AIR JACKS AND CASTERS

generally used in lieu of wheels and have many advantages. All
that’s needed is

compressed air, a smooth sealed surface such as cement, tile,
or steel floor and a
load ranging in
weight from 200 pounds up to 5,000 tons. Some of the technical

Air jacks
designed for lifting applications are especially convenient
when used in conjunction with air casters. These ultra thin
air jacks are less than 1” thick, can be easily inserted under
a machine base and inflated in a controlled matter in just
seconds. Once raised the air casters can be placed under the
load and are ready to go. The air jacks are lightweight and
come with a handle for portability
