KROMER GmbH - Spring Balancers Made in Germany

Spring Balancers, Zero-Gravity Balancers and Positioners
KROMER develops and manufactures solutions for the ergonomic handling of tools and loads in production and assembly. Retractors keep tools within reach and the workplace organised, balancers neutralise the weight of tools and loads for precise, fatigue-free work, and positioners hold tools and supply lines at the working height you set. KROMER products are made in Germany and used across assembly lines, welding lines, meat processing, ergonomic workstations and OEM applications.
