Product catalog summary
Overview
Vetter GmbH, part of IDEX Corporation, specializes in emergency pneumatics, focusing on aircraft lifting bags for rapid and secure aircraft recovery in emergencies, such as runway skids.

Specifications and Features
Vetter's aircraft lifting bags feature low insertion height, exceptional side stability, and can handle shearing forces during angled lifts. They are suitable for uneven ground and have a lifespan of 18-20 years. Available in 0.5 bar and 1.0 bar pressure technologies, the latter offers increased stability and safety.

Advantages of Aircraft Lifting Bags
  • Quick deployment and rapid action on site.
  • High lateral load tolerance and smooth lifting to avoid point loading.
  • Repairable with a long service life.
  • Suitable for various aircraft sizes, from small planes to large aircraft like the A380.

Economic Impact
Blocked runways due to damaged aircraft can cause significant financial losses for airports and airlines, potentially reaching several million euros per day.

Technical Data
The lifting bags come in various models with different capacities and heights. For instance, the ALB 60/400 model has a lifting power of 132 tons and a maximum height of 400 cm.

Contour Matching System
Vetter's contour matching system ensures optimal lifting force distribution and minimizes pressure point weight, enhancing safety and stability during recovery operations.

Why Aircraft Lifting Bags Rapid recovery in critical situations allows rapid action on site Secure lifting on any surface In the interest of aerodynamics, modern airplanes are increasingly sensitive in design and construction, with the difficulty that one needs special equipment and know-how to avoid further damage and the resulting additional financial losses when recovering an aircraft. high lateral load tolerance Damaged aircrafts can block the runway, taxiway and gate: the airport will lose several million € per day Example: Learjet ca. 0.25 Millionen € B 737 ca. 0.50 Millionen € A 340 ca....
