Deschamps - Heavy Duty Lifting Airbags for safe aircraft lifting with inflatable cushions.

DARC Base is a unique concept on the market of inflatable cribbing. This system enables fast and easy lifting of a wide-body aircraft in adverse conditions. Wide-bodies usually have a higher clearance than regular planes that requires the use of a cribbing to increase the lifting height of regular Airbags usually reaching 10’ height.

The DARC Base is the only inflatable cribbing on the market and the assets of an inflatable cribbing are countless. First of all, the DARC Base is fully compatible with all regular bags available on the market (up to 60 tons). During the installation, the regular bags can be placed on the flat and deflated Base which avoids the use of a forklift to stake the bags on top of the cribbing. When the bags are being inflated, it is still possible to drag the DARC Base back and forth to place it under the exact desired location.

The DARC Base also avoid the use of handling material since it can easily be carried and stored by hand unless wooden beams that requires forklift to carry the bulky and heavy material.

As to safety, the DARC Base is far safer than regular cribbing since it prevents the bags from being punctured by broken beams. Moreover, the DARC Base guarantees optimum stability. The DARC Base is recognized by the most experienced recovery teams to be the ultimate solution to raise large aircraft.
