ResQ Tek NT Airbags

[FFJohn]

Our department is currently looking into high pressure airbags, and part of that research includes the NT Airbags. They are more expensive, but can people pass on their experiences with these airbags, if they have any? Are they really as good as they seem> Are there any disadvantages to having the NT Airbag system?
Thanks for your help

Yes, they are expensive. They are also incredibly powerful and versatile. You need to have a demo at your station to really appreciate it. If possible, do a side by side with flat bags. They still have their place by the way, id like to get a couple of the smaller ones for places the NT bags can't fit. The NT bags are about 1/2 thicker at the load plate. You can do an edge lift at reduced pressure, that will get you into tight spots too.

John,
NT bags are an excellent choice-they offer the advantage of the combination of the characterics of high & low psi bag types and they add into the mix the load plate & rigging point. The flexibility of the bags are incredible!

Be safe,
