Anyone ever made their own air skates for moving machines? Im contemplating it - but cant justify the cost of buying a setup for the little use they will see. And sometimes I end up with free time and can afford to make something that I cant afford to otherwise buy.
Ive seen very little on designs other than the sort of air bag/cushion style... but was wondering what other workable options there might be design wise.
Heaviest machine presently is 10-11k lbs - and likely wont ever go a lot heavier than that... (my forklift is 16k and it struggles with the 11k machines - she's old and worn) - three lathes, a VMC, and a EDM I can move with a pallet jack if needed.
Curious to hear any thoughts or ideas - well, other than "just go buy a set".
