Air Caster Accessories

Increase The Power Of Air Casters

Guide Wheel Assemblies

Provide greater positioning control when moving long distances and prevent potential side drift on sloped floors.

Guide Wheel Assemblies can be actuated with a regulator & ball valve or the control can be added to the drive panel of our power drive unit for easy adjustments and operation.

Capabilities

Improves operator control when moving long distances.
Reduces side drift on uneven floor surfaces.
Allows controlled 90° cornering.
Will allow the operator to spin the load in its own radius.
Can be retracted for side shifting, crabbing or precise positioning requirements.

This photo shows a 48” load module cribbed up to the bottom of a 100-ton ship hull. The Guide Wheel Assembly was used to aid in keeping the vessel tracking strait on the 200’ polystyrene overly matting which was necessary because the concrete surface had become cracked and very porous over the previous 30 years of ship building.

Notes:

Partial list of models available. All data is nominal. Model is chosen by application details.
Guide wheel Assemblies can be built into the air plank and air pallet aluminum extrusion, placed under a load like a rigid caster or bolted to the side of a metal frame if lowered or overall height becomes an issue.

Hose Reels

Single & Dual Product reels are high capacity reels designed for high volume delivery of air, water, oil, and fuel at low to medium working pressures.

SP reels are suitable where longer lengths or larger diameters of hose are necessary, but the convenience of spring rewind is required. DP reels do the same, but for dual hose applications.

Low profile outlet riser & open drum slot design creates even wraps of hose around the drum & eliminates hose crimping.
Heavy duty stainless steel rollers are pinch-proof, non-corrosive and have long lasting strength and rigidity.
Reinforced steel frame provides maximum stability.
Mounting holes provided for easy installation.
All working parts are easily accessible for servicing.
Fully automatic self-retracting reel wraps, stores, & protects hose.
High-quality steel construction & durable epoxy powder-coat finish.
Self-lubricated flange bearings.
Heavy ribbed steel discs with rolled edges for maximum strength & safety.
Lubricated factory-balanced spring motor, constructed on in-house proprietary custom machinery, ensures the highest quality & long lasting reliability.
Cartridge-style spring motor easily accessed, serviced and/or replaced if necessary.
Cast iron lock ring with non-sparking bronze lock dog & stainless steel spring ensure maximum safety in combustible environments.
Full-flow swivel insures maximum product delivery.
Multi-position locking ratchet easily secures hose at desired length.
Adjustable solid rubber hose stop for convenient lead length positioning.
