Surface Buoyancy Air Lift Bag – Enclosed Bottom Parachute Style “TE/DLE”

The Canflex heavy duty “Surface Buoyancy Air Lift Bags” are used world-wide for raising sunken objects, vessel salvage, marine structure stabilization, under water equipment transport, pipeline and equipment towing, and standby emergency buoyancy.

The Canflex Model TE/DLE (Totally Enclosed Lift Bag style) are tear drop shaped inflatable buoyancy units used for supporting loads on the surface of the water. These lift bags are equipped with one positive venting relief/dump valve mounted in center of the top lift plate. This valve is spring loaded with spring pressure set to automatically open when over-pressured.

All TE/DLE lift bags up to 10 tonne capacity, come with a 146 mm threaded connector and an air tight cap. The use of this bottom fitting allows the lift bag to be either totally enclosed TE/DLE or open bottom OB/DL.
