Air Lifting Bags
Northland Air Hydraulics supplies low-profile pneumatic lifting bags for industrial maintenance, heavy equipment service, recovery and applications where conventional jacks cannot fit under the load.
Pneumatic Heavy Lifting
High lifting force where a conventional jack will not fit.
Air lifting bags provide a very low starting height and a broad lifting surface. They are useful for industrial maintenance, machinery positioning, heavy equipment recovery and other jobs where space under the load is limited.
Industrial Maintenance
Lift or reposition machinery, structures and heavy equipment where clearance is limited.
Vehicle & Equipment Recovery
Low-profile pneumatic lifting for disabled vehicles, heavy equipment and recovery work.
Construction & Infrastructure
Controlled lifting for structural repair, concrete work and heavy industrial positioning.

Choosing an Air Lifting Bag
Capacity changes as the bag lifts.
Air lifting bags should be selected using the manufacturer’s performance data for the required lift height — not only the maximum rated tonnage.
Insertion Height
Measure the available gap under the load before selecting the bag.
Required Lift
Choose the bag around the actual vertical movement needed for the job.
Capacity at Height
Available lifting force changes as the bag inflates and the contact area changes.
Bag Size
Bag dimensions affect both available capacity and how the bag fits under the load.
Air Supply
Use the correct regulator, hoses and pressure control equipment for the lifting system.
Controllers
Single- and multi-bag systems require suitable safety controllers for precise inflation and deflation.
