SPRINGFIELD, OH | Konecranes offers the AirBalancer, a lifting device with a floating load unit, that aids in the picking, lifting, moving, and precise placement of items by hand. Relies solely on air pressure as its energy source, so there is no electricity required and item being lifted reportedly can feel practically weightless to the person lifting it. Said to combine improved productivity with low acquisition, operating, and maintenance costs as an alternative to traditional hoists.

Features include full balancing control through automatic load sensing, load weight compensation, ergonomic design, enhanced safety features, a fully enclosed control logic, and a top speed of 393 fpm.
