Re: Carter Lift Bag Review

I've used all types of Carter bags for over 30 years. This ranges from little 15 pound marker floats in coated nylon to large commercial lift bags rated for well over a ton each. They have always stood behind their products 100%, within the limitations of the material. The really light weight "personal float" bags have an expected material life of about 10 years with reasonable care before the lining starts to separate. The heavyweight commercial bags will do double that if shielded from UV in storage.

They also do custom designed bags, not necessarily used for lifting things underwater. For a short while the custom bags they were building as an OEM for my company made us the largest distributor they had. They have always made good products and shipped on time even when that was "difficult" in the oriental usage of the word.
