Convertible Salvage Bags for Open-Bottom or Enclosed Lifting
Convertible Salvage Bags combine two lift-bag configurations in one industry-leading design. They are the only salvage bags that can be used as either an open-bottom lift bag or a fully enclosed lift bag, giving commercial divers, salvage contractors, and marine construction crews greater flexibility from a single piece of equipment.
In the open-bottom configuration, the bag provides the simplicity and rapid deployment associated with traditional underwater lift bags. When the application requires a sealed lifting system, the bag can be converted to an enclosed configuration for greater control during recovery, positioning, buoyancy support, and other demanding subsea operations.
One Bag for Multiple Underwater Applications
- Use as an open-bottom bag or an enclosed salvage bag
- Industry-leading convertible design reduces the need for separate bag types
- Suitable for marine salvage, underwater construction, recovery, and buoyancy support
- Designed for professional commercial-diving and subsea lifting operations
- Provides flexibility when project conditions or lifting requirements change
- Available in multiple lifting capacities for different loads and applications
Versatile Equipment for Complex Salvage Work
Underwater recovery projects do not always follow the original plan. Changes in depth, load orientation, access, rigging, or surface conditions can require a different type of lift bag than anticipated. A convertible salvage bag allows the lifting system to be adapted without changing to a completely different bag, helping crews reduce equipment requirements and prepare for a wider range of field conditions.
Select the bag capacity, rigging arrangement, inflation equipment, and configuration according to the weight and geometry of the load, operating depth, environmental conditions, and planned lifting procedure. Always follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and use appropriately rated rigging, inflation controls, and safety equipment.
