Ingersoll Rand BHD-55 Heavy-Duty Spring Balancer is designed to support heavier tools and equipment during repetitive assembly, production, service, maintenance, and MRO operations. It provides a 99–121 lbs load capacity and 6.5 ft lift, helping counter the weight of supported equipment while allowing compatible loads to be moved through the available vertical travel.
The BHD-55 is part of the BHD Series of heavy-duty spring balancers and has a listed 27.6 lbs balancer weight. It features an aluminum housing and stainless-steel cable. BHD Series construction and operating features include an anti-friction cable guide, precision-guided cable winding, worm-screw capacity adjustment, a spring drum assembly, a safety device against load dropping due to spring breakage, and an upper suspension with rotary safety hook.
