Assembly Line Solutions


Assembly lines have come a long way since the days of "I Love Lucy." There are many products that improve work efficiency, including the use of spring balancers.


The advantage of using ENDO spring balancers on your assembly line are that they support heavy tools with cable tension equal to the weight of the suspended tools which makes them seem virtually “weightless”.  As the tool is repositioned, the balancer extends or retracts the support cable to follow the tool’s movements. Constant tension on the cable is accomplished with a spring motor and a tapered drum. The assembler has the flexibility to reposition the tool, while experiencing comfortable operation and less fatigue.

There are many types of spring balancers on the market including Long Stroke Balancers, designed for high ceiling applications, “ECO” Balancers, designed for the food industry, Clean Room Balancers, for use in industries of pharmaceuticals and electronics where there are environmentally sensitive components, Air Tool Balancers, and “Zero Gravity” Balancers.

Load capacity guidelines for using spring balancers are to use the size that is comparable to the upper end of the capacity range. For example, if lifting a total weight of 10.5 lbs, use a balancer that has capacities up to 11 lbs. versus one that has capacities of up to 19.8 lbs.

The solutions we deliver for your applications are based on your specific requirements. You can count on WiscoLift to find the perfect solution to meet your jobsite requirements. For more information, call our Sales Representative at 800-242-3477.
