ISO14409 Certified Marine Rubber Airbag with 80kpa Working Pressure and Natural Rubber Material for Ship Launching

Precision Engineering for Demanding Marine Operations

Our Marine Rubber Airbag is a purpose‑built, high‑capacity inflatable tool that delivers exceptional performance in ship launching and beaching, salvage and refloating, and heavy load shifting. Manufactured from premium natural rubber and reinforced with multi‑ply synthetic cord, this airbag combines outstanding strength, flexibility, and durability to handle the toughest tasks in shipyards, salvage operations, and construction sites worldwide.

Material & Construction – Built to Withstand Extreme Conditions

The airbag is crafted from carefully selected natural rubber compounds, known for their superior tensile strength, tear resistance, and resilience under repeated compression. The rubber cover is further reinforced with multiple layers of high‑tenacity nylon or polyester cord, providing exceptional burst resistance and structural stability even when subjected to heavy rolling loads and abrasive surfaces. The entire assembly is vulcanised under precisely controlled conditions, ensuring a seamless, airtight body that maintains its integrity over decades of service. At both ends, stainless steel metal fittings are fitted as standard – offering excellent corrosion resistance and secure attachment for towing, lifting, or anchoring operations.

Certification & Uncompromising Quality Control

Every airbag is manufactured in full compliance with ISO 14409, the internationally recognised standard for ship launching airbags, guaranteeing that our product meets rigorous safety and performance benchmarks. Each unit is rated for a standard working pressure of 80 kPa, delivering consistent lifting force and stability across all applications. To ensure absolute reliability, every airbag undergoes a comprehensive quality test prior to deflation and packing. This test includes pressure hold verification, dimensional checks, and visual inspection for any surface imperfections. Only after passing these strict criteria does the airbag receive our final clearance – ensuring that you receive a product that is ready for immediate deployment with zero defects.

Tailored to Your Exact Requirements

We recognise that every project presents unique challenges, and we offer extensive customisation to match your specific operational needs. The airbag’s diameter can be manufactured from 0.4 m to 3.0 m, and the length from 5 m to 25 m – accommodating everything from small fishing vessels to large bulk carriers and floating docks. Additional customisations – such as varied working pressures, reinforced cord layers for extra heavy loads, or alternative end fitting materials – are available upon request. This flexibility ensures that our airbag integrates seamlessly into your existing equipment and workflows, maximising efficiency and safety.

Versatile Applications – One Airbag, Multiple Roles

• Ship Launching & Beaching – Used as rolling elements on slipways and dry docks, the airbag evenly distributes vessel weight, reducing friction and enabling smooth, controlled movement into and out of the water without damaging the hull or dock infrastructure.

• Salvage & Refloating – In emergency situations, the airbag can be inserted beneath stranded or sunken vessels and inflated to provide buoyancy, lifting the ship for refloating or towing to a repair facility. Its high lift capacity and flexible shape make it indispensable for salvage teams.

• Heavy Load Shifting – Beyond maritime use, these airbags serve as efficient rollers or jacks for moving massive objects – such as offshore platforms, bridge sections, or industrial equipment – across land or onto barges, significantly reducing reliance on cranes and complex rigging.

• 

Performance Benefits That Deliver Real Results

• Exceptional Load Capacity – With a working pressure of 80 kPa and multiple reinforcement layers, our airbags support vessels and loads weighing thousands of tonnes, ensuring safe and stable operations.

• Superior Buoyancy – The natural rubber construction and closed‑cell structure provide inherent flotation, making the airbag ideal for underwater lifting and salvage.

• Rapid Inflation & Deflation – The airbag inflates quickly using standard air compressors and deflates just as easily, allowing for compact storage, easy transport, and swift redeployment.

• Minimal Maintenance – The durable rubber cover resists ozone, UV, and saltwater corrosion, requiring only periodic cleaning and visual inspections to maintain peak performance.

•
