Mass Transit
Save Time with Hovair Systems
Mass transit vehicles like trains and rail cars are a fast and efficient way of moving lots of people. While rail systems are a practical transportation method, they are best left to vast expanses of land.
Railways are a complex & interconnected network that just don’t make the cut within manufacturing facilities. For situations like this, Hovair Systems provides alternative moving methods that save engineers loads of time.
Applications & Benefits
- Assembly: Our transporters fit beneath transit vehicles for free floating omni-directional movement. Only two people are required to move train sets anywhere you need around a facility.
- Railfree Workshop: Our air bearing technology allows carriages and other equipment to move within the workshop unconstrained by rails.
- Storage: With the ability to move and rotate wherever necessary, storing complete rail cars is simple. Tight & uniform placement is made possible with our moving equipment.
- Lifting Ability: high pressure lifting bags can support weights far exceeding the capabilities of most mechanical jacks. This allows for placement onto tracks, and makes replacing parts a breeze.
Featured Products
- Air Bearings: Also known as air casters, this is the flagship technology for all of our products. Air bearings are used to channel compressed air, and then used to float heavy loads.
- Transporters: Specially designed for rail-car moving applications. Two transporters are enough to support a large carriage. Lifting and moving are made easy with control column and handle.
- Lifting Bags: These kevlar-reinforced products come in many shapes and sizes, and can lift up to 86 tons. Their unique capabilities are utilized in manufacturing facilities, material handling practices, and rescue & recovery efforts.
