Solving Air Film Movers are designed for handling almost any type of load weighing from a few tons to a thousand tons or more and are mostly tailored to suit customer’s requirements. Air Film Movers are typically used in various industries for transporting heavy and bulky loads such as diesel engines, transformers, locomotives, vehicles, aircraft sections, paper rolls and containers. Custom-built platforms floating the loads on air is a flexible method of transporting heavy material within industrial facilities. The load to be transported is placed either directly on the Mover or on a load pallet, under which the Air Film Mover drives to collect the load. When in operation the Mover and load float on a thin film of air which provides virtually friction-free transportation and therefore causes no floor wear. In most cases the Mover is controlled by a remote control unit, and only a single operator is required to move and supervise the movement of bulky loads. Solving Air Film Movers are customized and therefore a good choice whenever critical customer requirements and specifications must be met. Air Film Movers are suited for indoor handling tasks over shorter distances, where high degrees of flexibility and manoeuvrability are important. The transport route can easily be changed at any time without modifications made to the building. Solving Air Film Movers are a cost-effective solution for loads weighing 1000 tons or more, when compared to cranes for example. There are few alternative floor-based solutions that can offer the same capacities as Air Film Movers.
