Air bags lifting

Musthane^® designs and manufactures air bags lifting.

The objective of air bags lifting is to ensure the lifting of heavy loads in places that are not easily accessible by the usual lifting means. So their thickness when empty is less than 30 mm. Air bags lifting will have different technical characteristics depending on their use.

There are three main families of lifting bags:
- Aircraft lifting equipment: You use them for rescue operations of crashed aircraft. You place them under the wings and under the fuselage.Their particularity is that they keep a flat surface in contact with the equipment  whatever the inflation pressure.
- Low pressure air bags : we recommend them when the lifting operation requires a significant stroke (up to 800mm) such as to lift a tilted truck. Their maximum inflation pressure is 0.5 bar
- High pressure pneumatic lifting bags :  You use them to break stone blocks, lift a machine...A 1m x 1m lifting bag lift 76T. Their maximum inflation pressure is 7 bar.

Characteristics of our air bags lifting :

They are waterproof envelopes. We manufacture them from elastomer-coated fabrics. They are pressurized with compressed air. This pressure is transformed into thrust and allows to lift important weights: from a few KG to several hundred tons. The pneumatic lifting bags are fed by one or more inflation valves placed on the edge of the cushion. This avoids any obstruction to their positioning under the loads.
We are at your disposal to manufacture any lifting bags according to the required thrust, the size and the necessary stroke.
Adapted inflation equipments allow to monitor the inflatable lifting bags (rise, fall and inflation pressure). For the aircraft recovery equipment, the control pannels are complex and ensure the individual monitoring of each inflatable lifting bag in the stack.
