Ship Launching Airbag Marine Rubber Airbag Heavy Lift Air Bags Marine Rubber Airbag

Generally airbag ship launching is carried out on a ramp, with suitable angle the vessel can move into water by the sliding force from its gravity once the holding system is released.
There are two methods of holding system releasing corresponds to free launching" and“controlled launching" separately. The free launching means the connection of holding system with vessel will be unlashed when vessel is launched , it needs wide water area.

Boat launching airbags are a cost-effective option for launching and towing boats, inflated with compressed air to create a cushion of air between the boat and the ground, allowing the boat to be launched safely and easily. Our engineers will carefully consider size, quality and suppliers can help ensure the most cost-effective option for your use environment. This is a popular and cost effective method of launching and towing vessels.

In case the launch water area is limited, the controlled launch is preferred. Winches will be released slowly to control
the movement of vessel, once vessel floats, it will be stopped by winches' pulling.
Applicability of airbag ship launching
The airbag launching feasibility of a specified vessel should be calculated first but there are some simple rules may
help people to know launch feasbility quickly.
The majority of airbag ship launching is end launching but side launching is feasible only when some rigorous
conditions are satisfied.
Vessels whose DWT below 70,000 tonnes may be launched with airbags. Regarding bigger vessels only by calculation
people can know the launch feasibility.
Airbag ship docking/beaching introduction
Airbag ship docking means people haul out vessels to the land with pulling winches and rolling airbags. Comparing
with tradtional tolly docking method, This system has less demand of ramp/slipway and also the pulling winch.

We're the leading supplier for ISO14409:2011 or CB/T 3795 rubber airbags/marine inflatable airbags, supplying to shipyards & trading companies in over 6 continents for ship launching, repairs & mobilisation use.

These cylindrical-shaped rubber inflatable is the product of precise engineering that witnesses high grade flexible rubber material undergo innovative layering manufacturing and extremely strict quality control compliances.

Standard ship launching airbags have sizes up to 2.5m in diameter and 25m in length for hoisting and transporting heavy structure up to more than 10,000 tonnes. However, some airbags for buoyancy purposes can go up to 4.0m in diameter.

The product is also widely used for mobilisation of various large scale prefabricated steel concrete, gas drilling equipments, architectures and caissons etc.

General introduction of Ship launching with marine airbags
The traditional ship launching methods include end on launching,side launching and dry dock floating. Most airbag
ship launching are end on launching.
To launch a vessel with marine airbags, people should set up holding system first , then lift vessel from keel blocks
remove blocks and move the vessel with airbags into water at last.
