When the U.S. Navy asked us to develop a flotation device that would dependably withstand particularly abusive conditions, Subsalve USA produced the 5-ton Deep Ocean Lift Bag, which has unprecedented strength, low elasticity and superior resistance to abrasion and chemical attack. It became our standard Professional Lift Bag design.
Multiple Applications
Our most versatile and easy-to-use, these open-bottom, parachute-shaped lift bags with a single attachment point are essential in construction, heavy and light salvage and many offshore tasks.
“Inverted water droplet” design facilitates maximum lift capacity with least possible weight, with stress distributed evenly over the fabric surface.
Equipped with all the necessary hardware and ready for immediate use.
Each Subsalve USA lift bag is tested prior to shipping.
Fabric
Urethane-coated nylon—high-strength and heavy-duty
Superior abrasion resistance
Resistant to most petrochemicals
UV-resistant
Low maintenance requirements and easy to clean
RF welded seams
Proprietary Plunger Dump Valve – air control with push-button at top of bag and lanyard at bottom. Vent air from above, beside or below lift bag to achieve desired ascent rate as well as 1/4″ NPT inflation port.
Below 2 tons
Multiple nylon lift straps sewn directly to bottom of lift bag, which bears load and provides safe working ratio of 6:1.
2 tons and over
Designed with a replaceable heavy-duty nylon webbing lift harness fabricated into the skin of the bag, which bears the load and provides a safe working ratio of 6:1.
Fitted with a 3/4″ NPT inflation port with quick disconnect or cam lock fitting and a 3/4″ stainless steel ball valve for rapid
deflation.
