Dunnage Bag Application Information

Determining the correct size of dunnage bags is as easy at 1-2-3!

1. Measure the void between cargo
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the top of the load
3. Measure the length of the pallets (or whatever items you're trying to restrain)

The maximum void recommended for dunnage air bags is:

" 8" void -- 24" wide air bag
" 10" void -- 30" wide air bag
" 12" void -- 36" wide air bag
" 15" void -- 48" wide air bag
" 20" void -- 60" wide air bag

If the measured void exceeds the recommended size above, it is suggested to use some additional void filler products, such as corrugated or old pallets. It is required to place some type of smooth surface product, such as corrugated, on both sides of the airbag to maintain its integrity and to protect it from rough edges of pallets, crates, or anything else sharp. Talk to one of our experts to determine the best solution for you!

Dunnage bags are easy to install! The only equipment needed to inflate air bags is:

" Air Compressor forced air
" Air gauge
" Inflator tool
" Air chucks relevant to the speed of fill

The following is a guideline of recommended ply of airbag needed:

" Truck shipment-use 2 ply air bags
" Overseas shipment-use 4 ply air bags
" Rail shipments-use 4, 6, or 8 ply air bags

The following is a guideline of pounds restrained per airbag ply type:

" 2 ply restrains 40,000 pounds
" 4 ply restrains 60,000 pounds
" 6 ply restrains 100,000 pounds
" 8 ply restrains 120,000 pounds
