Working in an assembly or manufacturing plant can be tiring for workers, from using heavy materials to long hours on your feet, any form of relief is beneficial. Spring balancers are used in manufacturing and assembly plants to counterbalance heavy hand-held loads such as rivet guns, spot welders, nut runners, drills, hoses, etc. Spring balancers give the effect that the load has zero-gravity by minimizing the weight of the load for the operator. The worker does not need to apply much force while using heavy tools, since the suspended load becomes nearly weightless in their hands. Packers Kromer takes balancer performance and value to a whole new level. With most manufacturers, balancers are a secondary product. At Packers Kromer, balancers are our core product, with unique benefits worth the investment.
