What Are Pneumatic Rope Balancers?
Pneumatic rope balancers are a lightweight articulated crane arm which can raise, and lower lifting attachments or grippers suspended from wire ropes. They are manually operated, allowing smooth, precise actions for lifting and manoeuvring products, creating optimal control of the load.
Pneumatic rope balancers can handle loads of different weights using ergonomic controls for lifting and lowering in a smooth and controlled manner. The suspended wire rope allows the lifting attachment to be moved into hard to access areas, as well as providing a ‘weightless’ experience for the machine operator. This is ideal when transporting large, unpredictable loads like the paper & flexibles industry.
Pneumatic rope balancers have a wide range of applications across all industries and can be supplied as lift-only device or as part of a turnkey solution with a bespoke gripper to allow rotation and more complex manoeuvres.

Why Are Pneumatic Rope Balancers Used?
Pneumatic rope balancers are used to lift and transport loads in industrial environments. They are especially helpful when used in industrial manufacturing to move materials quickly and frequently on the production line for assembling mechanical parts and loading & unloading tool machines.
A pneumatic rope balancer’s ability to lift and manoeuvre loads into spaces that are not easily accessible makes them great for improving efficiency on assembly lines. Combined with lifting accessories like bespoke grippers, they further improve manual handling for workers, reducing the risk of workplace incidents.
The Benefits Of Using Pneumatic Rope Balancers
The weightless or floating experience of pneumatic rope balancers makes them a standout piece of material handling equipment. They can benefit your workers and business and can help in various ways:
- Lifting something too heavy for a person to handle manually.
- Raising an item to a location that is not easily accessible for the person.
- Reducing the risk of Musculoskeletal injuries and repetitive strain injury through incorrect manual handling.
- Avoid employee fatigue.
- Improving the efficiency of the production line.
- Reducing the risk of workplace accidents and damage to products
Handling Concepts' Pneumatic Rope Balancer Solution
This pneumatic rope balancer solution can lift loads of up to 50kg. The machine lifted a range of circular tube products with the goal of unloading them vertically from a pallet and then manipulating them horizontally onto the production line.
This goal was achieved by providing a full turnkey solution, supplying the pneumatic rope balancer with a bespoke gripper attachment for gripping, lifting, moving and rotating various product sizes for the customer.
The pneumatic rope balancer removes the need for workers to both manually lift and manoeuvre objects on the production line, improving worker efficiency and reducing the risk of workplace injuries.
