The Pillow Type Underwater Air Lift Bags are high-performance inflatable lifting solutions designed for underwater salvage, construction, and emergency buoyancy applications. Constructed from heavy-duty PVC-coated fabric, these lift bags provide reliable, high-capacity lifting while maintaining durability under harsh underwater conditions. Their pillow-like design ensures stability during ascent, preventing tilting or uncontrolled movement of lifted objects. Equipped with overpressure relief valves and reinforced seams, these bags are engineered for safe, precise, and controlled underwater lifting operations.
In a recent marine salvage project, a sunken 12-ton vessel had to be lifted from 25 meters depth in a coastal harbor. A team deployed four Pillow Type Underwater Air Lift Bags with a combined buoyancy rating of 15 tons. Each bag was carefully positioned under key structural points of the hull. The bags were inflated sequentially, allowing the vessel to gradually rise without sudden shifts or tilting. During the ascent, the overpressure relief valves ensured that internal air pressure remained safe, preventing ruptures. Once at the surface, the vessel was stabilized and towed to the repair dock. This operation highlighted the bags' ability to handle heavy loads, maintain stability, and ensure diver safety during complex salvage operations. The versatility, ease of deployment, and reliability of the Pillow Type Air Lift Bags were critical to the success of this mission.

The Pillow Type Underwater Air Lift Bags are engineered to provide exceptional lifting power. Available in a range of buoyancy ratings, they can lift small craft, heavy equipment, and submerged debris with precision. The pillow-shaped design ensures uniform distribution of buoyant force, reducing the risk of tilting or toppling during ascent. By controlling inflation rates and utilizing sequential deployment, operators can achieve smooth, controlled lifting even with asymmetrical loads. Overpressure relief valves provide an additional safety layer, allowing excess air to escape automatically and preventing dangerous pressure build-up. This level of control is critical for operations where precision and safety are paramount, such as raising historical shipwrecks or delicate marine structures.
These lift bags are constructed from reinforced PVC-coated fabric designed to withstand abrasion, punctures, and UV exposure. High-strength seams and additional reinforcements at stress points ensure long-term reliability even in repeated, heavy-duty use. The material selection allows the bags to maintain flexibility at varying temperatures and underwater pressures, minimizing the risk of failure during critical lifting tasks. This durability extends the operational lifespan of the bags, making them a cost-effective solution for marine contractors, salvage teams, and underwater construction professionals.
Pillow Type Air Lift Bags are lightweight, compact, and easy to transport to remote sites. Their design allows for rapid setup, inflation, and deflation, reducing preparation time and labor costs. Standard air supply systems can be connected quickly, and integrated lifting harnesses facilitate precise positioning. The bags can be deployed individually or in groups, providing flexibility to handle loads of varying shapes and weights. This versatility is especially valuable in underwater construction, emergency recovery, or salvage operations where conditions can change rapidly, and timely action is essential.
Safety is a core feature of the Pillow Type Air Lift Bags. Each bag includes overpressure relief valves to prevent rupture, as well as reinforced attachment points for secure connection to lifting lines. The pillow shape ensures stable lift dynamics, preventing rolling or flipping of submerged objects. Additionally, the high visibility color and durable outer coating assist divers in monitoring bag positions during underwater operations. The combination of these safety features ensures that both divers and equipment remain protected, allowing teams to complete complex lifts with confidence.
