Trelleborg™ VEGA Flat Lifting Bag – 12 BAR (174 PSI)

VEGA FLAT lifting bags with 12 BAR (174 PSI) working pressure class, provide exceptional lifting capacity. The flat bags enable superior stability and encompass improved features making them the best lifting bag on the market. Their unique flat surface design allows stability that greatly increases operator safety.

Placing 3 FLAT bags on top of each other makes them useful in a variety of demanding situations. Our new design brings many new features on both, the bags and accessories.

FEATURES

Lifting Bag

• Lifting height marking
  A lifting height marking on the front of the lifting bag allows easy comparative assessment of the lifting height.
• Lateral edge
  The lateral edge of the lifting bag is specially designed to allow insertion into narrow slots.
• Sliders
  The lifting bags have sliders for easy handling and added protection during use. Indirect manipulation of bags is also possible by inserting ropes through the holes in the sliders.
• Increased surface contact between lifting bag and the load
  Square lifting surface provides a larger contact area compared to conventional lifting bags. This configuration prevents point lift when the lifting bag is inflated, enhancing control during load lifting.
• Higher stability of the lifting bags
  At maximum lifting height, the bags function as a robust support. Even when utilizing a set of three bags, transverse movement remains minimal, ensuring superior stability.
• Easy Identification
  The maximum load capacity and the lifting height are indicated on the front of the integrated handle for bag identification when these are stored or set parallel to each other.
• Interlocking system & High friction surface
  The bag top and bottom have an interlocking system for a stable cascade-like combining of lifting bags. The surface of high-pressure lifting bags enables smooth insertion and high friction forces during lifting.
• New Modern Design
  The Nova boasts a new modern design combining innovative functional features and and attractive appearance.
• Secure connection & Robust cap & Pressure class
  The inflation connector is located on the edge of the bag on the front side to allow an easy and ergonomically-friendly connection of the inflation hose. The position of the connector and the integrated handle protect the connector from possible mechanical damage. A robust and purpose-designed rubber cap protects the inflation connector and provides a good grip when working with firefighter gloves. The pressure class is clearly and uniquely indicated on the main label on the high-pressure lifting bag.
• Physical dimensions & English & German texts & Online instruction manual
  All physical dimensions on the labels are given in both the international system of units and imperial units. The text on the labels is in English and German. The QR code on the main label on the lifting bag offers easy access to the full version of the instruction manual online. A printed copy of short instructions is added to each bag.
• Higher elevation of the lifting bags set
  Flat bags have a good stability, therefore a set of three bags is allowed. Conventional bags limit the use to a set of maximum two bags. Set of flat bags also enables a higher lift compared to the conventional lifting bags with the same lifting characteristics.
• Holes for inserting a rope & Easy handling
  The handle comes with holes for attaching support ropes, which is practical when using lifting bags for spreading. The Nova high-pressure lifting bag has an integrated rubber handle for easy handling. The handle comes with holes for attaching support ropes, which proves practical when lifting bags are used for spreading.
• Reflective Markings
  Reflective markings on all four edges and in the center of the bag allow accurate setting even in low visibility. Lifting bags have position markings:
  • A central cross for positioning the lifting point.
  • Lateral reflective markings for positioning the insertion depth.
• Fully Certified
  The Nova high-pressure lifting bag system is fully certified by an independent institution and complies with the European standard EN 13731.
  
• Serial Number
  The serial number of high-pressure lifting bags is written numerically and as a QR code. The QR code contains a serial number that can be read by a QR code reader. The numerical part and the QR serial number show the date of manufacture of the lifting bag.

Inflation Hoses

• Clearly marked pressure class
  The pressure class of the hose is clearly marked and engraved in the coupling and plug of the inflation hose.
  
• Durably marked hoses
  The hoses are durably marked with a numerical serial number, a QR code and a non-coded record of the date of manufacture.
• Hoses made of robust rubber
  Inflation hoses made of robust rubber are more flexible and can be used in a wider temperature range.

Controller

• Robust housing & High pressure gauges protection
  The controller housing is robust and compact. The housing of the inlet and outlet pressure gauges protects them from possible mechanical damage.
• Different inlet coupling & Easy coupling connection
  The appearance and position of the inlet coupling differ from that of the outlet couplings. The coupling layout allows easy connection/disconnection, even when using firefighter gloves.
• Marked pressure class, precise control and luminous dials
  The pressure class of the controller is clearly and uniquely marked. The inlet pressure gauge controls the inlet pressure and indirectly also the compressed air quantity in the pressure vessel. The inlet and outlet pressure gauges have luminous dials that glow in the dark and are thus easy to read even in low visibility. Dial scales show international and imperial units of measurement.
• Striking green color
  The striking green color of the case ensures better visibility at the rescue site.
• Angled faceplate
  The controller faceplate is at an angle of 15°, which allows a better view of the pressure gauges when in use.
• Ergonomically designed levers
  The ergonomically-designed manipulating levers allow easy operation with firefighter gloves. Their shape indicates the direction of manipulation. The lever shape and size offer protection from possible mechanical damage.
• Rubber feet
  The controller is equipped with rubber feet to ensure stability during use.
• EUROBOX compatible
  The outer dimension of the housing is limited to allow storage in EUROBOX boxes.
• Controller stability
  The housing provides stability if the controller is set vertically for connecting/disconnecting inflation hoses.
• Light mounting option
  In low visibility, a light can be fixed on the controller. The fixing points are marked on the handle of the controller.
• Robust and detachable neck strap
  We recommend using a neck strap when working in a standing posture. The robust and detachable neck strap has a softly padded part for comfort.

Controller Case

• Convenient transparent inside pocket
  The inside pocket is convenient for storing relevant documents. User labels can be put into a transparent pocket on the outside of the case.
• Dedicated hard-shell case & Optimal protection
  We recommend using a dedicated hard-shell case that offers optimal protection to the controller. By (not) using an insert, the case can protect both the two- and three-channel controllers (2EXP or 3EXP).
• Perfect fit for the controller & Innovative case design
  The case fits tightly to the controller housing to prevent it from moving. The controller is additionally fixed in the case interior with Velcro fasteners. The case design allows the use of the controller directly from the case. With the case top open, the operator can have a glance at short instructions on the inside pocket surface.
• Handy carrying handle
  A carrying handle on the short side of the case comes in handy.
