Product catalog summary
Introduction
Vetter GmbH, a unit of IDEX Corporation, presents wedge lifting bags designed for emergency situations, particularly bus accidents. These bags ensure uniform pressure distribution and safe operation, making them ideal for lifting thin-walled coachwork.

Specifications
The wedge lifting bags operate at a working pressure of 14.5 psi and have a test pressure of 21.75 psi. They can lift a maximum of 6.6 US tons to a height of 23.4 inches. The bags measure 31.2 x 31.2 inches and require 17.9 cubic feet of air at working pressure. The approximate weight of each bag is 22.9 lbs.

Design and Functionality
The wedge-shaped design provides an optimal lift angle, crucial for freeing trapped passengers quickly in bus accidents. The shape ensures continuous and secure contact with both the vehicle's coachwork and the ground, distributing the load uniformly over the lifting distance.

Applications
These lifting bags are particularly effective in scenarios involving overturned buses, where rapid response is critical to save lives. Their design is tailored to maintain stability and safety during operations involving thin-walled structures.

Wedge lifting bags 14.5 psi-1

Wedge lifting bags 14.5 psi Uniform pressure distribution Safe operation For thin-walled coachwork Wedge-shaped for optimum lift angle Smooth and precise at bus accidents. At bus accidents, your emergency personnel must cope with many injured persons at once, and seconds make the difference between life and death. The special shape of Vetter's wedge lifting bags provides an optimum lift angle. Free trapped passengers quickly from overturned busses. Thanks to the wedge-shaped bags, the load is distributed uniformly over the entire lifting distance. With their ideal pressure distribution, the pneumatic bags are perfectly suited to lift thin-walled coachwork such as the side walls of buses. In doing so, they maintain continuous and secure contact with both the coachwork and the underlying surface. This document was created on 13/04/2021.
