The air balancer you can depend on

Coleman EzM is the multiple reeving arrangement of our EzLift pneumatic balancer. Here, just as with the other standard arrangements, operators are provided with a device which can lift and balance their loads. This balance feature frees the operator to use both hands to accurately float the load anywhere inside the work envelope.

Operation of EzM
In empty balance, EzM is floated over to the load to be moved. Once the hook is attached to the part, the load balance button is pressed and held.  This will activate EzM to start lifting at a preset adjustable rate. When EzM is fully supporting the part, the button is released.  EzM will then sense the weight of the load and will put it into balance.  In the balanced state the part can be moved through the full work envelope by lightly pushing up and down on the handles provided or on the part itself. The EzM will do all the work to move the load, and will maintain the position you release it at.

To release the load, the part is floated into place.  The empty balance button is then pressed and held.  EzM will return to Empty balance.  The hook can now be slipped off, and EzM can be floated to balance the next load.

Overhead Supports

Coleman Equipment can supply a complete system by providing an overhead support to mount the EzM on.  Standard systems vary from light duty jibs to long spanning bridge cranes which can be floor, ceiling or wall mounted.  One arrangement which facilitates operation in cramped quarters is an EzM mounted as the secondary boom on our LongRanger Articulated Jib Crane. EzM uses zero height when mounted inside the second arm of LongRanger.  This allows for maximum under-clearance.  The two part boom of the LongRanger also allows the unit to be used around columns, through doorways and close to walls.
