Matjack low pressure lifting cushions work best in cantilever or "hinged" style lifts, but can also be used for vertical lifting if rigged correctly so lateral movement of the weight being lifted is restricted. The low pressure air bags work on volume rather than pressure to create the lift, working from 8-10 psi/.5-.7 bar depending on the model. The low pressure cushions, unlike high pressure air lifting bags which lose capacity as they inflate, lift the weight they are rated for the full lift stroke of the cushion. These inflatable air bag jacks are made with Hypalon and Neoprene for unmatched durability and strength, which is why they are the number one choice for low pressure equipment among rescue squads, all branches of the U.S. military and civil defense agencies worldwide. 5 year warranty, but with normal care and maintenance, they should work well over 20 years trouble free.
