Company Description
Rotair Systems Ltd provides first class air-powered load moving systems to customers throughout the UK and Ireland. We have many years experience in the industry enabling us to provide customers with the most effective and efficient solutions. We use air film technology to float heavy loads on a cushion of air as an effective heavy load moving solution. Our team has the skills and expertise to design and create various air film handling products and systems to suit different industry requirements. We largely supply air skate kits with all the necessary fittings, air pallets for lifting heavy loads quickly and easily and transporters for moving exceptionally heavy transformers and heavy machinery. Our products are tough and versatile to suit all kinds of requirements. Our air film products feature the A-type bearing as standard or the B-type bearing which enables higher lift heights. We also supply and install turntables that rotate on a film of air or by mechanical methods depending on customer requirements and the nature of the job. Please contact us at Rotair Systems Ltd with your requirements and we will discuss the most efficient and cost-effective solutions to meet your needs.


Air Powered Industrial Turntables

Industrial air powered turntables have become increasingly popular for use in many industries. These systems are easy to operate with hand, foot or pedestal controls and can be floor mounted or raised to work level to suit user requirements. They can also be supplied with forklift pockets for easy portability. The turntables can rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise and feature pre-stopping points as set by the user. Our industrial air powered turntables are available in diameters from approximately one meter up to seven meters and feature variable turntable speed rotation – up to 20 rpm.

Heavy Duty Platform Transporters

Heavy duty platform transporters are capable of moving up to 200 tonnes or more depending on the base type of the load and the amount of compressed air that is available. This equipment is ideal for moving loads such as waste container, railway locos and carriages, heavy generators for offshore use, aerospace and automobile production lines, and heavy earthmoving equipment. Heavy duty platform transporters are quiet and effective for the safe movement of large or awkward loads. They are easy to operate with remote umbilical, radio control, laser, or in-floor wire guidance systems.

Air Film Technology

Here at Rotair Systems Ltd, we are proud to be one of the world’s leading suppliers of air film technology equipment. We provide industries with a wide range of equipment for moving all kinds of heavy and awkward loads of weights up to 600 tonnes! Air film technology features air bearings which are constructed with a flexible diaphragm and supplied with compressed air at a set pressure – usually 6/7 bar. The air leaks at a controlled rate allowing the air bearing to ‘float’ a few microns clear of the floor. The coefficient of friction is sufficiently reduced to allow the load to move almost friction free.

Heavy Duty Pallet Trucks

Our LiftMate Rough Terrain pallet trucks have been designed to suit the demands of industries such as construction, hire, equestrian and landscaping industries. They are manufactured with a strengthened steel frame and are suitable for high capacity, increased life height and improved stability for large loads. The rough terrain pallet truck is easy to manoeuvre and works easily on uneven ground. It is ideal for use on rugged terrain where regular pallet trucks cannot go. It can handle pallet loads up to 1200mm x 1200mm and features adjustable width forks.

Mechanical Industrial Turntables

Mechanical industrial turntables are becoming increasingly popular in many factory environments due to the benefits they provide. They feature a choice of diameters from one meter to seven meters with excellent weight capacities. Our turntables are easy to operate using hand, foot or pedestal controls and can be either floor mounted or raised to work levels to suit customer requirements. The turntable can be supplied with a forklift pocket base for easy portability and features a speed rotation of up to 20 rpm rotating clockwise or anti-clockwise. Pre-stopping points are easy to set to suit customer requirements.

Liftmate Machine Skates

We provide a range of excellent machine skates and rollers for moving heavy machinery in all kinds of environments. Our roller crowbars and hydraulic lifting jacks are perfect for lifting machines for skate positioning. They feature large-diameter sealed nylon or polyurethane rollers which spread the load and make it quick and easy to move while protecting the floor surface at the same time. Our Liftmate machine skates are easy to maintain, long-lasting, and easy to position with fitted handles. They are also fitted with a rubber surface for stability and to protect the objects being moved.

Hydraulic Lift Jacks

Our GKS-Perfeckt hydraulic Lift Jacks are robust and reliable and provide users with many benefits. They are manufactured from high-grade materials for long-term use and feature precision guideways, safety valves, stable swivel feet, sealed quick release connectors, solid rubber wheels, and an improved safety toe. The hydraulic lift jack is easy to operate and easy to maintain. Various models are available in the range to suit different customer requirements. Please visit our website to view technical specifications or please contact our technical team at Rotair Systems Ltd who will be happy to talk through available options.

Air Skate Systems

Our air skate systems are as excellent for the first time user as they are for the seasoned user of such equipment. They come complete with hoses and fittings as standard and our technical team discusses options at the time of order so that we can ensure your air skate kit has all of the necessary fittings required to suit your applications. The incredible air skate kit is ideal for lifting and moving loads that equipment such as forklift trucks or overhead cranes just cannot reach. The process of floating loads on air also gives omni-directional benefits and precise positioning of the load.
