How much can an air lifting bag lift?

Commercial ranges run from around 1.5 tonnes to 80 tonnes and above per bag. Capacity falls as lift height increases, so the rated figure applies at the initial contact height, not throughout the lift.

What pressure do lifting bags use?

High-pressure bags typically run at around 8 bar and low-pressure bags at under 1 bar, serving different jobs. High pressure gives force in a thin profile; low pressure gives height and conformity.

Can a lifting bag be used as a support?

No. A lifting bag lifts; cribbing and struts support. Personnel must never be under a load held only by an air bag — this is a fundamental rule of technical rescue.

Vehicle Recovery Track

车辆脱困垫

A track laid under a wheel to recover a bogged vehicle.

vehicle recovery track — product view on a plain background — Product view

vehicle recovery track deployed on site, in use — In use on site

Typical use

Sand and mud recovery off-road
Crossing soft ground
Self-recovery without a second vehicle
Winter driving on snow and ice

Why an inflatable structure

Stows in the vehicle and is there when needed
Spreads the contact patch and restores grip
Reusable rather than consumable

Where this is not the right choice

Rating must match the actual vehicle weight. Spinning the wheels on the track destroys the surface, and this needs to be stated plainly in the instructions rather than buried.

Specifications pending supplier verification

Working pressure, membrane thickness, tensile and tear strength, weight, packed volume, deployed dimensions, fire rating and warranty are being verified with our manufacturing partner and independent laboratories. We publish figures when they are documented, not before.
