Rescue & Extrication: Powermats
Powermats: Sometimes you just need a better way to lift...
High-pressure, rounded, pillow-shaped lifting cushions for entrapment rescue and heavy lifting:
- Vehicle crash rescue
- Structural collapse rescue
- Earthquake rescue
- Low profile industrial lifting
- Agricultural lifting
- Rock or cliff scaling
- Cargo dunnage
The Powermat is a heavy duty, high pressure lifting cushion designed primarily for lifting vehicles and objects in emergency situations. The Powermat inflates rapidly offering an instant lift. Available in 13 standard sizes with maximum lifting capacities from 1 to 68 tons.
The most convenient source of air supply for inflation is a SCBA breathing air cylinder or SCUBA cylinder, alternatively a compressor, factory or industrial compressed air source or a truck air brake compressed air.
Due to its rapid response capability the Powermat is ideally suited to emergency rescue situations. It is an exceptionally versatile piece of equipment that also has applications in USAR, industry, mining, railroad construction/maintenance and the armed forces.

INFLATION HOSE:
- 3/8”ID All-weather neoprene rubber inflation hoses.
- *Black hose is approved for use in mines (MSHA approved).
- Choice of Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, or Red.
- Select colors according to standard controller color coding.
- Rubber hoses remain flexible from -40°F to +212°F (-40°C to 100°C).
- Nytrile rubber coating is naturally resistant to oil & fuel.
- All hoses come with proprietary safety couplers which are compatible with all EU air bags, controllers and associated accessories.
- Use adapters to convert air compressor, truck air, or other air source to EU safety couplers.
- Burst pressure, 1,000 PSI. - Hose Color Code Designation:
- Yellow = Supply hose
- Blue = Primary inflation distribution hose (for single controllers)
- Red = Secondary inflation distribution hose (for dual controllers)
- Green = Third inflation distribution hose (for triple controllers)
- Black = additional extension hose (MSHA approved for mine use). -
Console Controllers:
- Double 548275J
- Triple 548276J
- Quad 548277JConsole Controller: preferred for precise inflation and deflation control. All metal, variable control, console controllers are the most popular choice for first responders and rescue teams, recovery and vehicle (or structure) stabilization operations. The Deadman controller can accurately control one, two or three bags from a single regulated air source. Built-in safety relief valves prevent lifting bag over pressurization. Toggles are pressure sensitive; open a little for slight flow, open more for more flow. Couplers are color coded for use with colored hoses for easier identification during lifting.

76681J, Single-output pipe-fitting controller. Solid brass construction, glycerin-filled, stainless-steel gauge, polycarbonate bezel, over-pressure relief valve with relief valve. Industrial, nickel-plated air input, universal output coupler. This controller works well for industrial applications where environmental conditions such as extreme temperature gradients, corrosive liquids, acids and rough handling requires more robust equipment.
76682J, Double-output pipe-fitting controller. Control two bags independently from one air source. Solid brass construction, glycerin-filled, stainless-steel gauge, polycarbonate bezel, over-pressure relief valve, industrial, nickel-plated air input, universal output coupler. This controller works well for industrial applications where environmental conditions such as extreme temperature gradients, corrosive liquids, acids and rough handling requires more robust equipment.
