Rescue Air Cushions

Large Lifts for Large Surfaces

Ideal tool for high lift requirements of non-reinforced broad surfaces found on trucks, vans, and light aircraft.

Rescue Air Cushions are an ideal tool for high lift requirements of non-reinforced broad surfaces found on trucks, vans and light aircraft.

Cushions are also used by collapse rescue teams to fill voids and regain support for Rescue Struts, wall braces and shoring. With a maximum lift height up to 40 inches (102 cm), Rescue Air Cushions are available in 4 sizes.

Paratech’s Rescue Air Cushions are ready for a wide range of applications and are extremely versatile.

Typical Applications Include:

  • Major vehicle accidents (cars, trucks, buses)
  • Light aircraft recovery
  • Filling voids created in trench collapse
  • Small vehicle turnovers
  • Downed or trapped animals
  • Flotation device
  • Industrial lifting applications

A soft footprint allows placement on soft and uneven terrain, with a contact area exceeding lifting height. Constructed with a highly durable contact area, Rescue Air Cushions have Neoprene coated exterior and interior reinforcement belts. Rescue Air Cushions can be inflated using a variety of compressed air sources including industrial compressed air, compressed air storage cylinders, air brake systems and portable blowers.
