Air bag rotator class in Indiana

this is Howie "scooby" Eagan, he was the main air bag instructor. the class Was devided into two days and he was the instructor for the first day- air bag / rescue day. The class was held by Davis Towing in Rushville Indiana.  


We were honered to have Fred noble, one of the origional creators of the air bag, as an instructor.

the new air bag. These air bags, compressor, valve bank ect are the newest set to come into this country. Not only that, but they are the very first of its new design. They have done away with the crappy design where you twist / couple the hoses together, these slide on and lock together with the easy latches- 100 times better than the old design- it sucked. And these new bags have 1 inch hoses and fittings on the whole system, the old systems only offered � inch, this means these will fill the bags 70% faster (or so I am told)- the best part of these new bags, that have never been used before the class, and we took them home with us, We (Lin-Mar) has the newest, best and only set of these type of airbags in the country!!!! Cool!!!

I almost forgot, the new air valve bank, can be adjusted in height so no more squatting! And the valve gages have been set at an angle for easier reading.

This was well worth it, we were given the opportunity to see what the FD has to do. These tools are very cool, and they get very heavy fast, but man, they are powerful!

they showed us how to use matjacks to lift the trailer to set in starters and then the main bags.
