Who Says Inflatable Items Belong Only in the Pool?

The hardest part about moving farming equipment, tools, and other items on the farm is the initial lift off from the ground. The traditional wedge has been the go-to solution to solving problems like this; however, there is a new alternative that might just take its place. 

The Trend Inflatable Wedge from Trend Tool Technology makes lifting heavy-duty loads easier and safer. It can lift and support up to 300 lbs. (175 kg). Unlike the traditional wedge that has fixed dimensions, an inflatable air wedge has a large expansion range of up to 2 inches when lifting or moving loads and can slide into gaps as narrow as 5/6 inches. It is easy to operate and can be inflated by one of two ways: hand or foot. 

To maintain the pressure within the wedge, there are safety valves and fiber-reinforced high-frequency welds. These features not only maintain the pressure within the Trend Inflatable Wedge but also allow control over the release when deflating and prevent leakage during use. 

The phrase 'the more, the merrier' fits well here, as using multiple wedges can boost lifting support. Made from durable, fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane, the Trend Inflatable Wedges are designed to withstand rips and tears. 

If you need an extra set of hands for lifting heavy loads, the inflatable air wedge might be the tool you are looking for. 

While the inflatable air wedge video below demonstrates several door hanging, window, and cabinetry examples, farmers can easily use their imagination to put the inflatable air wedge to clever use on the farm.
