Body Shop, General Assembly

  • Use Cases: Vehicle body assembly, body shops, conveyor-based manual stations
  • Tools Supported: Pneumatic, hydraulic or electric tools: drills, torque wrenches, riveters, spot welders, clinching tools, air hoses, power cords 
  • Context: Tool retractors organize power tools and hoses, freeing workers from pulling weight and ensuring tools remain at hand while maintaining ergonomic position—even overhead or repetitive work. Zero Gravity Balancers reduce strain and improve precision on assembly lines and body shops
  • Industries: Automotive, electronics, aerospace, general manufacturing

The automotive industry is one of the most demanding sectors, where speed, precision, and safety are critical. Workers often perform repetitive tasks for hours at a time, using heavy pneumatic and electric tools. Without proper support, this can lead to fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), and costly downtime.

Tool balancers and retractors offer a proven solution. By suspending and counterbalancing tools, they remove the strain of carrying tool weight, keeping equipment within reach while improving ergonomics, safety, and productivity.
