HIGH PRESSURE LIFTING BAGS
Air-powered lifting bags are used for lifting,
moving, spreading and fi xing loads. The use
of high quality materials and stringent quality
control ensures safe operation. Holmatro
lifting bags are capable of lifting loads
up to 96 tonnes with compressed air at
a pressure of 174 psi. This brochure
shows both the allround HLB series
and the fl at shaped HSB series, that
can be stacked for increased height.
The choice is yours!
Holmatro HLB lifting bags have been designed for
safe and controlled lifting of heavy objects. With a
working pressure of 174 psi you can use a smaller
and lighter bag to get the job done. The unique
control unit allows you to operate the lifting bags
with great precision. All developed with a strong
focus on ease of use.

the contact surface will stay at. This allows you to
easily stack up to three bags, for safe and stable lifting
over a greater height. The compact HSB stack bags all
have the same lifting height, so even in small spaces
you can raise heavy loads up to 20 in.
