Lifting cushion

The Pronal CLT seamless inflatable lifting cushions incorporate the strength of kevlar textile, the same fibre used in body armour, racing tyres and racing sails.

The cushions, the largest of which is capable of handling up to 65 t, safely handle tricky lifts where there is limited space, delicately raising loads ranging from heavy vehicles, pipelines and plant through to beams, bridge components, building components, machinery and resource development structures. Features include: construction from thread layers coated with chemical-resistant elastomer, hot vulcanised, under pressure, in one operation; strokes from 85-500 mm, with longer strokes provided by combinations of cushions; in addition to standard sizes, specific sizes and shapes can be made to order; ease of use; inflation pressures up to 8 bar, regardless of stroke (CLT models — CPB pressures vary from under one bar, depending on model); non-slip surface providing maximum friction when stacking two cushions; cross-marked for easy centring of the cushion under load; as well as straight lifting, they can be used for pressing, clamping, tilting and guiding; and control systems tailored to particular uses.
