Best Marine Salvage Airbags for Lifting Sunken Vessels?

[wildtmpckjzg]

Hey everyone,

 

I’m looking into marine salvage airbags for lifting a small sunken vessel (around 5 tons) in shallow water.

 

I need something durable, easy to deploy, and with good lifting capacity. Are there any brands or specific models you’d recommend?

 

Also, what’s the best way to position them for a stable lift without causing damage?

 

Any tips on inflation, securing, or potential risks to watch out for?

 

Would love to hear from anyone with experience using these in real-world salvage operations.

This is quite possibly one of the most unusual inquiries we've ever fielded here.

It's been a long, long time since I used an airbag and never to lift anything approaching 5 tons! So, I'll just say:

 

Boats have been broken into matchwood when lifted with poorly placed slings. Divers have been killed when an airbag accelerated upwards and drew them with it. Others have been in trouble when the airbags broke surface, lost their air and allowed the load to plummet back to the seabed.

 

My advice is not to hear from people with real-world experience but rather to bring someone with real-world expertise to your work-site and let them take charge. It is not a task to be toyed with.
