Aircraft lifting bag Mustlift® MARS

Mustlift® MARS is a mobile aircraft recovery equipment for lifting aircraft off runways following an accident or in critical situations. It consists of aircraft lifting bags and their control pannel. Their rapid implementation, reliability and exceptional stability make them a real asset during these emergency lifting operations. Our range of aircraft lifting bag adapts to a wide range of aircraft (A380, Mirage, F18, A320, B747…). The standard capacity of the lifting bags varies from 15 to 60 tons per module. WHEN ARE AIRCRAFT LIFTING BAGS USED ? Runway exits of commercial aircraft are frequent. They result in the bogging down of the aircraft which is stopped and then blocks the use of the runway. After having secured the passengers, emptied the aircraft of its fuel, the emergency is to de-slick the aircraft to clear the runways. To do this, the landing gear must be freed from the mud and therefore lifted using MARS Aircraft Lifting Bags. This allows the Mustmove® aircraft recovery mats or adapted temporary access on which the aircraft rests to be positioned under the undercarriage. The aircraft is then returned to the runway and evacuated. AIRCRAFT RECOVERY BAGS TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Aircraft recovery bags are made of fabric coated with neoprene, nitrile or other elastomers according to the customer’s specifications. Then they are vulcanized in one operation. They are operational between -50°C and + 110°C. They are manufactured in modules of three cushions unless specifically requested by customers. Aircraft lifting bags are air inflatable and are equipped with a safety valve. Each cushion is inflated individually thanks to the control panel.
