Unfortunately the Yale YBH range or Spring Balancers are no longer available. Please view our full range of Tool Spring Balancers for a suitable alternative.

Capacities: 85 - 300kgs

We offer the Yale YBH wide range of spring balancers with capacities from 85 to 300kgs. These are heavy duty tool balancers that provide a built in spring failure device and overload protection, designed for the most demanding applications. The Yale YBH range are available with a 1.5mtr cable lengths for capacities up to 300kgs and a 3mtr long cables up to 160kgs capacity

Tool balancers / Spring balancers allow the worker to move the suspended tool or object up or down with very little effort. Depending on the spring adjustment, the object will remain in position or retract when no force is applied (let go of). Set the tool balancer to the same weight as the tool and the weight will be balanced; add a little more tension to the spring and the load will retract when you let go, the more tension applied the quicker it will retract and therefore the more effort will be required by the user to pull down the tool when next required. Simple to set-up, adjust and to use, increases productivity and reduced fatigue and the risk / potential if injury.

With a spiral groove on a tapered drum, the winding radius is increased to match the torque build-up of the spring, thus neutralising it and achieving a balanced condition. This is the main difference between spring balancers and retractors.

Retractors are designed to retract the cable when no force is applied. An amount of downward force must be continually applied to keep the suspended object at its extended position. The torque output of the rewind spring increases as the cable is extended, and retracting the suspended object to the uppermost adjusted position when released.
