Air Lifting Bags Fabric Manufacturer
Air lifting bags are widely used in marine salvage, underwater construction, offshore engineering, and heavy load lifting operations. These inflatable lifting devices rely on extremely strong, flexible, and waterproof fabric materials to ensure reliable lifting capacity and safety during demanding operations.
DERFLEX specializes in manufacturing high-performance industrial fabric materials used for inflatable lifting airbags. Our air lifting bags fabric combines advanced coating technology with high-tenacity textile reinforcement to deliver exceptional tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and long-term durability.
Designed for harsh marine environments and heavy industrial applications, DERFLEX lifting airbag fabric materials provide the reliability required for underwater lifting systems, ship salvage airbags, pipeline flotation bags, and offshore engineering operations.
What Are Air Lifting Bags?
Air lifting bags are inflatable devices used to lift heavy objects using buoyancy or air pressure. When filled with compressed air, these bags expand and generate lifting force capable of raising submerged or heavy loads.
They are commonly used in marine salvage operations to recover sunken vessels, underwater equipment, pipelines, and other large objects. In addition, lifting airbags are widely used in construction and industrial lifting systems.
The performance and safety of these lifting systems depend heavily on the quality and strength of the fabric materials used to manufacture the inflatable bags.
Applications of Air Lifting Bags Fabric
DERFLEX lifting airbag fabric is used in various industrial and marine sectors where heavy loads must be lifted or floated safely.
Marine Salvage Operations
Air lifting bags are commonly used to raise sunken ships, boats, and underwater structures. Durable fabric materials ensure safe lifting in deep water environments.
Underwater Construction
During underwater construction projects, lifting airbags are used to position large structural components, pipelines, or equipment.
Offshore Oil and Gas Engineering
Offshore installations often require flotation and lifting solutions for subsea pipelines and structures. High-strength airbag materials ensure safe and stable lifting performance.
Shipyard and Dockyard Operations
Shipyards use inflatable lifting airbags to move vessels, repair hulls, and support heavy structures during maintenance procedures.
Emergency Rescue and Recovery
Air lifting bags play a critical role in emergency rescue missions where submerged vehicles or equipment must be recovered quickly.


Key Performance Requirements
High Tensile Strength
Lifting airbags must withstand significant internal pressure and heavy loads without structural failure.
Excellent Waterproof Performance
The fabric coating must provide reliable waterproof protection during prolonged underwater use.
Abrasion Resistance
Marine salvage operations expose lifting bags to rough surfaces, rocks, and debris, requiring strong abrasion resistance.
Flexibility
The material must remain flexible for easy folding, transportation, and deployment.
Chemical Resistance
Lifting bags used in offshore environments must resist oil, saltwater, and chemical exposure.
Long Service Life
High durability ensures lifting airbags maintain reliable performance over multiple salvage operations.
