Ship Launching Balloon Easy Handling Strong Buoyancy Cost Effective Use

Customizable Size and Load Capacity
Air bags can be tailored in diameter, length, and reinforcement density to meet vessel-specific weight requirements. This scalability allows deployment across a wide range of ship sizes from small patrol boats to ferries and offshore support vessels.

Enhanced Safety Through Controlled Deformation
The multi-layer reinforcement ensures predictable rolling and compression behavior, reducing the risk of hull instability or tipping during launch or transport.

Durable Surface for Harsh Environments
Outer rubber layers resist abrasion from concrete, steel, and gravel surfaces, as well as UV radiation, seawater, and chemical contaminants, ensuring long service life and minimal maintenance.

Quick Deployment and Ease of Operation
Air bags are lightweight relative to traditional rollers and can be moved or repositioned by standard lifting equipment. Inflation and deflation are simple, enabling faster project timelines and flexible operations in constrained spaces.

Applications

Ship Launching and Hauling
Ideal for rolling vessels on land or toward floating docks, even in areas without permanent slipways or traditional infrastructure.

Heavy Lift Operations
Useful for lifting and transporting large industrial modules, prefabricated marine structures, or offshore equipment safely and efficiently.

Underwater Buoyancy Support
Provides controlled flotation for submerged installations, pipeline handling, or salvage operations, offering adjustable buoyant force with predictable stability.

FAQ

1. Can air bags be used for vessels with unconventional hull shapes?
Yes, the bags’ flexible deformation allows them to conform to varying hull geometries while distributing load evenly, preventing stress points.

2. How do I determine the number and placement of air bags?
Hongruntong engineers perform calculations based on vessel weight, hull dimensions, and ground conditions to provide precise placement for optimal stability.

3. What environmental conditions can the air bags withstand?
They are resistant to seawater, UV radiation, abrasion, oils, and chemical contaminants, suitable for outdoor and marine environments.

4. Is it possible to reuse air bags for multiple projects?
Yes, with proper handling, inspection, and maintenance, air bags can be reused multiple times while maintaining performance and safety.

5. What safety precautions are recommended during operations?
Operators should monitor inflation pressures, inspect bags for damage, avoid sharp objects on deployment surfaces, and use synchronized winching systems to control vessel movement.
