Machinery Moving Skates - Light Duty

When it comes to moving delicate machines, or medical machinery in, say, a clean room environment, look no further than Rotair Systems UK.

Typical VL- stainless steel air caster module.With VL air skates on board,  Rotair's delicate machinery moving equipment rises head and shoulders above the competition. Constructed in stainless steel with VL type air bearings - which will NOT damage floors - these machine moving skates can move delicate machines in virtually any environment. And such is their gentle action, the machines will hardly know they are being moved. Moreover, they can be considered Environmentally Friendly with fresh air in and fresh air out. What could be better?

The VL-type stainless steel, light duty, machine moving skate usually comes as a complete ki,t with a set of four or six VL air bearings secured into stainless steel modules. Also included are air flow control valves and 90° elbow adapters, sufficient air hose, ball valve and push-in connectors as necessary.

Original VL-type stainless steel air bearing and module - top viewVL air skate kits are most suited to moving loads weighing less than 3 tonnes, and are especially ideal for "clean room" applications or attaching directly to delicate machinery that is moved repetitively.

The VL bearings shown here are designed to attach permanently to machinery or loads that are frequently moved. Each move then only requires the attachment of the air supply hoses. Attachment to the load is via a central bolt, the specifications of which are determined at the time of order.

Designed for the material handling equipment industry, these light duty Machine Moving Skates are simple air-powered devices that form load moving systems capable of moving delicate machines and similar loads weighing up to 3 tons.

When pressurized, they form a seal on the floor surface which produces a thin film of air on which to move loads to their destination - think hovercraft here.

You can use any number of machine moving skate modules you like. They are totally versatile and simply snap together with quick-disconnect fittings. No matter what the footprint of your machine may be, we have machine moving skates that'll move it for you.
