FAQs
What is the maximum weight each Trend Air Wedge can support?
Each Trend Air Wedge has a high load capacity, safely lifting and supporting up to 135Kg.
What is the minimum gap required to insert the wedge?
The Trend Air Wedge can slide into gaps as narrow as 2 millimeters.
How much can the wedge expand?
The wedge has a large expansion range, expanding up to 50 millimeters.
What is the wedge made of?
It is constructed from durable, fibre-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane, which resists abrasion and is non-marring.
How is the wedge inflated?
The wedge is easy to operate and can be inflated by hand or foot pump.
Can I use more than one wedge at a time?
Yes, using two or more wedges can help secure frames and fixtures more effectively while they are permanently fixed in position.
Does the wedge have a safety feature for air pressure?
Yes, it features a safety valve to maintain pressure and allow controlled release. The valve position also prevents accidental air pressure release when using foot operation.
Troubleshooting
Wedge does not inflate
Ensure the pump is securely connected to the inflation valve. Check that the valve itself is not blocked. Verify the pump is functioning correctly.
Wedge loses air pressure slowly
Inspect the wedge for any punctures or damage. Ensure the inflation valve is fully closed and not damaged. Check connections to the pump for leaks.
Difficulty sliding wedge into tight gap
Ensure the wedge is fully deflated. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary (ensure it's compatible with the wedge material) to aid insertion. Work the gap slightly if possible.
Load capacity not met
Confirm that the load does not exceed the 135Kg limit per wedge. Ensure the wedge is positioned directly under the load point for maximum support. Use multiple wedges for heavier items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Trend Air Wedge requires no complex setup. Simply slide the deflated wedge into the desired gap.
Operation:
- Insert the wedge into the narrow gap (minimum 2mm).
- Connect a hand pump or foot pump to the inflation valve.
- Operate the pump to inflate the wedge, carefully controlling the pressure to achieve the desired lift or position.
- Use the release valve to deflate the wedge slowly and precisely when no longer needed.
Compatibility:
Compatible with standard hand or foot air pumps that fit the inflation valve. The wedge is suitable for use with a wide range of materials including wood, metal, glass, and plastic, as it is non-marring.
Care:
- Clean the wedge with a damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Store the wedge in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspect the wedge regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
- Ensure the valve is clear of debris before and after each use.
