Mangar Airflo 24 Compressor: Heavy-Duty Power for Emergency Lifting
The Mangar Airflo 24 is a high-performance 24-volt air compressor engineered to power the Mangar Elk and Mangar Camel emergency lifting cushions. Designed for demanding institutional environments such as ambulance services, hospitals, and care homes, this unit delivers the substantial air pressure required to lift patients up to 980 lbs (with the Elk) or 700 lbs (with the Camel). Its robust output ensures a steady, controlled inflation, providing a safe and dignified recovery for fallen individuals, including bariatric patients.
Despite its power, the Airflo 24 maintains portability with an integral carry handle and a manageable weight of 9 lbs. It features a simple, intuitive interface with a clear battery status indicator, allowing emergency responders and caregivers to quickly assess readiness. The unit comes with a 4-way hand control that corresponds to the multi-stage inflation of the lifting cushions, giving the operator precise control over the lift process. The internal microprocessor not only optimizes charging for the 24V NiMH battery but also acts as a safety check, preventing lift operation if there is insufficient power to complete the cycle.

Product Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Is the Airflo 24 Compressor cross-compatible with Mangar bathing cushions, or is it restricted to specific lifting devices?
The Airflo 24 is engineered exclusively for the Mangar ELK and Camel emergency lifting cushions and is not compatible with the Airflo 12 range used for bathing products. This distinction is critical for fleet managers, as the 24-volt high-output architecture delivers the 4.5 PSI pressure required to lift heavy bariatric loads from the floor, a force significantly higher than what bathing cushions require. Attempting to interchange these compressors will result in equipment non-functionality. Procurement officers must segregate these units to ensure that emergency response vehicles are equipped with the correct high-torque power source.
-
What is the expected duty cycle per full charge for the ELK and Camel lifts in an emergency response scenario?
Operational data indicates that a fully charged Airflo 24 will perform approximately 3 full lifts with the ELK or 1 full lift with the Camel, depending on the patient's weight. This capacity is designed around the concept of "event-based" usage rather than continuous cycling, perfectly aligning with single-patient emergency calls. Because the Camel involves a more complex, multi-chamber inflation sequence for a supine patient, it draws more power per cycle. Crews should be trained to dock the unit for charging immediately after every deployment to maintain readiness.
-
How does the 24-volt system architecture impact lifting performance compared to standard 12-volt bathing compressors?
The 24-volt architecture provides the necessary pneumatic torque to inflate the lifting cushions steadily under heavy loads (up to 980 lbs for the ELK) without motor stall or hesitation. Unlike the 12-volt systems designed for buoyancy assistance in water, the Airflo 24 must generate sufficient ground reaction force to vertically lift a deadweight patient. This higher voltage ensures a consistent inflation rate across all four chambers, providing a stable and non-jerky rise that is essential for patient comfort and safety during a medical lift.
-
What is the rapid recovery protocol if the unit is depleted, and how does this affect vehicle turnaround time?
In high-tempo EMS environments, the Airflo 24 features a Charge Recovery capability that allows the unit to accumulate enough power for one additional lift after just 1.5 hours of charging. While a full charge cycle is recommended for maximum battery health, this rapid-recovery feature ensures that a depleted unit can be returned to service quickly during surge periods. This minimizes downtime and allows fleet managers to rotate equipment efficiently without requiring an excessive surplus of backup units.
-
What is the expected service life of the internal battery pack, and does the unit support field maintenance?
The internal 24V 2200 mAh battery is rated for greater than 500 full charging cycles, providing a robust service life that typically spans several years of standard operational use. The unit is backed by a 2-Year Limited Warranty, which secures the agency's investment against manufacturing defects. To maximize Return on Investment (ROI), agencies should implement a protocol where the compressor is kept on a trickle charge when not in use, as this preserves the chemical integrity of the cells and prevents deep discharge degradation.
