The Ingersoll Rand Tool Balancer is a pneumatic or spring-assisted load balancing device rated at 200 lb capacity, equipped with the ZRS2 suspension system and an up/down pendant control, engineered for use in industrial assembly, manufacturing, and maintenance environments where heavy tools, fixtures, or components must be suspended, positioned, and moved with minimal operator effort. At 200 lb capacity, this balancer is suited for handling heavier tools and assemblies such as large pneumatic or electric power tools, torque tools, grinders, drills, and other heavy production tooling that would cause significant operator fatigue if held unsupported for extended periods.
The balancer suspends the load in a state of near-weightlessness within its rated capacity range, allowing the operator to guide and position the tool or component with minimal physical effort while the balancer absorbs the weight of the load. This reduces operator fatigue, improves ergonomics, and increases productivity in repetitive assembly and production operations where the same tool or component must be handled repeatedly throughout the workday.
The ZRS2 suspension system provides the mounting and suspension interface between the balancer and the overhead support structure — such as a crane runway, monorail, jib crane, or work station crane system — allowing the balancer to travel along the support structure and follow the operator's movement through the work area. The up/down pendant control allows the operator to raise and lower the suspended load using powered control rather than manual cable pulling, providing precise and effortless vertical positioning of the tool or component at the required working height. This pendant control capability is particularly valuable for heavy loads at the upper end of the balancer's capacity range where manual cable operation would require significant physical effort.
As an Ingersoll Rand product, this balancer is built to the engineering and quality standards associated with the Ingersoll Rand line of industrial tool balancers and material handling equipment, and should be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with Ingersoll Rand's specifications and applicable material handling equipment safety standards.

Uses: Suspension and ergonomic handling of heavy tools and assemblies up to 200 lb in assembly and production environments Reduction of operator fatigue in repetitive heavy tool handling operations Precise vertical positioning of heavy tools and components via up/down pendant control Integration into overhead crane and monorail systems via ZRS2 suspension for tool travel along the work area
Key Features: 200 lb rated capacity for heavy tool and assembly handling ZRS2 suspension system for integration with overhead support structures and tool travel Up/down pendant control for powered, precise vertical positioning of the suspended load Reduces operator fatigue and improves ergonomics in repetitive heavy tool handling Built to Ingersoll Rand's industrial tool balancer engineering and quality standards
Note: The overhead support structure must be rated to carry the combined weight of the balancer, ZRS2 suspension system, and the maximum suspended load. Specifications including balancing range, cable travel, ZRS2 suspension compatibility with specific support structure beam sizes, pendant control power requirements, and applicable standards compliance should be confirmed against the official Ingersoll Rand product documentation prior to ordering. Installation must be performed in accordance with Ingersoll Rand's installation instructions and applicable material handling equipment safety standards.
