In August, global electric vehicle (EV) sales increased by 60% over the previous year, topping the charts as the highest off-peak EV sales month on record. As EV sales grow around the world, more and more EV charging stations are set to service more and more users. While financially beneficial in many ways, higher numbers of EV chargers come with multiple risks for providers and users—including electrical shocks and tripping hazards.
TECNA balancers offer a safe organizational solution for managing EV charging cables across expanding stations. Keep reading as we lay out the best balancer options for keeping your EV chargers safe, user-friendly, and organized.
What does a TECNA balancer do at an EV charging station?
TECNA balancers and retractors suspend EV charging cables, keeping them off the ground while still easily accessible by users. Tool balancers as a whole are suspension mechanisms that handle and organize repetitive-use tools, such as a charging cable in a busy EV station. By securing the charging cable to a retractable line, TECNA balancers maintain electrical line integrity and significantly increase user accessibility and efficiency.
In keeping EV charging lines organized, balancers ensure that no lines are ever at risk of being run over, tripped on, or left near a gasoline source. No fires, no shortages, no medical emergencies—just safe, simple ergonomics.

TECNA balancers
Many TECNA balancers are ideal for EV charging stations, but we highly recommend these three options for optimal performance and fit:
9320 ➗ 9323 (9320, 9321, 9322, 9323)
The TECNA 9320÷9323 models are designed to support balance cables and plugs. While smaller and less weight-bearing than some of its alternatives, these model’s size makes it ideal for smaller stations. They come with stainless steel cable or polypropylene cable (9320NY÷9323NY) Affordable and simple, this is a strong option for any EV charging station whether new or experienced with balancers.
Details:
- Body material: Aluminum
- Cable length: 79” (2000mm)
- Cable type: Stainless Steel or Polypropylene
- Weight bearing range: 2.2-17.6lbs (1-8 kg)
- Balancer weight: starting at 3.7lbs (1.7 kg)
Features:
- Adjustable capacity
- Safety suspension
- Safety device against load dropping due to the spring breakage (capacity >3kg (6.6lb))
- Adjustable stroke (cord pull) limiting device
- Cable guide in an antifriction material
- Inert spring drum assembly
- Polyamides thimble
9336L ➗ 9340 (9336, 9337, 9338, 9339, 9340)
Moving up in size and weight-bearing ability, the TECNA 9336L÷9340 is an ideal mix of load capacity, long cable stroke (with extensions available), and durable construction with stainless steel components. These balancers’ increased weight and durability make it a strong choice for any EV station. Also available with Dyneema cable (9336LNY÷9340NY)
Details:
- Body material: Aluminum
- Cable length: 98” (2500mm)
- Cable type: Stainless steel or Dyneema
- Weight bearing range: 1.1 to 30.9lbs (0.5 to 14 kg)
- Balancer weight: starting at 6.8lbs (3.1 kg)
Features:
- Adjustable capacity
- Safety suspension
- Safety device against load dropping due to the spring breakage (capacity >3kg (6.6lb))
- Adjustable stroke (cord pull) limiting device
- Cable guide in an antifriction material
- Inert spring drum assembly
- Polyamides thimble
9346L ➗9350 (9346, 9347, 9348, 9349, 9350)
The TECNA 9346L÷9350 combines the sturdiness of the 9336L÷9340 with a unique stop mechanism designed for safety, ease, and specificity. This stop device uses a specially-designed ratchet that allows the user to lock and unlock the position of the plug and then relock or unlock with a tug on the cable. With this unique ability, users gain more control over the EV cord and can use it without a constant pull—prolonging the cord’s life, especially in high-use stations.
