Lift Bags
Our underwater lift bags are crafted from high-strength, durable materials that can withstand harsh conditions that marine salvage companies and other industries operate in. The success of your operation hinges not only on your expertise but also on the reliability of your equipment.
Marine Salvage Pillows
These are the most versatile and can be rigged in any combination. They are easy to use in a variety of configurations, with marine salvage pillows enclosed design they can be used upright or flat, and both inside and outside structures.
These pillows are very useful for bringing objects to the surface, making them effective scuba lift bags for underwater salvaging of vessels and automobiles, and in emergency situations involving ships, aircraft, submersibles, and ROVs. Each bag has a stainless steel 1/4-inch quick-connect for inflation and a 3/4-inch ball valve for inflation or deflation.
Salvage Pontoons
Salvage pontoons are cylindrical floating bags for shallow water salvage, reducing vessel drafts, and raising objects to the surface. With lift capacities of up to 100,000 pounds, pontoons are suitable for jobs of any size.
Salvage pontoons are often deployed for control in cable and pipeline operations and are perfect for rigging a vessel for long-term towing of large objects.
Open Bottom Underwater Lift Bags
The most easy-to-use underwater lift bags are their professional varieties. Originally known as a “deep ocean” product, this professional tool is able to lift weights of up to 100,000 pounds.
Designed for deep-water applications, heavy construction, and difficult salvage projects, these professional models provide excellent lifting capacity while remaining lightweight and easy to use.
These open-bottom, parachute-shaped bags have a single attachment point and have many deep water uses. They provide maximum lifting capacity with a small total bag weight.
Joint Zone Underwater Lift Bags
Joint Zone lift bags are engineered for demanding construction, salvage, and deep-water projects where reliability, durability, and controlled lifting are critical. Built for harsh marine environments, these lift bags deliver consistent performance when safety and precision matter most.
Key Performance Features
- -High-strength materials resistant to tearing and bursting
- -Abrasion-resistant construction for extended service life
- -Resistant to most petrochemicals
- -Ultraviolet protection for long-term outdoor exposure
- -Maximum lifting capacity with a minimal footprint
- -Low elasticity for easier inflation and controlled handling
We sell and rent enclosed flotation bags, salvage pontoons, and both commercial and professional lift bags. All bags are available for purchase, although not all models are available for rental. Contact our team to identify the best solution for your application.
Salvage Pontoons
Our salvage pontoons are available in both standard cylindrical designs and elongated tube configurations to support a wide range of lifting scenarios. Each pontoon includes a replaceable heavy-duty nylon webbing lift harness integrated directly into the body of the bag.
- -Built-in lift harness with a 6:1 working load ratio
- -Horizontal load positioning for improved stability and control
- -Durable construction suitable for repeated field deployment
Important usage note:
Pontoons include multiple attachment points. All attachment points must be connected using the supplied shackles, and loads must be evenly distributed. Large pontoons may require a separate lifting beam to properly balance the load.
Commercial Underwater Lift Bags
Commercial underwater lift bags are ideal for deployment in remote locations or from small craft. Designed for use by a single diver, they support light salvage, object recovery, construction, and scientific operations without sacrificing durability or lifting performance.
- -Compact size and lightweight construction for easy transport and deployment
- -Open-bottom design for automatic self-venting during ascent
- -Manual venting via plunger dump valve or lanyard for precise control
- -Rugged materials engineered for long service life in marine environments
Ready for Immediate Deployment
All Joint Zone lift bags ship complete with shackles, valves, and required hardware. Every unit is rigorously tested prior to shipment and meets stringent U.S. Department of Defense performance standards.
