Air Cushion

Product Introduction

Air cushion floating transport platform is a newly developed transport vehicle for heavy loads. By compressing air into the air cushions set up at the bottom of the platform and then keeping the air leaked out of the air cushions, a very thin air layer is formed between the air cushions and the ground, therefore the platform and the cargo are both “floating” on the ground. The friction between the air cushions and the ground is so tiny that the vehicle designed for carry several hundred tons could travel omni-directionally at a very small driving force.

The platform holds over ten patents, functions of which include self-leveling, precision travel, anti-collision, remote control and multi-platform cooperation. The platform product series covers loading capacity ranging from 3 tons to 1400 tons, successfully applied in engineering domains such as aerospace, aviation, voltage transformer, automobile, nuclear, wind tunnel, locomotive, machine tool, etc.

Benefits

Huge Capacity

Platform with 6 tons tare weight could load 400 tons cargo and move omni-directionally

High Flexibility

Omnidirectional movement, solution to the transport problem under space restricted environment

Safe

Stable movement, equipment transported do not need to be lifted thus the danger of falling is avoided

Low Cost

The initial purchase and the follow-up maintenance cost is low, tracks or steel beams installation on the workshop ground is not necessary

Environment Friendly

Compressed air as the main source of energy, environment pollutions such as noise, light, gas and dust are eliminated during operation
