The new agreement authorizes Exotic to sell the aluminum piping in sizes 16.5mm to 168mm.
Farmington Hills, MI – April 3rd, 2018: Exotic Automation & Supply, a premier Parker Hannifin distributor, announced today they are now a full-line authorized distributor for Parker Transair piping in sizes up to 168mm. The new offering significantly expands Exotic’s ability to provide safe, lightweight, corrosion resistant piping solutions to customers.
Parker Hannifin Transair is an aluminum pipe system for compressed air, vacuum and inert gas applications. Its lightweight components and quick-connect interlocking design allow for easy and immediate layout modifications and require no need to thread, solder, or glue pipe. Transair’s ability to integrate into existing copper and steel piping systems without compromising performance makes it ideal for upgrades or expansion products.
“A full-bore aluminum air piping system is a cleaner, safer, more cost-effective choice than traditional black iron pipe.” Mike Chapman, Business Unit Manager said. “It is 100% recyclable, 100% silicone free and does not contaminate customers air systems like traditional piping systems.”
Transair is also ideal for aggressive environments, with a powder-coated outer surface that enhances its mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. The product is also environmentally sustainable, responsible for reducing the carbon footprint over 80% versus steel piping installations.
“Our customers are requesting Transair systems more and more with the cost savings they provide compared to other piping systems.” Steve Orlando, Vice President of Sales & Marketing said. “We have significantly increased our stock in sizes up to 168mm at all 10 locations and feature dedicated Transair displays at our Ann Arbor and Shelby locations.”
Exotic’s Transair Product Managers are available to offer on-site demonstrations, training and assistance to customers. Additional information can be found at www.parker.com/transair.

Enerpac’s new Low-Height Skidding System is a modular system that can jack and slide heavy loads over a pre-constructed track. The system is comprised of a series of skid beams moved by hydraulic push-pull units, traveling over a pre-constructed track. A series of special PTFE-coated pads are placed on the skid tracks to reduce friction. The push-pull units are powered by a standard Enerpac Split Flow Pump to ensure each skid beam travels synchronously.
In addition to its low height, this system offers a 2-in-1 design. It can be used either on a fully supported surface or combined with the optional track support for added rigidity when the support surface is not fully supported or when spanning a gap is necessary. This two-part design means you do not need to own two sets of track for various ground support conditions.
Features:
• 2-in-1 track design for added support
• Intuitive pump controls
• Easily reversible to change skidding direction
• Portable design for quick setup
• 400 ton skidding capacity with two push-pull units
