Achieve Ergonomics and Safety
In 5 easy steps
Measure the total weight of the tool (including hoses, fluids etc.) to find the weight of the load.
Choose the balancer or retractor that will position the total weight of the load at the midrange of published weight capacity.
Use a safety chain or a safety cable to secure the balancer or retractor to a separate trolley on runways.
Adjust tension on the balancer or retractor using the external adjustment mechanism until the tool becomes weightless in operator’s hand.
Monitor integrity of main cables and secondary supports on a daily basis.
