Round Air Caster Turntables
Reliable & Efficient
Round Air Caster Turntables
Air caster turntables use a thin cushion of compressed air to lift heavy loads off the floor and let them rotate freely with almost no friction. This makes them a strong fit for facilities that need to rotate large or awkward loads, such as aerospace fuselage sections, industrial tanks, or heavy machinery, especially in tight spaces where a crane or conventional turntable would not fit.

Features
Increased
Efficiency
We improve production line efficiency by unloading and loading racks at the same time, minimizing end-of-line bottlenecks. Air Caster Turntables are a flexible solution to ensure your line keeps moving. We offer several turntable options as well as custom solutions.
Low
Maintenance
Air Caster technology floats heavy loads on a cushion of air, reducing friction and allowing easy rotation with minimal force. With fewer moving parts for less wear, maintenance is simplified with slide-out trays for easy air bearing replacement.
Improved
Safety
With Air Caster Turntables, while one side is being loaded up with a product or material, the other side can be unloaded by a robot or forklift - keeping workers at a safe distance from forklift activity. Center fencing options available for additional safety.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of maintenance should I expect for the Air Caster Turntables?
Air Caster technology floats the load on a cushion of air, significantly reducing friction and allowing heavy loads to be rotated with minimal force. Because the Air Caster does most of the work, our tables require few moving parts and experience minimal wear and tear.
When maintenance is needed, our turntables feature slide-out trays for easy access to components. Regular maintenance, as outlined in the manual, and using the proper air settings with a clean and dry air supply, will prolong the lifespan.
How easy is it to repair or perform maintenance on the Air Caster Turntables?
We designed our Air Caster Turntables to make it simple and quick to replace all internal components; such as the drive, shock stops, the shot pin, and the air casters themselves.
What’s the difference between Air Caster Turntables and Mechanical Turntables?
Air Caster Turntables float the load on a thin film of air, allowing for nearly friction free rotation. Mechanical Turntables can be used in environments without an air supply as required by our Air Caster Turntables. They're also great for outdoor areas or situations where the ability to run for an extended amount of time is necessary.
What are the advantages to using Air Caster Turntables over Mechanical Turntables?
In certain manufacturing environments, small particles such as glass or dust can cause downtime when using Mechanical Turntables. Air Casters offer a barrier of protection from small particles, resulting in higher efficiency over time. Give us a call at 800-888-0018 to speak with us about which type of turntable would best suit your needs.
