COMMERCIAL LIFT BAGS Multiple Applications • • • • Light salvage Object recovery Underwater construction Scientific research Excellent portability Commercial Lift Bag replacing a flange plate at the Atlanta Aquarium. Fraction of the cost of a barge or crane Easy for a single diver to use Especially suited for remote locations Deployable from small craft Easy to use • Proprietary SUBSALVE USA Plunger Dump Valve allows air control with a push of a button at the top of the bag and a lanyard at the bottom—vent air from above, beside, or below the lifting bag to achieve desired ascent rate. •...

PROFESSIONAL LIFT BAGS Innovative Design • When the U.S. Navy asked us to develop a flotation device that would dependably withstand particularly abusive conditions, SUBSALVE USA produced the 5-ton Deep Ocean Lift Bag, which has unprecedented strength, low elasticity and superior resistance to abrasion and chemical attack. It became our standard Professional Lift Bag design. Professional lift bags used to lift a 100 ton concrete abutment during the Big Dig tunnel construction in Boston. Multiple Applications • Our most versatile and easy-to-use, these open-bottom, parachute-shaped lift bags...

PROFESSIONAL ENCLOSED LIFT BAGS Multiple Applications · Versatile and easy-to-use, these enclosed-bottom, parachute-shaped lift bags with a single attachment point are essential in construction, heavy and light salvage and many offshore tasks. · “Inverted water droplet” design facilitates maximum lift capacity with least possible weight, with stress distributed evenly over the fabric surface. · Able to be pre-inflated when necessary · Will not dump air if the bag breaks the surface of the water · Pressure relief valves at the bottom of the bag avoid over pressurization of the lift bag...

ENCLOSED FLOTATION BAGS When you need to float an object close to the surface, use SUBSALVE’s “pillow” shaped Enclosed Flotation Bags in any position—upright or flat, outside or inside of structures— for vessel salvage, auto recovery, pipeline and cable installation and emergency flotation for ships, aircraft, submersibles and ROVs. 60 ft Yacht salvage using EFB-4000’s and EFB-6000’s.

ENCLOSED SHALLOW WATER FLOTATION BAGS When you need to float an object in extremely shallow water use SUBSALVE’s shallow water “pillow” shaped Enclosed Flotation Bags (also referred to as boulder bags). Utilize them in any position - upright or flat, outside or inside of structures—for vessel salvage, auto recovery, pipeline and cable installation and emergency flotation for ships, aircraft, submersibles and ROVs. Adaptive · Configure with a multitude of rigging combinations. · Use with a single or multiple attachment points around the perimeter of the bag. Urethane-coated...

SALVAGE PONTOONS 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. SP-70000’s raising the Russian K-77 submarine. 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 SP-70000’s and SP-40000’s used to reduce the draft of a newly constructed tugboat during launch.
