Understand More About Flat, Low Profile Air Pallets with Rear Push Handle Controls
November 30, 2011Pneumatically powered (compressed air) , air pallets are generally a suitable selection for indoor venues such as warehouses & factories. Working on a smooth, level, non-porous flooring, they can move loads away from a loading dock to their intended destination very quickly. Air pallets can move and lift loads up to 4500kgs with very little 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 help with steering, and drive wheels to ensure of propulsion. Like their aluminium platform transporter counterparts, they’re also relatively 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, based on the planned use, kind of floor surface, and sort of load they would be moving or transporting. A-type air bearings are the conventional standard fit, and when they’re energised, they move the load away from the floor surface “just enough” to float the load which can then be moved off to its desired spot. This sort of set up requires the load to be placed upon the air pallet. When air pallets set up includes B-type air bearings, the features of air pallets slightly change. B-type air bearings have a lift height that makes them lift 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. In addition to the higher lift of the B-type air bearings, they also are a little more powerful and could often work on floor surfaces that seem rougher than the typical smooth concrete type of surface. But, they do make use of about the twice the amount of compressed air as the A-type air bearings do. However, in particular instances the B-type are definitely required for the job and are well worth the additional compressed air that is consumed.
