What is the primary risk associated with using pneumatic lifting bags?

The primary risk associated with using pneumatic lifting bags is over-inflation. This occurs when the bags are inflated beyond their specified capacity, which can lead to bag rupture or loss of control during lifting. Over-inflation can also result in an unstable lifting environment, potentially causing the lifted object to shift or fall, posing a danger to rescue personnel and bystanders.

Pneumatic lifting bags are designed to operate effectively within a certain pressure range, and exceeding this pressure can compromise their integrity. Proper training and adherence to manufacturers' guidelines on pressure limits are essential to mitigate this risk, ensuring that the lifting operation remains safe and effective. Understanding and monitoring the inflation levels is crucial for maintaining control and achieving the intended outcome without accidents or injuries.
