The Essential Guide to Dunnage Airbags for Cargo Securement

At SecurePack Solution, we provide comprehensive cargo securement resources designed specifically for businesses across North America. In this guide, we explore the critical role of dunnage airbags in safeguarding cargo during transit highlighting how they effectively prevent load shifting and reduce the risk of damage.

What Are Dunnage Airbags?

Dunnage airbags are powerful tools used to brace cargo, fill voids, and absorb shocks during transportation. They protect goods from in-transit damage caused by shifting, sliding, or collisions with container walls or other items.

Constructed with a durable polywoven outer shell and a co-extruded polyethylene inner layer, these airbags also feature a reusable spring-loaded valve for easy inflation and deflation. They are designed for quick deployment using compressed air and come in a variety of sizes to match specific cargo needs.

Correct sizing and placement are essential to ensure load stability and maximum protection, making dunnage airbags an efficient, cost-effective solution for cargo integrity.

How Do Dunnage Airbags Work?

Effective freight loading depends on one key principle: tight, secure loading both lengthwise and crosswise. Dunnage airbags support this by filling in the gaps between cargo, regardless of shape or space configuration.

Their high elasticity allows them to conform to irregular spaces, and when placed strategically, they provide cushioning that absorbs impact shocks from sudden stops or movement during transit whether by truck, rail, or sea. This minimizes the risk of goods shifting or being damaged, keeping your shipment secure from origin to destination.

Key Benefits of Using Dunnage Airbags

• Fast inflation saves labor time
• Quick deflation with no need to cut or destroy the bag
• Burst-resistant design ensures safety
• Controlled inflation avoids over- or under-filling
• Reusable for multiple trips, lowering cost per use
• Locks and stabilizes all types of cargo
• Reduces product damage and losses
• Decreases return rates due to damaged goods
