Anyone that works in a factory, warehouse or anywhere involving repetitive tool processes will be well aware of the benefits of spring balancers. If not, it’s high time you get educated!
Spring balancers allow you to easily and efficiently use a suspended tool with very little effort or exertion; e.g. a welding gun on a production line, paint spraying equipment in a garage or even X-ray apparatus.
Benefitting from an up/down freedom of motion, this piece of equipment can be adjusted to stay in position or retract based on the needs of the worker and nature of the task, taking the weight off the worker to quite literally lighten the load.
At SLG, we stock a number of spring balancers from US-based industrial equipment giants, Yale.
With a history that dates all the way back to 1844, Yale has worked tirelessly to become one of the pre-eminent worldwide leaders in forklifts and warehouse solutions.
Today, Yale is part of the Hyster-Yale group, a publicly traded company on the NY Stock Exchange and internationally recognised with a variety of awards and accreditations.
Suffice to say, Yale has a bulletproof reputation within the industry for their top-quality reliable equipment and these tool balancer products are no exception.
Yale’s YBF Series is offers safe and simple service through the containerised spring cartridge, capable of handling up to 100kg in weight.
This model also includes an anti-wear feature that prevents damage to the aluminium housing. This can be even be replaced without dismantling the housing.
Similarly, wire replacement can also be done without dismantling the body for further ease of access.
The YBF series also offers a variety of safety perks, notably its enclosed body design, preventing hand injuries such as trapped fingers.
The YBF Series is available in the following models:
The YBA Series is much like the YBF Series, offering virtually all the perks of its counterpart but with a number of helpful additions, most notably its wire arrest system.
The wire arrest precaution is perfect for jobs involving a repetitive process where there is a distinct possibility of damage to the wire strands; e.g. fabrication and welding production lines.
The YBA Series has a weight capacity of 70kg and is available in two models:

When it comes to top-quality engineering, Italy undoubtedly ranks highly on the list – look no further than the Ferrari for proof of that.
In the construction industry, the theme holds true and few equipment manufacturers can match up to the lofty standards set by Italian giants, Boscaro.
At SafetyLiftinGear.com, we know this all too well – which is exactly why we stock a wide variety of Boscaro products.
To give you a taste of Boscaro collection, here are a few of the most popular Boscaro products we have in stock at SLG.
Ideal for use with a variety of lifting hoists, these heavy-duty tipping buckets have been built with durability in mind, fully certified and compliant to EN standards.

These are currently available in the following capacities:
Naturally, the weight capacity increases with the size, ranging from 132kg limit for the 60 litre version, all the way up to 390kg for the 150 litre model. That’s roughly the weight of a horse!
While we don’t recommend using these buckets to hoist any stallions, there’s no doubt that they certainly provide some serious bang for your buck.
As the name suggests, these circular skips are tailor-made to for muck and waste removal, while they can also be used for site clearance.
Featuring two safety catches for additional user protection during the loading and unloading process, the cleverly engineered design allows the skip to empty automatically, utilising the lifting arm’s centre of gravity.
The weight limit of the 250 litre model reaches a maximum capacity of 650kg, while the larger 1000 litre version can handle as much as 2600kg of weight. For those keeping score, that’s the weight of a giraffe.
Luckily, you won’t be sticking your neck out with these products. They’re built to last and able to handle some serious weight. Simply choose the model with the capacity that suits your purpose and let the skip do the heavy lifting for you.
For smaller jobs, Boscaro even has a Plastic Circular Muck Skip for loads of up to 70 litres, capable of withstanding up to 150kg of weight (roughly the weight of a panda).
Perfect for general use around site, these self-dumping bins are a great addition to your on-site kit. Available in 600 litre and 800 litre versions, these bins couldn’t be easier to use: simply attach to a crane hook, lift and watch it automatically tip.
Complete with both fixed and swivel castors for effortless mobility around site, each bin also comes with two handles on the back for enhanced manoeuvrability, while they also feature brakes for safe and secure positioning when stationary.
Boscaro’s crane forks make for a fantastic addition to on-site crane user’s arsenal. Fully adjustable in height and fork width to suit the task at hand, these handy attachments are also self-balancing, allowing the load to stay level during the actual lifting process.
Made from high-quality steel, durability isn’t an issue here – these forks are built to take the pressure and have a varying weight capacity of 2 tonnes or 3 tonnes depending on the chosen model.
For additional protection, they also come with a facility to attach a protection net if required. Fully tested and certified, with a 2-year warranty in toe, this is one product that won’t let you down when it’s time to lift.
