Fabric Jack
Special fabric
Fabric Jack is a road rescue product produced with the Distance Fabric (DIFA) air-jet loom. The loom is used to manufacture large-spaced fabrics to produce non-equal-height vertical interweaving 2.5D structures. The pitch of the DIFA loom can vary from 120mm to 500mm. Fabric Jack utilizes DIFA's patented 2.5D structure. An electric vehicle's charging pipe is used to inflate the jack. When inflated, the fabric's 2.5D structure provides strong and multi-point support. When deflated, the Fabric Jack is foldable and can be conveniently placed in the trunk of a vehicle.
