes, and materials. They’re built to protect the operator and others working in the facility. With no extra effort to pull, push, twist, lift, or stretch, the probability of risks and injuries is mitigated.
#4- Reduced Damage Possibility
#4- Reduced Damage PossibilityBesides being environmental-friendly, these solutions are also great for extending the life of the facility floors. Riding on cushioned air, the floor and equipment that needs to be moved have no contact. There’s minimal to zero risk to the floor’s structural foundation or aesthetic appeal.
Using traditional wheels can damage the floor or cause unsightly and dangerous dents owing o friction. On the other hand, Pneumatic casters also spare warehouse owners the cost of frequently renovating the expensive floor in the assembly area.
#5- Boost in Productivity
The highly functioning equipment moving systems are easy to operate. Loads weighing up to 5,000 pounds can be moved easily by a single employee. The flexibility implies that you’ll need fewer workers to complete more tasks rather than involving different hands or wasting productive hours.
The best part is that the pneumatic load-moving solutions don’t require dedicated electrical power sources, as they rely on renewable compressed air. They further enhance safety by reducing the chances of sparks igniting explosions. All our solutions are safe, reliable, and energy efficient. They eliminate the need for frequent maintenance and repairs that involve extensive downtimes.
We’ve got a range of heavy load handling systems that make the lives of operators and warehouse owners easy. These include lifting & rigging equipment, air bearing kits, air beams, industrial turntable systems, air casters, air skates, air beams, load leveling airbags, air casters, industrial turntables, and automobile turntables, among others.
