Packhouse equipment Spring Balancer

This standard type spring balancer can be used for a wide variety of applications in suspending tools and equipment vertically. The balancer features an easy to adjust ratchet type spring tensioner, for the easy suspension and storage of hand tools – and it is an essential piece of equipment for prevention of operator fatigue and to reduce risks associated wqith repetitive stress injuries, while increasing productivity. The balancer is housed in a steel casing – for longevity and strength in harsh environments. Capacity – 5-7kg Travel distance – 1.5m Wire rope – 3mmØ Benefits: Reduced worker fatigue, as the balance removes nearly all the weight from the handheld sticher whilst operating Prevents mechanical damage from dropped tools and bag stitchers Prevents misplacement of tools and bag stitchers, as it is in a fixed location Ensures stable tool and stitcher positioning – enabling more accurate work Working principle The balancer has a spring loaded wheel, with a tapered drum – allowing for variable spring torque when lifting or pulling down the tool or stitcher. The tool is fastened with a detachable hook to a roof rafter, or overhead support, and the wire rope with the clasp is lowered down and the tool or stitcher is hooked onto the balancer. The tension of the balancer can be set – to the specific weight of the tool to ensure best performance for any tool hooked to the balancer.
