Aero-Motive Balancers Torque Arms & Support Systems

It’s a simple fact. If you make a job easier to do, you can do it longer. Better. Faster. In short, you can increase productivity. If you do that, you can increase a lot of other things. Like safety. Turnaround times. Tool life. And profits.

Increasing efficiency without sacrificing safety. With Aero-Motive balancers and support systems, tools are suspended and kept out of the way but easily accessible when required. The result is increased productivity and decreased worker fatigue and injury-particularly from cumulative trauma disorders (CTD). Linked to the repetitive lifting and operation of lightweight tools, CTD typically affects the wrists, arms, elbows, neck and lower back. Tool damage is reduced with Aero-Motive balancer products, because tool contact with the floor is prevented, and cords and hoses can be kept away from the work space, where they might be cut, frayed or damaged.

One source for all your needs. Aero-Motive can help you set up plantwide systems to increase your productivity. Or, if you prefer to start small, we can help you become more productive one workstation at a time. Along with a complete line of premium-quality balancers, positioners, retractors, torque arms and support systems, we offer a full spectrum of value-added support services that make Aero-Motive your most trusted resource.

Lasting performance, lasting value. Aero-Motive balancers, torque arms and support systems are built tough to meet or exceed strict ISO 9001 standards, and they perform better and last longer than virtually any other similar products on the market. In fact, it’s not uncommon for Aero-Motive balancers to be in operation for a quarter of a century or longer.

Aro Balancers

ARO Balancers are ideal for improving both the ergonomics and the productivity of a particular work area. They position tools within easy reach and take the weight of the equipment out of the operator’s hands, minimizing unnecessary actions and strain/fatigue. Equipment life is also extended by reducing tool wear and damage due to mishandling. Typical applications for ARO 2 to 15 lb. capacity balancers include electric and pneumatic power tools, strapping and staple guns, meat processing saws, portable rivet guns, and air/water host suspension.
