Type HL1 Airlift Recovery System 

The broad surface area of MFC Survival's Airlift recovery system ensures its suitability for exerting uniformly distributed lift pressure. This enables its use against accepted weak parts of vehicles e.g. sides, roof, wings, bonnet and boot. The air lifting bag can also be used for light aircraft recovery and the rescue of animals bogged down in pits or ponds. The height of lift enhances access possibilities for medical attention or extrication after ensuring chocks are in position.

Type HL1 Airlift

The type HL1 air lifting bag is wedge shaped and allows full contact with both the ground and the object of lift. Two separate compartments enhance control.

  • 75mm wide webbing yoke bonded to the upper working surfaces complete with
    two steel rings.
