Our sister company, Hospital Rigging Supply, originally came out with our first Pneumatic Tire Caster Gantry in 1998.  Others have again followed in our footsteps.  Our pneumatic caster concept is in several of other models of gantries we manufacture.  From our Animal Rescue to Fall Arrest and All-Terrain model gantries.
Now! Which one is better for your application?  Below we have listed pros and cons between models.

  3. Shorter base height for hatchways and transportation.
  4. Better mobility on slightly uneven surfaces.
  5. Lighter overall weight.
  6. Standard with four position locking caster on (4) outside casters.
