In case the lifting power produced by the Ultra Flat Bag is not suf-
ficient, depending on the lift height, then a number of Ultra Flat
Bags can be placed next to each other.
In case the lifting height of an Ultra Flat Bag is not sufficient then a
maximum of 2 bags can be placed over each other. In this mode,
the lifting height is additive for both Ultra Flat Bags.
However the lifting power only corresponds to that of the smaller
bag. Basically, the lower bag should always be inflated first.
Sequence: large bag below,
small bag on top!
Never place 3 or more bags over each other!
An Ultra Flat Bag under load can be compared to a spring under
tension with respect to its behavour. As soon as the Ultra Flat Bag
is suddenly released, e.g. by slipping, load break or anything simi-
lar then there will be spontaneous catapulting outwards of the
Ultra Flat Bag.
Never stand in front of the Ultra Flat Bag!
This is an area of danger!
2.5 Correct handling and usage
The Ultra Flat Bag is primarily a pneumatic rescue device used by
the rescue services (e.g. fire services) with which trapped people
can be freed, access gained for rescue and many other tasks. The
Ultra Flat Bag can also be used as a working device in order to lift
or move loads.
Ultra Flat Bags are subject to national requirements of the fire
service sector. Further instruction information can be obtained
from the operating instructions of the user. The complete Ultra
Flat Bags system is cold-resistant to -20 °C and heat-resistant up
to +55 °C.
