AEROGO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AEROGO from 3G Electric.
What is included in an AEROGO air caster system kit?
AEROGO air caster system kits include load modules and interconnect hoses. For example, the 34,000 lb kit (SKU 408DF6) includes four load modules and four IC 3/4 in x 20 ft hoses. The 51,000 lb kit (SKU 408DF1) includes six load modules and six hoses. The load modules are the lifting elements that create the air film, while the hoses connect the modules to the compressed air supply. Kits are specified by load capacity and the number of modules, which determines the total weight that can be moved. Replacement hoses are also available separately.
What load capacities are available for AEROGO air caster rigging systems?
AEROGO air caster rigging systems are available in several load capacities, including 20,000 lb (SKU 408DF7), 34,000 lb (SKU 408DF6), 51,000 lb (SKU 408DF1), and 64,000 lb (SKU 408DF4). The capacity is determined by the number and type of load modules included in the kit. Higher-capacity kits typically include more load modules to distribute the weight. When selecting a system, consider the total weight of the load, the floor surface, and the air supply available. The load capacity rating indicates the maximum weight the system can support under specified conditions.
What are the AEROGO interconnect hoses used for?
AEROGO interconnect hoses are replacement parts for air caster systems. They connect the air supply lines to the caster modules, enabling the controlled lifting and movement of heavy loads on a frictionless air film. The hoses are available in multiple colors—green (IE-QRPG-075-020), white (IE-QRPW-075-020), black (IE-QRPB-075-020), and blue (IE-QRPN-075-020). Each hose is 3/4 in diameter and 20 ft long, matching the hoses included in the kits. They are used to maintain or repair existing air caster systems. When ordering, verify the part number and color to ensure compatibility with your system.
How do I choose the right AEROGO air caster system for my application?
To choose an AEROGO air caster system, first determine the total weight of the load to be moved. Select a kit with a load capacity that exceeds this weight. Consider the floor surface—air casters require smooth, level, non-porous floors to maintain the air film. The number of load modules affects stability and weight distribution; larger or uneven loads may require more modules. Also check the available compressed air supply and hose length. The kits include 20 ft hoses, but longer runs may need additional hoses or extensions. For replacement parts, match the part number and color of the existing hoses.
Can AEROGO air caster systems be used on rough or uneven floors?
AEROGO air caster systems are designed for use on smooth, level floors. The air film requires a continuous, non-porous surface to form and maintain lift. Rough, uneven, or porous floors can cause air leakage, reducing lifting capacity and making movement difficult. For best results, the floor should be clean, dry, and free of debris. If the floor is not suitable, alternative methods such as wheeled dollies or cranes may be required. Always verify floor conditions before using air casters. The load capacity ratings assume ideal floor conditions; actual performance may vary with surface quality.
What support does 3G Electric provide for AEROGO products?
3G Electric supplies AEROGO air caster systems and replacement parts globally. The catalog includes complete kits and individual interconnect hoses, with datasheets available for each SKU. 3G Electric provides quotation support and can assist with identifying the correct part number for a given application. For international orders, logistics support is available.
