Inflatable Lifting Bags

A lifting bag is a compact yet powerful tool designed to safely raise, shift or stabilise heavy loads, especially in environments where space is limited or traditional lifting gear can’t be used. These air powered systems often referred to as inflatable lifting bags, are widely relied upon in emergency rescue operations, industrial maintenance, construction and transport sectors.

Thanks to their low profile and flexible design, inflatable lifting bags can be slid into tight gaps under vehicles, machinery or debris, then inflated with controlled air pressure to apply a lifting force of several tons. Many models are constructed from reinforced rubber and can handle demanding tasks without damage or deformation. Their precise control and ease of transport make them a smart alternative to bulkier lifting tools like jacks or cranes.

Whether you're dealing with uneven terrain, trapped vehicles or heavy industrial equipment, a high quality lifting bag offers a fast, reliable solution that prioritises safety and efficiency.

ZP Standard Lifting Bag, 8 bar, Load Capacity 30–300 kN, Lifting Height 120–350 mm

Robust lifting bag ZP 8, certified according to ISO 9001, made of high quality rubber reinforced with Kevlar insert. Different versions from 230 x 230 mm to 640 x 640 mm with varying lifting capacity from 3 - 30 tons. The square lifting bags are used in numerous applications: for lifting heavy loads as well as for spreading or aligning heavy components. Typical applications are e.g. overturned vehicles, tire changes or lifting loads after accidents. However, lifting bags are also used as standard in many industries, such as shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, mining, transport or defence technology. The lifting force of a lifting bag is proportional to its area and the working pressure. With a ZP 30 lifting bag with 8 bar, loads of up to 30 tons can be lifted to a height of up to 350 mm. You can find more information about the different types of lifting bags on this page under "Technical Details". Our lifting bags are made of expandable material and can be filled with liquid or air.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a lifting bag used for?

A lifting bag is used to lift or stabilise heavy objects in situations where traditional tools can't be applied, like in confined spaces, roadside rescues or under large machinery. They're commonly used by emergency services, construction crews and industrial maintenance teams.

How much weight can an inflatable lifting bag lift?

The lifting capacity depends on the size and design of the bag, as well as the air pressure it’s rated for. Some inflatable lifting bags can handle loads exceeding 50 tons, making them suitable for a wide range of heavy duty applications.

Are lifting bags reusable?

Yes our high quality lifting bags are built for repeated use. As they are made from tough, reinforced materials that are designed to withstand wear and tear in harsh environments.

Do inflatable lifting bags require a specific air source?

They typically operate using compressed air, supplied via cylinders or compressors. A control valve system allows precise inflation and deflation during use.

What makes lifting bags safer than other lifting tools?

Their low insertion height, even weight distribution and flexibility mean they can lift objects with less risk of slippage or damage. Plus, their soft contact surface helps avoid harming delicate or uneven surfaces during lifting.
