Air Bearing Skids

Leverage air skids to maximize efficiency and minimize maintenance costs while easily adjusting to practically any load configuration and weight.

Solutions Customized to Your Load Configuration

Air Skids offer the ideal versatile, modular system that can be customized to match practically any load configuration and weight. Utilizing our reliable air bearing technology, Air Skids create a customized air pallet that allow one person to efficiently move any large, heavy load with minimal force—especially compared to heavy duty casters.

Supported by air bearings that float on a cushion of plant-supplied air, Air Skids:

• Provide omni-directional, nearly friction-free movement for maximum flexibility
• Can be serviced without removing the load
• Offer low floor loading for maximum safety
• Are available in steel, aluminum and cast aluminum

Custom Air Skid Solutions

In addition to customized solutions, Airfloat engineers have also developed Air Skids from 10 inches to 54 inches with single-skid capacity from 500 pounds to 60,000 pounds per skid. Equipped with wear-resistant air bearings mounted on slide-out trays, Airfloat Air Skids offer years of trouble-free operation.
