Take the weight out of the job.
Choose the environment and load family first. Each product page then narrows the selection to the exact rated load range, stroke and configuration instead of forcing you through hundreds of model numbers.

How to select a balancer
- Weigh the complete suspended load.
- Choose a product family whose rated-load coverage includes that weight.
- Select the exact minimum–maximum load range.
- Confirm stroke/travel and configuration.
- Confirm the environment: standard, washdown, ESD, ATEX-family or outdoor/cold-weather.
