Product Description
Marine Salvage Lift Bags Flexible Inflatable Easy Installation Long Service Life
Parachute Underwater Air Lift Bags are flexible buoyancy lifting devices engineered for controlled underwater recovery, marine salvage, submerged equipment handling, subsea construction, and temporary flotation operations. The parachute-type configuration generates upward buoyant force when inflated with compressed air while allowing surrounding water to discharge through the open lower section, providing a flexible method for reducing submerged weight and supporting controlled vertical movement.
Product Overview
The main body is manufactured from high-strength coated technical fabric based on polyester reinforcement with protective polymer coating. This construction provides flexibility during deployment and storage while maintaining resistance to water exposure, abrasion, and mechanical loading. Reinforced seams, load-bearing webbing, suspension components, lifting points, and inflation valves are integrated to ensure proper force transfer through the lifting system.
The operating principle is based on displacement - when compressed air enters the bag, the increasing air volume displaces water, generating upward buoyancy. Actual lifting force depends on operating depth, air volume, water density, submerged load condition, and environmental factors. Selection should be based on engineered lifting calculations rather than dry weight alone.
Case Study: Submerged Fishing Vessel Recovery
A marine salvage contractor successfully recovered a 38-tonne steel fishing vessel from 16 meters depth using multiple parachute lift bags. The distributed buoyancy arrangement allowed controlled separation from uneven seabed sediment through staged inflation. This approach reduced direct lifting force requirements from surface equipment and provided divers with improved access to the hull underside.
The operation demonstrated the value of properly maintained parachute lift-bag systems supported by appropriate engineering calculations, inspection procedures, and operational controls. The same methodology was subsequently applied to other recovery operations with adjusted configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the required capacity of a Parachute Underwater Air Lift Bag determined?
Capacity should be established from the submerged weight of the load plus rigging weight, considering water depth, density, load geometry, attachment arrangement, environmental conditions, dynamic effects, and engineering margin. Dry weight alone is insufficient for final selection.
What material is normally used for Parachute Underwater Air Lift Bags?
High-strength coated polyester technical fabric is commonly used, with exact specifications selected according to required capacity, operating environment, and service conditions.
Can the lifting bags be reused after an underwater recovery operation?
Yes, when structurally serviceable and compliant with inspection requirements. After each operation, complete inspection, cleaning, thorough drying, proper folding, and suitable storage are required before subsequent deployment.
Can Hongruntong Marine customize the size and lifting configuration?
Yes. Diameter, height, buoyancy capacity, harness arrangement, lifting points, valve configuration, webbing dimensions, and other characteristics can be customized according to project requirements, particularly for irregular geometries or restricted access.
What inspection or certification documents can be provided?
Available documentation depends on product configuration and project specification. Product specifications, material information, inspection records, test documentation, and operating information can be discussed during technical review, with compliance to industry guidelines established beforehand.
