Paratech: Maxiforce Air Lifting Bags, Sold Individually -- Choose the Sizes You Need
Fire departments and
industrial users alike prefer Maxiforce® Air Lifting Bag Systems. The aramid
fiber reinforced lifting bags are the accepted standard for emergency service
agencies worldwide. Maxiforce Lifting Bags and system components have been designed
and manufactured under ISO 9001 guidelines that insure high manufacturing standards,
rigorous testing, and unequaled quality and service.
The Maxiforce Air Lifting Bag is a thin, strong, molded envelope made
from a special Neoprene embedded with multiple layers of Aramid reinforcement. Depending on its size, each Maxiforce bag has the capacity to life, move,
or shift weights up to 70 tons. Paratech offers 14 different bags to meet your
needs. This is not a kit; each bag is sold separately.
The Paratech Master Control Package provides you with the air hoses and accessories you need to connect and operate a Maxiforce Air Lift Bag Kit.
Safety: Maxiforce Air Lifting Bags are extremely tough.
Made of Neoprene, they are embedded with three 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 rectangle 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 5/8" (1.6cm) to 1" (2.5cm).
Material: Neoprene with Aramid reinforcement comprise 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 dimples provide an interlocking
surface for stacking two lift bags. Once again, Maxiforce was the first
with an interlocking surface. Those larger "cleated" surfaces on other
bags are not well suited to easy placement and should be avoided. Remember,
it's not the size of the dimple, it's how many per square inch.
Positioning Eyelets: At least two on all lift bags with a
10 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 to use. There are no engine
sounds or loud mechanical noises when Maxiforce is used.
