An Overview of Balancers
Unlike a hoist, and at the entry level of an industrial manipulator, a balancer can render the material being handled weightless. Making it effortless for the operator to control the materials lifting and lowering travel. When a balancer is attached to a standard jib crane, articulating jib crane or work station crane this can create a simple but dynamic load control platform, promoting increased productivity, while minimizing operator fatigue.
This combination has seen a dramatic uptick in the proportion of balancers deployed throughout industry in the past decade.
