Vetter Mini Lifting Bags 8 bar — rectangular pneumatic rescue bags for vehicle extrication worldwide
Vehicle Extrication

Mini Lifting Bags — 8 bar

The proven standard worldwide — reliable, versatile, trusted by fire services on every continent.

Vetter mini lifting bags have earned their place as the global benchmark for vehicle extrication. Their low insertion height allows access to the narrowest gaps, while the rectangular shape reaches deep into confined openings. Use them to lift, push, press, prise or split — safely and reliably even on difficult inclines. Anti-slip surface profile performs on sand, grass and wet surfaces. Special safety coupling prevents hose disengagement under load.
