How are air skates better than forklift trucks and cranes?
Air skates, or any of our load moving systems, will never replace the forklift truck for convenience of moving lighter loads, or the overhead gantry style crane for convenience at unloading bays. However, air skate kits and load moving systems do offer quite a bit more versatility over the forklift and crane. For instance, air skates are not too fussy what shape their load is, or how the weight is distributed. They simply need to have the air skate modules placed in the right positions and the load will easily be handled. However, if you have, say, a load that is twice as heavy at one end than the other end, a forklift and crane are going to have balance problems, and as they lift the load it is likely to topple, or it may not even lift at all. Another great example is that air skate systems are truly omnidirectional and can spin on the proverbial sixpence. A load of 6 meters long by 1 metre wide loaded onto a set of air skates can easily be directed into a space that is just wider tha
