Nov 2021 Selecting a material handling system can be overwhelming. In this series, we walk through the decision process one question at a time. First, we asked how much the load weighs. Second, we looked at maneuverability and flexibility requirements. Third, we considered move frequency and distance. Fourth, we talked about cost considerations. Now, we’re assessing how […]
Oct 2021 It’s not easy to select the right material handling option for manufacturing and industrial operations. Forklifts, cranes, rails, transfer carts, wheeled casters, air casters, and more – the array of choices can be overwhelming. In this series, we’re breaking down the decision into a series of straightforward, step-by-step questions. Read the entire paper here »
Sep 2021 Choosing the right material handling option for manufacturing and industrial applications is challenging. From forklifts to cranes and rails to air casters, the overabundance of options can confuse and overwhelm. Many manufacturers and industrial operations end up making a poor choice simply because it’s the easiest or most comfortable. In this series, we’re breaking down […]
Aug 2021 Choosing the right material handling option for any specific manufacturing or other industrial application is rarely easy. The seemingly endless options can confuse more than they clarify, and many operations end up choosing a poor solution simply because it’s the one with which they’re most familiar. This series is all about breaking down the decision […]
Jul 2021 Whether you’re a manufacturer transporting multi-ton products through an assembly line – or even finding a way to move the manufacturing equipment itself – finding the right material handling solution is crucial to successfully contain costs, maintain production efficiencies, and protect workers against unnecessary safety hazards.

Jun 2021 Moving a new six ton Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT) machine into a medical center can be a daunting task, but not with the AeroGo Air Caster Rigging System. In this video from Germany, watch how the rigging crew maneuvers the MRT on a 30 meter path through the facility, around posts and narrow hallways. It’s […]
May 2021 A crucial step in the pre-flight process for spacecraft is installing the motor. AeroGo engineered and built the Rocket Motor Loader featured in this video. See it here…
Feb 2021 Most machine shops end up with a production layout that’s enormously inefficient. That’s because machine tools can be prohibitively difficult to move. As a result, many just end up living wherever they’re initially placed, so the production process works around them. In other words, they become “monuments” in lean manufacturing terms. That means the production […]
Jan 2021 Cleanrooms present unique challenges for moving heavy equipment. To start, all the normal issues associated with material handling apply: how do you move very heavy and often delicate equipment in a cost-effective manner with the least amount of disruption to normal operations? But then, operators in these facilities also have to figure out how to […]
Dec 2020 Protecting factory floors – especially epoxy-coated floors – from damage when moving heavy loads is easy with air casters. Read the article in Modern Machine Shop here.
