Abstract: A combination of a fluid bearing having the capability of lifting large loads off of a smooth surface so that they may be easily moved, with a track device having a transversely ribbed continuous belt, the belt being supported by two rollers. The fluid bearings are so situated on supporting elements within the area of the belt that the pressure from the fluid bearing is directed in a downward direction upon the inner surface of the continuous belt, the belt being free to revolve and thus move the load, once sufficient pressure is applied to lift the load off the inner surface of the belt.
