Each industry has different transportation needs in material handling. An air caster transport vehicle can be designed and built entirely to the client’s specifications to move heavy or sensitive objects on a thin film of air. Air caster vehicles can replace expensive cranes, roller conveyors and forklifts, either completely or partially. The fact that you can move the air caster vehicle in every horizontal direction and accurately position them, makes them the ideal transport method to move and replace heavy components.
