How much weight can an air bag jack actually lift,and what factors influence its capacity?

The lifting capacity of an Air Bag Jack is substantial,typically ranging from 5 to over 70 tons for a single bag.However,this capacity is not a fixed number and is influenced by several key factors.The most important is the bag's pressure rating,measured in psi or bar.A higher pressure rating generally allows for a greater lifting force.The size of the contact area also matters;a larger bag inflated to the same pressure will lift more than a smaller one because force equals pressure multiplied by area(F=P*A).The height of the lift is another factor;maximum capacity is usually stated at the bag's minimum height,and capacity may decrease as the bag expands to its maximum height.Finally,the angle of lift and the surface conditions play a role.An uneven or angled lift can significantly reduce the effective safe working load.Always consult the manufacturer's specifications and load charts for the precise capacity under your specific operating conditions.
