Maybe this isn't new, but I haven't seen it before, and the Hilman Booth Jockey said that it was new in the last cpl of years.

It was mentioned above, or maybe in another thread somewhere, that Makino was NOT having machines at the show, and in stead would just have a sales team. I am sure that they saved a bunch of $ regarding the costs assossiated with taking machines to the show, but they didn't seem to save much in...

Places that handle heavy assemblies on smooth concrete floors often use air cushion skates ......these have very little friction,and are easily stopped by dumping air from the air cushion.
