Pneumatically powered (compressed air) , air pallets tend to be an ideal choice for indoor places such as factories & warehouses. Working on a smooth, level, non-porous floor surface, they could take loads away from a loading dock to their intended place in a short period of time. Air pallets can lift & move loads up to 4500kgs with very minimal human effort. For loads beyond 4500kgs, Rotair Systems offers custom-built air pallets to fit your specifications. Choices include the fitting of integral guide wheels to aid with steering, and drive wheels to ensure of propulsion. Like their aluminium platform transporter counterparts, they’re also reasonably low profile and have a height of around 2 inches with deflated air bearings. Air pallets are offered with either A-type or B-type air bearings, depending on the envisioned use, sort of flooring, and kind of load they will be transporting. A-type air bearings are the orthodox standard fit, and when they’re energised, they move the load away from the floring surface “just enough” to float the load which can then be moved off to its envisioned place. This kind of set up requires the load to be put upon the air pallet. When air pallets set up includes B-type air bearings, the attributes of air pallets alter slightly. B-type air bearings have a lift height which makes them carry a load or pallet away from its base before moving it laterally to its destination. This kind of lift is available for many situations when loads are not able to be placed on the air pallet by other ways. Aside from the higher lift of the B-type air bearings, they also are a little more powerful and could usually work on flooring that seem rougher than the regular smooth concrete type of surface. However, they do utilize about the twice the amount of compressed air as the A-type air bearings do. But, in certain situations the B-type are definitely required for the job and are well worth the additional compressed air that is used.
