Question 1

Do you help size a system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send the load weight, the footprint and a description of the floor and our team will specify the caster type, number of modules and air supply.

Question 2

What floor do air casters need?

Accepted Answer

A sealed, flat and level concrete floor. Open joints, cracks and slope all increase air consumption and reduce lift. Our brochure “Air caster transport and the floor” covers the requirements in detail.

Question 3

How much compressed air is required?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the caster and the load. A single B21N element uses roughly 16 CFM at 30 psi. A four-module 32,000 lbs system therefore needs about 64 CFM at full capacity.

Question 4

What is the difference between standard duty and heavy duty?

Accepted Answer

Standard duty systems work up to about 16 psi; heavy duty systems run to 30 psi. For the same module footprint, heavy duty roughly doubles the capacity.

Question 5

What are typical lead times?

Accepted Answer

Standard load module systems and replacement casters are usually available from stock or within a few weeks. Custom and embedded systems are quoted per project.

Question 6

Is there a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Air caster systems carry a manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Terms are confirmed with the quotation.
