Dunnage Container Airbags

What is a Dunnage Container Airbag?

Sunstream’s Dunnage container airbags, commonly referred to as a dunnage bag, are specifically designed to secure and stabilise cargo in containers, trucks, and ships. They provide a convenient and cost-effective way to ensure cargo stabilisation during both lateral and longitudinal movement and are significantly more effective than wood blocking and bracing. A dunnage bag is applied by inserting it into the void of a load, usually between two loads. An airbag inflator is then used to inflate the dunnage bag with compressed air. As it fills, the pressure pushes the load against the sidewalls of the trailer and locks the cargo in place. Most dunnage bags take only seconds to fill.

The type of Dunnage container bag required depends on a number of variables such as void size, cargo or load height, and shipping requirements. Dunnage container airbags are available in various sizes and materials, including Kraft or woven polypropylene.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF DUNNAGE AIRBAGS?

– Prevent load shifting, tumbling and abrasions, thus reducing product damages.

– Reduce labor cost and loading time compared to traditional wood blocking and bracing.

– Reusable and Recyclable airbags are environmentally friendly.

– Maximizes the use of container space, which will allow more product to ship.

– Easy removal/disposal at the receiving point ensures operational efficiency.
