One of the most important factors that employers consider when it comes to the well-being of their workers is the availability of a proper workspace. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 5,000 employees lost their lives in work-related accidents in the US last year. One of the most common reasons for these accidents is the improper handling of materials.
Modern technology has made it easier than ever to organize and manage materials. At Hovair Systems, we offer a wide range of lifting & rigging equipment and air bearings. We are licensed to work in the field and are known for our expertise in designing and manufacturing durable air bearings for both small and large-scale industries.
This guide will teach you about some of the latest tools we have created to ease oversize load transportation.
Roller Skids
An effective and dependable way to transport heavy objects is by attaching roller slides to the underside of a toe boom or trolley. These allow the equipment to be lowered and easily moved around once it is lifted. Industrial machinery handlers commonly use these to transport various manufacturing equipment across polluted or irregular terrains.
Air Bearings
In addition to being used to transport massive loads, air bearings have also made their way into payload management by providing constant airflow. This allows the machinery to move across the platform without too much resistance.
Traditional bearings can be replaced by air bearings, eliminating issues such as pressure, corrosion, and lubrication management. These are ideal for environments that require spark-free activities.
Machine Skates
Machine SkatesA machine skate is a flat framework that can be used to transport massive loads, similar to how hardwood planks are used to move materials. These are commonly utilized in areas where trolleys and cranes aren’t available. Due to their robust construction and weight dispersion, you can also use them to move moderate loads. One of the most important features of omnidirectional machine skates is that they feature removable handles, which makes it easy to clear out the load without too much effort.
Hand Truck Dollies
A hand truck dolly is used to move massive loads with precise pressure and mass calculations. Its load-carrying plate can rotate 360 degrees, which makes it easier to drive and reduces its energy consumption. These are also a reliable choice for rigging operations.
The anti-slip layer of hand truck dollies is also a major advantage. This ensures that the objects are not going to fall. Its adjustable design prevents components from getting disconnected.
