Dunnage Air Bag for Container and Truck Loads

Movement in transit is the largest cause of damage inside a sealed container

The problem it prevents

The container arrives locked and undamaged, and the goods inside are broken.

Container damage gets blamed on the shipping line, on the port, on rough handling. It is usually the void inside the container.

You paid for the goods, the freight and the packaging, and lost the lot to an empty gap that was never filled. Recovery rates on those claims are usually very low.

What it is

An inflatable bag placed in the empty space between pallets, or between the load and the container wall, and then inflated. It fills the void and holds the load firmly in place, so nothing can slide, tip or knock against anything else during transport.

Key features

  • Fills the void between loads and stops movement in transit
  • Inflates in seconds with a standard air line
  • Spreads load pressure evenly instead of concentrating it
  • Available in a range of sizes for different gap widths
  • Reusable grades and single-use grades available
  • Far faster to fit than timber bracing

How we build it

The right bag size for the gap is what makes this work. An undersized bag does nothing and an oversized one bursts. We size against your actual load plan rather than selling one general size.

Send a load plan and photographs of a loaded container and we will size it.

Built to your specification

Every one of these can be changed for your application, and a sample is supplied for trial fitment before bulk production.
