Give me an air pad
and I'll move the earth! |
|
|
|
|
| Of simple use |
LEVITANS air pad relies on the creation of an air film between the soil and the pad, that may be supplied
by common industrial compressed air supply systems.
The friction is virtually reduced to zero and the load may be moved with minimal effort.
Owing to the cooperation of an inflatable rubber lip and |
 |
| Load modules |
of a pneumatic hinge, used as the suspension, the air pad LEVITANS evolves easily over the floor ondulations.
The air pad moves in every direction. It allows lateral movements and rotations on location with a maximum
of ease: loads are positioned fast and precise. |
|
| It improves productivity... |
Owing to its ease of use, the air pad LEVITANS does not require skilled personnel and requires less
personnel in handling operations.
It's ease in any movement allows the manipulation of delicate or precious goods with a maximum of safety.
Handling time is appreciably reduced: machine configuration changes will appreciably reduce required time. |
| ...with no maintenance |
| The air pad LEVITANS requires no planned maintenance operations: there is no consumption
for a correct installation. Replacement parts, in case of accident, are small and with low cost. |
| It protects your floors... |
The best results of LEVITANS system is obtained on a flat non porous surface.
However, as the bearing pressure is limited, the pad |
|
 |
| Platform 5 tons |
| LEVITANS may move on poorly resistant floors, and avoids the damages found with systems on wheels: the floor is preserved. |
| ...and your installations |
| LEVITANS air pad is used for moving very heavy objects with safety (it lifts up no more
than 20 mm). So no heavy lifting equipment will be required, and no consequent modifications of
building structure. |
