Buitink TechnologyBuitink Technology developed mobile, light weight salvage lift bags for boats and catamarans.
An inflatable lifting bag or tube is used for boats and catamarans to be lifted out of the water on any location. It enables direct maintenance and parts replacement at location. Often when a boat needs to be repaired no harbor with a boat lift is available nearby.
Five tube sizes cover catamarans from 18 to 42 feet. A complete set consists of two tubes, a manifold and a 230V pump; the lifting capacity depends on the immersion depth.

We supply worldwide
The lifting system of Buitink Technology can be applied anywhere on the water to lift a (part of a) boat or catamaran out of the water.
Used for both boat and catamaran
Buitink Technology's inflatable elevator system is also designed so that the tubes can be used for both a boat and catamaran. So when you decide to purchase two tubes (with straps to connect them), you can use them to elevator both a boat and two individual catamarans out of the water.
Certification & quality
IMCA D-016 — designed and built to the same engineering principles as IMCA D-016: safety factor ≥ 5:1 on the working load limit, lifting slings ≥ 7:1. Every bag carries a unique serial number and ships with a test certificate and manual.
CE-marked slings — the lifting slings comply with EN 1492-1. No harmonised EU standard exists for underwater lift bags themselves; the industry therefore works to IMCA D-016. That guidance covers open parachute type bags and excludes totally enclosed bags from its scope; we build and inspect these bags to the same principles.
Tested per unit — pressure test, functional test of the overpressure valves and a 24-hour airtightness test before dispatch.
ISO 9001 — certified manufacturer; all production in-house in Duiven, the Netherlands. EU origin: no import duties within the EU.
