Understand More About Air Pallets - Heavy Load Moving Equipment

Pneumatically powered (compressed air) , air pallets are typically a suitable choice for indoor areas like warehouses and factories. Working on a smooth, level, non-porous floor surface, they could take loads away from a loading dock to their intended spot in a short period of time. Air pallets can move and lift loads up to 4500kgs with very minimal human effort.

For loads beyond 4500kgs, Rotair Systems offers custom-built air pallets to match your specifications. Selections include the fitting of integral guide wheels to aid with steering, and drive wheels to check of propulsion. Like their aluminium platform transporter counterparts, they’re also reasonably low profile and have a height of around 2 inches with deflated air bearings. Air pallets are made available with either A-type or B-type air bearings, based on the envisioned use, kind of floring surface, and kind of load they would be moving or transporting.

A-type air bearings are the orthodox standard fit, and when they are energised, they move the load away from the flooring “just enough” to float the load which could then be moved off to its envisioned area. This kind of set up requires the load to be placed upon the air pallet. When air pallets set up includes B-type air bearings, the attributes of air pallets slightly gets altered. B-type air bearings have a lift height that makes them lift a load or pallet away from its base before moving it laterally to its location. This type of lift is available for numerous situations when loads are not able to be put on the air pallet by other ways. In addition to the higher lift of the B-type air bearings, they also are a little more powerful and can often work on surfaces that seem rougher than the typical smooth concrete type of flooring. But, they do use about the twice the amount of compressed air as the A-type air bearings do. However, in certain circumstances the B-type are truly required for the job and are well worth the additional compressed air that is spent.
