The Rescue Air Lifting Bag is a thin, strong, and molded envelope. It is made from a Neoprene covered Aramid reinforcement and has the power to lift, move or shift
weights up to 70 tons.
Of course there is more to a lifting bag system than the bag itself. The control equipment and components play a critical role in successful lifting bag use. Unlike other lifting bag systems,
Features of Rescue Airlifting bags
Dual Pushbutton Safety Relief and Control Valve
This controller will “go anywhere.” It is compact and extremely portable. There are no protruding joysticks, no cumbersome enclosure.
Rescue personnel can crawl into collapse areas without hindrance. Pushbuttons must be depressed for inflation or deflation. Large, easy to read, color coded gauges. Built in relief valves and closed couplings for maximum safety. Available in single or dual outlets.
Piston Regulator
Adjustable piston regulator is standard and can be preset to operating pressure. Durability is unmatched. “Pressure creep” is minimized as air supply is reduced. Maximum inlet pressure is 6000 psi and inlet fittings are available for all compressed
air cylinders.
Inline Relief Valves
Designed to relieve over-pressurization and allow a lift bag to remain inflated under a load. This is not simply a shut off valve. This valve will relieve excess pressure from an inflated bag caused by load shifts or temperature changes.
Air Hose
A full 3/8" (9.5mm) inside diameter in a wide range of colors. Couplings and nipples are field replaceable using simple hand tools. Working pressure of 300 psi assures reliability. Hose stays flexible over the full operating temperature range of the lift bag. Available in a wide variety of lengths. Closed couplings prevent air escape at disconnect (no blowing debris).
