Airbag lifting

[Dean Lofthouse]

Here's a new idea to make the job a bit easier, place under the tiniest of gaps under a big felled stem to lift clear of the ground to ring up, will lift 12t and fit behind the landy seat

HI DEAN were can i get one mate thanks jon

What a brilliant idea! Could be applied to so many areas in Arb.

[Dan Earp]

there great bits of kit, theyve been around for a number of years, for vehicles bogged down in sand etc. would be an idea to bring into the arb world if not all ready

Does it blow up off a compressor or off the exhaust?

[Dean Lofthouse]

It inflates to 8bar but will only need a couple of bar to lift a stem, I intend to make an adaptor so I can use a foot pump for ease of use, otherwise a divers bottle is used.

 

My mate is into recovery so uses these a lot they are expensive unless you can pick them up used. This one is about 20" by 14" and I cadged it off him for £50

He did have some 90 ton ones

 

Here's some detail

Just to give an idea of size and thickness it's against the landy wheel

[Ewan Murray]

Whats it like in the event of failure will it just drop quickly or slowley deflate? Does it have an auto re-close valve so if the pipe comes off it doesn't deflate?

husky had something simular as a wedge that work of the saw

[Dean Lofthouse]

It should be operated with a special valve block which has blowoff valves etc but all you do is wedge and chock as you lift for safety. One small pad on its own will lift 9" which is just enough to get some timber under to rest the stem on.

Its quite simple to knock up a valve system with a safety blowoff valve set at around 7 bar so you can't over inflate
