SUBSALVE – PROFESSIONAL ENCLOSED LIFT BAG
Innovative Design
• 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 petro-chemicals
• UV-resistant
• Low maintenance requirements and easy to clean
• RF welded seams
Easy to use
• 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.
