The Benefits of Aluminium Air Pallet Transporters for Your Load Moving Requirements

December 3, 2011

Aluminium Air Pallet Transporters are the ideal indoor load moving equipment for factories. They are worked by compressed air (pneumatic) and hence they’re simple and secure to utilize and could carry heavy loads up to 10 tons with very minimal endeavor.

Rotair’s Aluminium Air Pallet Transporters provide an easy and versatile method for transferring typically shaped things with fixed widths and lengths. Sizes begin around 4ft x 2ft, and weight sizes range from 750kgs up to 9000kgs and beyond. Aluminium Air Pallet Transporters are created from hard, aluminium extrusion, are rugged load moving tool and intended to float on non-porous, smooth and flat floor surfaces.

Moreover, they can be installed with A-type or B-type air bearings. A-type air bearings are fitted as standard and would provide just enough lift for the load to float on the floor surface. B-type air bearings are a little more rough and would present greater lift on surfaces that are suitable for this form of load transfer. The B-type air bearing likewise presents a little higher lift than the A-type. This extra lift height of the air pallets can be taken advantage of if you have to carry a load clear off its base before moving it off to its intended destination.

But, B-type air bearings do use a wee bit more compressed air than their A-type equivalent. A rear fitted air manifold includes air flow control valves for each air bearing, as well as an On/Off ball value that links to the air supply source. Air pallet operators don’t have to move too far if they have to modify the air flow settings to the air bearings of the pallets. Air bearing stand-in is convenient and demands the subtraction of just one hex-head bolt for the A-type air bearings and 5 hex-head bolts for the B-type air bearings.

The mandatory weight and size of the load would establish both the size of the air pallet transporter, air bearing weight capacity and air bearings type.
