Petersen Products Company: High Pressure Heavy Lifting Air Bags

161 Series High Pressure Heavy Lifting Air Bags Sizes: 6" to 36"

Inflation controllers, gauges, hoses, etc. on our accessories page High Pressure Heavy Lift Bag for lifting the heaviest loads; up to 74 US tons. Use when maximum lifting force is needed in low clearance situations.
	These air lift bags exerts up to 116 pounds per square inch of contact surface. Solid brass and thick Kevlar-cord reinforced rubber pneumatic lifting system minimizes risk, sparks and damage caused by mechanical or hydraulic devices. These pneumatic high-pressure heavy lifting air bags are manufactured for heavy-duty, low profile heavy lifting, emergency rescue, HAZMAT management or industrial use. Heavy lifting bags are thin profile and simple to use. The convex dimpled, interlocking surface and safety straps provides superior gripping power when two lifting bags are stacked on top of each other. Twelve standard sizes are available with lift capacity up to 74 tons. Safety straps minimize shifting hazards and allow bags to be strapped together for safety. Safety straps provide anchorage for attachment of pulling and placement ropes so it is not necessary for personnel to reach under a live, unstable load. The application range of our standard pneumatic lift bags is further expanded by our heavier industrial lifting bags. Custom engineered heavy lifting bags for special purpose applications are also available. Use for heavy load shifting, dunnage, leveling, or padded support up to 74 tons and higher. The lifting bag is equipped with interchangeable couplers that are adaptable with all other types of air.

*Inflatable Plug Warning: Maximum head pressures that a pipe plug may restrain can only be estimated. Slippage is influenced by many factors including fluid in the pipe, coefficient of pipeline friction, pressure required to inflate the plug, and accuracy of pressure gauges. Generally, a Multi-Flex™ Inflatable Plug inserted fully into pipeline will begin slipping between 50% and 80% of the inflation pressure if it has an inflated pipe contact length of 1 ½ to 2 times the diameter, but even a head of 50% of the inflation pressure may cause slippage with some liquids. The inflation pressure is also subject to temperature change and debris or protrusions in the pipeline that could rupture the plug. The inflation pressure should be monitored and plugs anchored and/or mechanically blocked when slippage may cause property damage or injury. NEVER use a test pressure greater than the capacity of the weakest pipe or component in the system. NEVER use an inflatable plug when its failure would cause injury.
