A GREAT MULTI-PURPOSE TOOL

Totally-enclosed, cylindrical bags are ideal for shallow water salvage, reducing the draft of a vessel or raising an object closer to the surface. They are invaluable in cable and pipeline operations and where long tows are planned.

  • Each Subsalve product is 100% tested prior to shipping.

Product Details

Fabric
  • Urethane-coated nylon—high-strength and heavy duty
  • Superior abrasion resistance
  • Resistant to most petro-chemicals
  • UV-resistant
  • Low maintenance requirements and easy to clean
  • RF welded seams
Safety and Ease-of-Use Features
  • Replaceable, heavy-duty nylon webbing lift harness is built into the body of the lift bag,
    with a safe working ratio of 6:1
  • The harness maintains the lift bag in a horizontal position while insuring maximum
    stability
  • Equipped with shackles, valves and all necessary hardware for immediate use
    • 3/4″ NPT inflation port with 3/4″ stainless steel ball valves for inflation and deflating
    • Stainless steel quick disconnect for inflation
    • Pressure relief valves set to release at 2.5psi above ambient pressure

Available in both standard cylinder and elongated tubes

CAUTION: Salvage Pontoons have multiple attachment points. All attachment points
must be connected with the shackles provided, and the load evenly distributed. Large
pontoons may require a separate lifting beam to evenly distribute the load.
