AeroGo

AeroGo, founded in 1967 and headquartered in Tukwila, Washington, specializes in the design and manufacture of air casters and innovative load-moving solutions. Utilizing air film technology, AeroGo's products facilitate the movement of heavy and oversized loads with minimal friction and effort. Their solutions are particularly valuable in environments where traditional wheeled transport isn't feasible or where delicate handling of large items is required.

Key Offerings:

Air Casters: These devices use a thin layer of air to lift and move heavy objects. The resulting low friction allows for the transport of heavy loads with minimal force.

Air Platfoms: Ideal for ergonomic positioning and easy movement of hefty loads.

Air Skid Systems: Used in various industries like aviation, manufacturing, and material handling, these systems provide flexible solutions for moving equipment and materials.

Custom Solutions: AeroGo also specializes in tailored solutions to meet specific industrial needs, including those in cleanroom environments.

Applications:

AeroGo's technology is applicable across a range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and healthcare. Their solutions have been used for moving large manufacturing equipment, aircraft components, and even entire buildings.

Industry Impact:

The company's technology offers several benefits:

Efficiency: Reduced friction makes moving heavy loads quicker and easier.

Safety: Air caster systems distribute weight evenly, reducing the risk of damaging floors and loads.

Adaptability: Their systems can be adapted for a wide range of environments and applications.

Services:

AeroGo also provides consultation, training, and support services to ensure that clients can effectively implement and utilize their load-moving equipment.

In summary, AeroGo is a leader in innovative load movement technologies, specializing in air caster systems that simplify the transport of heavy and cumbersome items, thereby improving efficiency, safety, and adaptability in diverse industrial settings.

BHP Signs Charter Contracts with COSCO for Two Ammonia Dual-Fueled Vessels

3 days ago

Australia’s BHP Group has signed contracts with COSCO Shipping Bulk, a subsidiary of COSCO Shipping, for the charter of two ammonia dual-fueled Newcastlemax bulk carriers.The new vessels to be built under the arrangement will be two of only a handful of vessels in the world capable of using ammonia as a marine fuel.The two vessels, expected to be delivered from 2028, will primarily transport iron ore from Western Australia to Northeast Asia.When run on lower or low to zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ammonia, these vessels will be capable of reducing GHG emissions by at least 50% and up to 95% on a per voyage basis compared to a conventionally fueled voyage, according to BHP.

ESG Wins Bid to Build Washington State Hybrid Electric Ferries

4 days ago

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson announced he has selected the $714.5 million bid from Florida-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group to build three new 160-vehicle hybrid-electric ferries. “We’re restoring domestic service to pre-pandemic levels years ahead of schedule, improving crew retention, and soon will bring our first hybrid-electric vessel into service,” Governor Ferguson said. “After careful consideration and conversations with legislative leaders, I believe Eastern is the best option to build these critically important vessels at a fair cost to our taxpayers.
