English term or phrase: air skate
Vad är detta på svenska?
air skates are designed to make the maneuverability of heavy equipment easy. Air pressure regulators are used to increase the air pressure for each skate until the specially formed abrasion resistant urethane diaphragm inflates, lifts the load off the floor, and a thin film of air is formed underneath. The load then 'floats' on the film of air, virtually friction free, thus making it easy to position and move. The quality of the floor surface affects the air consumption and the force required to move the load.
