Product Focus: Open Top Lifting Bags

Sep 23, 2025

When you need to move tools, materials, or equipment quickly and safely, the last thing you want is a lifting solution that slows you down. That’s precisely why we developed our OTLB (Open Top Lifting Bags) range- to provide unrestricted access to your contents while maintaining the strength and reliability you need.

Why open top design makes a difference

Traditional lifting bags often require you to work through narrow openings or completely remove the tops to access the contents. Our OTLB range eliminates these bottlenecks with a fully open top design that provides instant access to everything inside.

The open design also makes loading significantly easier. Instead of feeding materials through restricted openings, you can load directly from above, saving valuable time during setup. This is particularly useful when dealing with awkward shapes, long materials, or when multiple people need to access the bag simultaneously.

Despite the open design, these bags maintain complete structural integrity when lifted. The reinforced construction ensures that loads remain secure during transport, while the open top allows for easy visual confirmation of contents.

Built for real-world conditions

All of our Open Top Lifting Bags feature heavy-duty lifting slings, stainless steel lifting eyes, and a range of optional extras tailored to customer needs. 

The optional external tray provides protection to the base while helping to maintain the bag’s shape during use, assisting in even weight distribution and safer lifting operations. The tray also provides a stable base when the bag is placed on uneven surfaces.

There’s also the option to have an internal tray, a window pocket, a bespoke label or a customer logo added to the bag. 

We understand that organisation and identification matter on busy sites. That’s why our OTLB range comes in multiple colours, allowing you to create your own coding system. Different trades, different materials, or different priority levels can each have their own colour, making it easier for teams to identify the right bag quickly.

Safety without compromise

An open-top design doesn’t mean compromising on safety. Our OTLB range undergoes the same rigorous testing as all Pinpoint lifting solutions. Each bag is rated for specific safe working loads and includes clear capacity markings to prevent overloading.

The wide opening actually enhances safety in many applications by providing better visibility of contents and load distribution. Users can see exactly what they’re lifting and ensure proper balance before beginning the lift.

The Pinpoint difference

At Pinpoint Manufacturing, we don’t just make lifting bags – we solve lifting challenges. Our OTLB range represents our approach to product development, focusing on real-world needs and practical solutions. We understand that the best lifting equipment is the kind that makes your job easier, not harder.
