Safety
MAXIFORCE® Air Lifting Bags are extremely tough, made of Neoprene, embedded with three (3) full layers of Aramid fiber reinforcement on each side, giving the bags tremendous strength at full inflation. Each Air Lifting Bag has been subjected to a stringent factory pressure test to assure maximum operator safety.
Capacity
Does the height/weight capacity match the task? Non-emergency applications may only require one or two sizes. Emergency Service providers need a variety of lifting capacities.
Shape
Match the shape of the bag to the contact area of the load to maximize your effectiveness. Use rectangular shaped bags against linear loads and when lifting on hills or inclines. Square bags are great for stacking on flat surfaces. Rescue crews should have both square and rectangular lifting bags.
Thickness
The thinner the Lift Bag the better. The most notable feature of quality manufacturing is the ability to produce a thin, tough lifting bag.
MAXIFORCE® Air Lifting Bags range in thickness from 3/4 in(1.9 cm) to 1 in(2.5 cm).
Material
Neoprene with Aramid reinforcement comprises most of the lift bag materials. These materials provide strength, durability, flexibility and chemical resistance. MAXIFORCE® was the first Aramid reinforced high pressure Lift Bag.
Surface
Small molded raised bumps provide an interlocking surface for stacking 2 lift bags. Once again MAXIFORCE® was the first with an interlocking surface.
Positioning Eyelets
At least 2 on all Lift Bags with a 12.9 ton rating or higher. A must for rescue work. Allows for vertical placement, safe retrieval and carrying.
Markings
Technical data is molded into the bag surface. Warnings are permanently labeled. The famous “X” marks the center of the load.
Air Inlet
Brass with maximum pull strength. The inlet is threaded to receive a brass inflation nipple. Why brass? No corrosion. Easy to repair.
Works Quietly
Completely silent in use. There are no engine sounds or loud mechanical noises when MAXIFORCE® is used.
