Dobco carries Zimmerman balancers by Ingersoll Rand.

Ingersoll Rand (IR) has nearly 150 years of experience to back up its reputation for world-class construction tools, and Dobco Equipment is pleased to supply these products in Canada. The inventory includes Zimmerman ergonomic balancers, with three categories available: pneumatic balancers, intelligent lifting systems, and mechanical spring balancers.

IR’s Zimmerman balancers provide a safer, more comfortable means of lifting and handling very heavy material, keeping workers healthy and productive.

Leaving users’ hands free

Zimmerman pneumatic balancers have many best-in-class features that make them the perfect option for lifting extremely heavy items, up to 2,000 pounds. With their precise, strain-free positioning, these balancers leave users’ hands free so they can raise, lower, or shift loads with almost no resistance. Pneumatic balancers also offer users easy access to airflow-calibration controls, allowing for simple float adjustment. The built-in overload protection ensures that the lifted load never exceeds the unit’s maximum rated capacity, which boosts worker safety. Another key benefit is the centrifugal brake that automatically halts quick upward cable travel when a load is inadvertently lost.

IR’s lineup of Zimmerman intelligent lifting systems includes the InteLIFT balancer series. These balancers convert intuitive user input into smooth, effortless vertical motion. One major advantage is the force-sensing control handle, which responds to operator input quickly and seamlessly for precise positioning of loads of up to 1,000 pounds. InteLIFT offers three different speeds, which suit different applications and user comfort levels.

The third type of Zimmerman balancers available from Dobco is a line of mechanical spring balancers – with 50 models in five different series, making it easy to select one model for any specific application. These devices can lift as much as 363 pounds from five to nine feet high. Each mechanical spring balancer has easy-to-use controls for accurate spring adjustment, and users can move the intermediate, heavy, and super-duty versions with minimal effort due to the “gravity-free” effect. These balancers also have safety locking devices that stop them from dropping if their springs fail.

For the peak of pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic industrial tools, IR is the name to trust.
