Air Balancer Rail Systems

Balancer Rail Systems Mounting Rails for Air Balancers - Zimmerman

Rails are available in three different materials and five different sizes to meet your specific material handling needs. The enclosed Rail Systems design reduces the accumulation of dirt and grime on the internal rolling surfaces, which reduces rolling effort. Combine rail systems with air balancers and end effectors to create a versatile, efficient material handling system.

Balancer Rail Systems Mounting Rails for Air Balancers - Zimmerman Hangers: We offer a wide variety of hangers to attach to virtually any type of overhead steel. Available in either rigid or pivoting styles, to match the material handling operation.

End Trucks: We offer both articulating and rigid end trucks, but primarily focus on articulating models. This feature maximizes the ability of the user to precisely position loads by allowing them to move only the portion of the bridge crane near the load.

Advanced Trolley Design: Trolleys are designed to work in conjunction with the enclosed track rail to reduce the rolling effort required to move a load. In fact, a force equal to only 1% of the total rolling weight is needed to move a load.
