If you would like to improve safety, reduce fatigue, and increase efficiency on your shop floor with our trusted range of Spring Tool Balancers. These devices are designed to counterbalance the weight of hand tools, allowing operators to move equipment smoothly along a vertical axis with minimal effort. Perfect for workshops, production lines, and industrial environments across the UK, spring balancers help reduce repetitive strain and improve tool control — especially for overhead or long-duration tasks.
We also offer online training for Spring Tool Balancers, giving your team the knowledge to operate safely and get the most from your setup.
Our best selling range includes Spring Balancers for tools up to 130kg, each designed with a tapered rope drum that maintains constant tension throughout the movement. For finer work requiring zero drag, our zero-gravity tool balancers deliver near weightless performance — essential for precision tools and extended shifts in demanding environments.
Spring Tool Balancers
Depending on how the spring is adjusted, the tool or object will either stay in place or retract when released. In models like the Yale spring balancer, a spiral groove on a tapered drum gradually increases the winding radius to match the torque build-up of the spring. This clever mechanism neutralises the load, creating a balanced state that allows for smooth, controlled vertical movement. The result is less strain on the operator and improved accuracy during use. By making the tool feel nearly weightless, users can focus on the task at hand without fighting the pull of gravity. These balancers are particularly valuable in repetitive or overhead work where reducing fatigue and maintaining safety are essential. They also help protect your tools by keeping them suspended securely when not in use.
