A load transporter in which two supporting cushions of pressurized air are located one at each side of a load being moved, the load being supported by rigid beam members carried by rigid structures forming the upper boundary of the air cushions. In one embodiment the rigid beam members serve to join the rigid structures in spaced relationship, and are adapted to support the load either from below or above. In a further embodiment the rigid beam members are adapted to be secured to the sides of the load to permit taller loads to be transported, while maintaining the space relationship of the cushions. Propulsion of the transporter is either by towing, self-winching, or through the road wheels of a conventional vehicle being carried by the transporter.
