Air Bags

 

Dunnage bags are a convenient way to protect goods from being damaged during shipping. Our bags have an outstanding load stabilizing capacity and resistance to load shifting.

Our air bags are composed of an air tight polyethylene inner layer, with an inflating and deflating valve, strong and elastic poly woven fabric outer layer.

Bag Types:

 

Level I transportation mode/products:

  • Truck/Container
  • Glass bottles
  • Paper Products
  • Furniture
  • Beer/Wine
  • Dry Good Products

Paper Equivalent: 2 ply paper bags

Max Air pressure: 2-3 PSI

Level II transportation mode:

  • Truck (piggyback – container or trailer on the Railroad)
  • Container
  • Ocean

Paper Equivalent – 4 ply paper air bags

Max Air Pressure: 6 PSI

Level III – IV bags transportation/product mode:

  • Most Railroad applications use the Level III-IV.  For rail cars with load weights from 75,000 to 205,000 lbs
  • Ocean Transport
  • Paper Mill Rolls
  • Plywood
  • Bricks

Paper Equivalent: 8 ply paper air bags

Max Air Pressure: 8 PSI

 

Level V bags transportation mode:

  • Railroad use for heavy applications.  For rail cars with load weights exceeding 205,000 lbs
  • Ocean – Vertical or horizontal position in void

Paper Equivalent: Level V bags have no paper equivalent as paper bags are NOT capable of meeting the strength requirements of the AAR.

Max Air Pressure: 10 PSI

Bison Bag bags transportation mode:

  • Truck
  • Light duty cargo
  • NOT AAR approved

Paper Equivalent: 2 ply paper air bags

Max Air Pressure of 2-3 PSI

Square Bag

The square airbag was designed and created to serve as the primary function of bracing products with a void space greater than 12″ wide, which cannot be filled with a standard dunnage bag. They are also reusable. ** Square Bags can be used ONLY ONE TIME**

These square dunnage bags brace loads without the need for additional dunnage material. Made with moisture resistant material and an extremely durable outer shell, these bags are AAR certified. They are not made for heavy duty purposes.

Notes:

  • Air dunnage bags cannot be used as a primary load securement in hazmat shipments; however, they can be used for secondary load securement.
  • Air dunnage bags cannot be used in air cargo shipments due to the changes in air pressure at high altitudes.

Bladder Types

  • Multi Layer
  • Mono Layer

Our newly formatted bags are created with the latest technology and features to help secure your loads easily and effectively. The combination of two to four layers of Polyethylene Film on each side of our bags offer superior protection from leaking caused by pin holes during manufacturing of extruded films, minor scratches or cuts, and user handling. These extra layers or protection ensure successful loading and durability of the airbags.

The new multilayer bladder bags have been tested under tough conditions and show no signs of leakage. They are manufactured 100% by our fully automated state of the art machine eliminating production defects caused by human error.

Two layers of film are used on each side for our lighter duty bags while four layers are used for each side of the heavy duty bags.
