Nederman Balancers are primarily used for supporting and lifting exhaust hoses for exhaust rails and other vehicle exhaust extraction systems. The hose is supported by the Balancer and is automatically hoisted up when not in use, therefore keeping floors clear. Hoist length: 8m. The balancer is of the open reel type and is supplied with 8 metres of cord. The Balancer has both a centrifugal brake and reversed spring. The centrifugal brake is engaged as the cord is retracting and ensures the cord is retracted at a constant pace and therefore the risk of damage to equipment and vehicles is greatly reduced. The reversed spring characteristic means that the spring tension is greatest near the point of full retraction and is gradually reduced with greater length of unwound cord. This means that the power of the lift is maximised when it is needed most. As option a limit switch is available for automatic start/stop of fan. • Makes the hose easier to handle • Reduces wearing of hose and nozzle • Safe balancer operation • Exceptional hoist length
