Air Bags
Load Bracing:
Air Bags are the most efficient load
bracing system available. Constructed of paper and an inner polyethylene bladder, they
cradle, support and cushion cargo loads to help reduce product damage, labor costs and
loading time.
Once inflated, Air Bags protect products
during all modes of transportation, including over-the-road, overseas container and
railcar shipments. Inserted between the palletized goods, they immobilize loads to prevent
side-to-side and front-to-back shifting, tumbling and abrasion so loads arrive safely and
intact. Easy to install in 30 seconds, Air Bags are approved by the American Association
of Railroads (AAR) for use with a variety of products.
Air bags are available in multiple styles and
over 60 different sizes to protect shipments of any size and shape.
Air Bag Benefits:
- Prevents load shifting, tumbling and abrasions
- Reduces labor costs and loading time
Lightweight 200 AR and 200 SE:
The Type 200
Abrasion Resistent Air Bag is a lightweight, bag that helps reduce product damage
from abrasion caused by loads sliding against one another during shipment. Its rigid
construction enables it to stand up in voids, simplifying installation and inflation. The
Type 200 AR Air Bag requires only one person to install and inflate and is AAR approved
for piggyback shipments.
Type 200 AR Air Bag Benefits:
- Prevents side-to-side shifting
- Easy to install and inflate
- 3 times as abrasion resistant as kraft bags
- AAR piggyback approved
The Type 200 SE or Sewn End Air Bag, is the
economy leader for over the road shipments. Its durable construction eliminates
front-to-rear and side-to-side load shifting. The inner polyethylene bladder is secured,
or sewn, to the durable outer kraft paper liner, creating a rigid bag that fits easily
into regular and irregular voids. Sewn End Air Bags are packaged with more to a box than
other air bags, reducing freight costs and storage requirements. The Type 200 SE is
environmentally friendly and recyclable.
Type 200 SE Air Bag Benefits:
- Prevents side-to-side and front-to-back shifting
- Competitively priced
- Easy to install and inflate
- Reduces freight costs and storage requirements
- Recyclable
Heavyweight Type 400/600/800 Air
Bags:
Rough terrain and long distances call
for heavy-duty Type 400/600/800 Air Bags. These bags are designed for demanding situations
in railcar bracing, trailer bracing and overseas container shipments.
Type 600 and 800 Air Bags have a polyethylene
coating on the outer layer, providing superior abrasion resistance during transit.

Air Bags - Trailer Bracing
Lengthwise shifting of loads shipped over-the-road can be minimized
or eliminated by holding rear units firmly in place with a bulkhead consisting of an Air
Bag and the lading itself. The combined frictional force between the product and the
sidewalls - together with the usual frictional force between the load and the trailer
floor - restrains the remainder of the load from moving toward the door (drawing, top
left). In most cases, an entire load can be effectively braced with one or two Air Bags
placed properly at the rear of the load.
Inserting Air Bags the entire length of a trailer restricts side shifting by filling the
lateral void, holding product securely against sidewalls (drawing, bottom left).
Air Bags - Railcar Bracing
Lengthwise bracing -
Air Bags protect loads shipped by railcar by
compacting and re-positioning lading toward end walls, eliminating lengthwise voids. They
cushion loads upon impact by absorbing shock. Air Bags also enlarge to fill voids that
occur when cargo settles. Our Air Bags meet AAR specifications for proper and safe loading
of many railcar shipments.
Crosswise bracing - By positioning Air Bags between lengthwise rows
of lading in a railcar, crosswise voids are filled and product is held firmly against the
sidewalls. Able to fill voids up to 18" wide, Air Bags are used to brace palletized,
unitized, slip-sheeted or loose-stacked products in railcars.
Air Bags - Overseas Container Bracing
Air Bags help prevent container shipments from shifting both laterally and lengthwise. To prevent lengthwise movement, air bags exert constant pressure on the lading so that it is held against the sidewalls. This creates a bulkhead made up of the air bag and the lading itself. The friction generated at the sidewall - together with the usual friction between the lading and the floor - restrains the load from moving lengthwise. Air Bags positioned the entire length of the container help prevent side-shifting.
