Airfloat,
LLC., Manufactures Air Bearings and Material Handling
Solutions
Move heavy industrial
loads with air bearings. Airfloat has been designing
airbearing technology for material handling for over
40 years. Air bearings
or air casters work on the principle of using compressed
air to glide industrial equipment over a cushion of
air, providing a cost-effective alternative to overhead
cranes.
Airfloat
products range from air
bearing airskids (air skates, air casters)
to fully-automated conveyor
systems and moving assembly lines. As
air film solutions became popular as transporter
platforms and heavy-duty rigging casters, the
technology was soon extended into air
bearing turntables, including robotic turntables,
mechanical turntables and rack-handling
systems made with air bearings.
Airfloat,
LLC. announced the hiring of Ken Adkins, as Director
of Airfloat Automotive Sales Group. Ken will be located
in Detroit, MI and will have responsibility for all
Automotive-related selling activities. Read
