Construction
The equipment consists of a Solving air film mover designed to lift and move steel pallets (on
which the transformers remain during the production process) from one station to another. The
air film mover consists of a rigid steel construction incorporating both air bearings, wheels,
drive units, a control system and a hose reel for the air supply. One single operator
manoeuvres the system from a portable radio transmitter.

Advantage
The Solving air film mover incorporating all the necessary technology is designed to lift and
accurately move steel pallets from one station to another. Electrical drive units and integrated
batteries improve the flexibility of the mover, and allow it to be operated without load free of any
trailing cables or air hoses; these are connected only when a loaded steel pallet is to be
moved.

Result
Nowadays air film-based moving equipment is used by most of the worlds transformer
manufacturers. Air film technology is considered ideal for handling transformers weighing
several hundred tonnes quickly and smoothly through production and test facilities. In order to
meet the demand, Solving provides a wide range of transformerhandling equipment for the
industry today.
