Balancers

When conducting repetitive high-cycle jobs, balancers are a time and money-saving tool support device. They’re a low-cost and easy-to-use alternative to physical lifting. To provide a zero-gravity movement of equipment or materials, balancers use either springs or pneumatic air systems. When used in conjunction with jibs and workstation cranes, balancers efficiently handle all types of tools and parts at high speeds. Air balancers have a capacity range of 50 to 2000 pounds (22 to 909 kg). Mechanical spring balancers are suited for applications in which a fixed weight travels a limited vertical distance.

Air Balancers

Air Balancers are designed to assist in ergonomically transferring loads, up, down or balance “float” products safely and efficiently. Ideal for repetitive, high cycle tasks, Air Balancers are a cost-effective solution that will significantly increase production within your facility by leveraging a zero gravity movement of tools or materials.

Features such as the load float, allow users the ability to slowly and precisely place parts/materials into position. This is an ideal ergonomic solution for repetitive, high cycle tasks or precise “slower” applications.

Mechanical (Spring) Balancer

Mechanical (Spring) Balancer

Liftsafe Engineering offers gravity free mechanical spring balancers designed for intermediate and heavy-duty material handling applications. Tool balancers, load balancers, and spring balancers are the ideal tools to balance a constant load. These balancers permit fatigue-free working, even over prolonged periods of time.

Precise, strain-free positioning allows an operator to hands-free raise, lower, or shift heavy loads with virtually no resistance.
Built-in safety features include overload protection and cable recoil breaks.
Hook mount systems can be suspended with ease on a fixed system such as a jib crane or workstation crane.
Rapid ROI through increased productivity.
Reduced product damage.
Reduce the possibility of operator injury.
Enhances job performance.
Eliminates potential regulatory fines for unsafe work.

Hierarchy of ergonomics

Elimination

Where possible, it is always best to eliminate any possible hazards.

Engineering Controls

The goal of engineering controls is to improve the fit between the demands of work tasks and the capabilities of your workers safely.

Administrative controls

Administrative improvements, such as job rotation or alternating, can help reduce workers’ exposures to risk factors by limiting the amount of time workers spend on “problem jobs”.

Training

Training alone does not provide an ergonomic improvement. Instead, it should be used together with any workplace changes made. Workers need training and hands-on practice with new tools, equipment, or work practices to make sure they have the skills necessary to work safely.
