It is a combination of a low-maintenance, low-air-consumption balancer with electronic controls that boost balancing ability. Major features of this essential kit from Dobco include the following:

• Ability to balance every load without any adjustment
• Balancing mode that enables exact positioning with little effort, using only one’s hands
• Compatibility with any new or existing IR air balancer with a capacity ranging from 150 to 500 pounds
• Ergonomic slide handle that allows precise positioning of multiple loads as it maintains a controlled speed
• Intuitive operation without any specific training necessary

The kit increases flexibility with its capabilities of integrating controls with an ergonomic lift assist, with three available programmable inputs/outputs. Optimal maneuverability is possible with the handle or directly on the load after it has been lifted and stabilized. The user can modify the control box software for specific lifting tasks, which allow optional integration.
