How do I select the correct spring balancer capacity?

Choose a balancer rated for the exact weight of your tool/load. Never exceed rated capacity. We recommend selecting a model with a weight range where your tool falls in the middle of the capacity range.

Regular maintenance includes:

  • Daily visual inspection
  • Weekly cable inspection
  • Monthly tension check

Can spring balancers be used outdoors?

While possible, we recommend indoor use or protected environments. For outdoor applications, special considerations for:
