Lifting Jacks - Powered By Air Bearings

Lifting Jacks are the perfect solution for moving and adjusting heavy loads that need to be leveled before being set in position.

Lift Jacks - Lift and lifting jacks - powered by air bearings and incorporate leveling devices for load leveling.Lifting Jacks have a built-in mounting plate which enable them to be permanently fixed to their loads. A typical instance of this would be for a piece of machinery that needs to be moved on a regular basis, but needs to be leveled horizontally before operation. Lifting Jacks would be attached to the machinery via the mounting plates. Each lifting jack has a crank handle that allows the load to be lifted or lowered as necessary to reach the level required.

Each lifting jack has an air bearing seated in its module base. Regular shop air is supplied through each bearing's valve and the air bearings are then activated thus causing the load to move away from the floor on a thin film of air - similar to a hovercraft. The load can then be floated off to its destination.

By using air bearings to move these loads you are guaranteed omni-directional movement which ensures pin-point accuracy in positioning the load. When the load is in position you simply use the crank handles on each jack to level the load.
