DURABILITY & RELIABLE

Rapid inflation, robust in performance​

Our robust inflator features a built-in indicator that is quick and easy to read with no external gauges or workings, reducing the risk of damage.

It offers fast, efficient and controlled inflation of our Heavy Duty Dunnage Bags but can be easily adapted for use with a variety of dunnage bags. The flexible hose allows the user to access air bags that are difficult to reach positions and comes supplied with a quick release coupling allowing for a direct connection when required.

The Checkmate Inflation Tool is supplied in a robust plastic waterproof case, keeping it protected during transport.

More details

How does the Checkmate Inflation Tool work?
  • The Inflation Tool is attached to the system air hose at the end of the knurled handle. The connection on the handle is a male Rectus Series 25.
  • The connection at the end of the flexible hose is also a male Rectus Series 25 and is connected to the dunnage bag at the corner valve.
  • The Inflation Tool is operated by squeezing the trigger towards the handle. When the trigger is released, the indicator window can be observed.
  • When the indicator is showing silver, this indicates that the internal pressure of the dunnage bag is under 5 p.s.i.
  • When the indicator is fully green, this indicates that the internal pressure of the dunnage bag is between 5 and 6 p.s.i. This is the optimum pressure for a Checkmate Dunnage Bag.
The pressure of a dunnage bag can be checked by attaching the Inflation Tool to it and briefly squeezing the trigger. A silver indicator showing after the green indicator means the pressure is higher than optimum level. Pressure can be relieved by undoing the corner valve vent on the dunnage bag then re-tightening. The pressure can then be rechecked by briefly squeezing the trigger.
