About Us
Welcome to the Air Caster web site - part of the Hovair Systems group of material handling sites.
Hovair Systems has been designing and manufacturing air caster load moving
systems for over 30 years and has become a leading manufacturer in the world of air film
technology.
Air film technology is a "relatively new" concept which offers a different way of moving
heavy machines. The principle of air film technology is to cause loads to float on a floor surface using
compressed air as the only power source - think Hovercraft here!
Since air film conception, Hovair Systems has been at the forefront of design and manufacture of
air powered products that transport heavy loads across a floor surface - without
the need for hoists, forklifts, cranes etc.
The material handling industry has been very slow to embrace
this load moving technology, but during the 1990s and 2000s companies realized they can
move heavy loads and machinery in a much more cost-effective fashion using Air Caster
systems powered by compressed air.
Hovair Systems - based near Seattle, on the Pacific Northwest Coast - over the years has
introduced an array of cost-effective load moving equipment that takes care of most companies'
load moving needs.
Hovair Systems have been instrumental in developing pneumatic (compressed air) powered
Load Moving Equipment for prestige companies including:
The Boeing Company • Lockheed Martin • NASA • Goodrich Aerospace
• Cirque du Soleil
Google • TATA Motors India • Caterpillar • Alaska Pipeline, and so many
more!
We have an excellent selection of product sheets, technical specification sheets, pictures and
demonstration videos on the web site which offer comprehensive information on the world of Air Casters.
Thank you for your interest.
