Tool balancer for 5–10 lb loads
The Reelcraft TBL 10 suspends tools weighing 5.00 to 10.00 lb from an overhead shackle. An 8 ft zinc-plated steel cable pays out and retracts smoothly. A ratchet lock holds the tool at the working height you choose. The steel housing and spring clip attachment suit assembly lines, maintenance bays and bench stations.
Replaces fixed lanyards and manual hoists
Fixed lanyards force the operator to bend or stretch; this balancer keeps the tool at the chosen level. The upgrade is worth it when a tool is picked up repeatedly during a shift and weighs between 5.00 and 10.00 lb. It is not for tools lighter than 5.00 lb or heavier than 10.00 lb, nor for applications that require shock absorption or a spring-fail safety mechanism.
Shackle mount and cable stop simplify setup
Hook the suspension shackle to an approved overhead point, attach the tool to the spring clip, and set the cable stop to limit travel. The ratchet engages automatically; pull the tool down to release. Common issues: mounting to an unrated beam, exceeding the 10.00 lb maximum, or omitting the cable stop so the tool contacts the housing at full retraction.

Questions about this item
What type of mount does the suspension shackle on this balancer require?
The suspension shackle attaches to an overhead beam or trolley capable of holding the tool weight between 5 and 10 lb.
Which step is often missed when installing the ratchet locking mechanism?
Engage the ratchet lock only after the cable is extended to the working length; locking too early prevents proper tension.
When should the zinc plated steel cable be replaced?
Replace the cable if fraying, kinks, or corrosion appear, or if the spring clip no longer holds the tool securely.
