Air cushion vehicle is a new means of transportation. Its principle is to form one layer of air film between air cushion and earth and make the hovercar 'suspendT. So now the friction between air cushion yehicle and earth is very smali and a slight thrust can push the air cushion yehicle which is bearing hundreds tons move easily.
Comparing to traditional transportation measures, air cushion yehicle is safer, higher efficiency, morę flexible and stable and of course much cheaper'
Air cushion yehicles are widely used in manufacturing transformers, diesels, locomotives, automotives etc. and logistic
transportation industry as well.
1) Stable function: suitable for continuous stable working, Iow noise, few maintenance
2) Manuał level adjusting, free from unbalance loading or iiquid object sloshing
3) Fault diagnosing: automatic self-diagnosing, easy maintaining

Electridty and compressed air. dean power |
One 15T diesel forklift consumes e570L'year |
Safety Adaptability to irregular load |
In the worst. if air cushion breaks. load will indines 1 degree Perfect by different transport tooling |
Crane/forklift problems may cause tremendous loss Dangerous and Iow effident if using two cranes together |
