SUMMARY
The discussion centers on lifting and moving a 400-pound load without using wheels, primarily due to concerns about maintaining a sanitary surface. The user proposed using four downward-facing fans or air compressors to achieve lift and mobility but sought advice on power requirements and airflow continuity. Suggestions included considering gimbaled wheels for maneuverability, although the user dismissed this option due to potential contamination risks. The conversation highlights the challenges of balancing mobility with cleanliness in specialized environments.
