Bal-Trol – Pneumatic lifting cylinder

Lift and balance loads up to 600 kg as if they were weightless – smooth operation, lightweight aluminum, the “heart” of every Lifts All lifting system.

Weightless lifting with Bal-Trol

All Lifts All lifting tools are powered by the Bal-Trol. The Bal-Trol is a unique single-acting pneumatic lifting cylinder that lifts up to 600 kg – it works like an air hoist but far more smoothly, and is often used in place of chain hoists or manual lifting.

The Bal-Trol is made of aluminum, so it is light and moves easily along a rail or crane arm. The operator can easily adjust the lifting and lowering speed. The standard lifting height is 1.5 m, customizable up to 8 meters.

The Bal-Trol comes in two ranges – Mini and Full-Scale – each available in horizontal and vertical versions. Which version to choose depends on the ceiling height at your workstation.

  • Max. lifting capacity600 kg
  • Max. lifting height8 m
  • Free load positioning±10 cm
  • Air pressure6–7 bar

More than a hoist

Compared with a conventional hoist, a load on the Bal-Trol can move freely at the lifted position (at least ±10 cm with proportional control). You do not need millimeter-precise control inputs to place the load correctly – simply guide it into position by hand, for example when fitting a tire onto an axle.

Combined with a gripper and an overhead rail system or jib crane, the Bal-Trol becomes a complete lifting system.

Safe in explosive atmospheres

The Bal-Trol is a patented product and a globally registered trademark. It has been ATEX assessed as having no inherent ignition source, meaning it is safe to use in potentially explosive atmospheres, and therefore does not carry CE marking under ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.

Why choose the Lifts All Bal-Trol?

The Bal-Trol runs quietly and smoothly, an effective replacement for chain hoists or manual lifting – reducing fatigue and increasing operator productivity.

The ability to move the load freely at the lifted position makes placing heavy objects exactly where they belong as easy as handling something weightless.

Combined with Lifts All articulated jib cranes, aluminum rail systems and grippers, the Bal-Trol forms a complete ergonomic lifting solution – flexible enough for almost any production need.

The three Bal-Trol series (manufacturer catalogue)

Bal-Trol comes in three series: Pro-Air (P), Single Mount (SM) and Modular Ratio (M). All three lift pneumatically, offer a float range for precise hand positioning without damaging the product, and contain no electronic components that could fail from heat, moisture or programming errors.

Pro-Air (P) – 4 models: P-03, P-06, P-12, P-20

Bal-Trol Pro-Air
  • The smallest, most compact Bal-Trol: a horizontal PH06 is only 15.25 in (387 mm) long
  • Horizontal (H) or vertical (V) mounting
  • Travel made to order from 1 ft to 30 ft or more
  • Same lifting capacity as the M, F and SM models
  • Simple to operate, for all repetitive lifting applications

Single Mount (SM) – 3 models: SM-03, SM-06, SM-12

Bal-Trol Single Mount
  • Horizontal cylinder that mounts like a vertical: one mounting point
  • Inline or perpendicular to the rail, only one trolley needed
  • Travel made to order from 1 ft to 10 ft
  • Same 200 lb capacity and 6 ft travel as the M model, in a far more compact package (about 3 ft 7 in long)

Modular Ratio (M) – 4 models: M-03, M-06, M-12, M-40

Bal-Trol Modular Ratio
  • Modular, space-saving units
  • Horizontal or vertical mounting
  • Each model covers several capacities through 8:1, 6:1 and 4:1 ratios
  • Easy to install and maintain, field repairable
  • Travel made to order from 1 ft to 15 ft or more

How to read the order code

The code is: series (P / SM / M) – mounting (V vertical, H horizontal) – model – ratio – travel (feet) – control (B: Balance Control, H: Speed Handle, SL: Slim-Line Sensi-Touch).

Example codeMeaning
PV03/6-6-BPro-Air, vertical, 60 lb capacity at 80 PSI, 6 ft travel, Balance Control
PH12/6-7-HPro-Air, horizontal, 200 lb capacity, 7 ft travel, Speed Handle
SM06/6-4-SLSingle Mount, horizontal, 100 lb capacity, 4 ft travel, Slim-Line Sensi-Touch
MH12/6-7-HModular, horizontal, 200 lb capacity, 7 ft travel, Speed Handle

Capacities at 80 PSI (5.5 bar); M-40 at 100 PSI (6.9 bar). kg values converted from lbs and rounded. FULLSHARP helps you choose the series, ratio and travel for your actual load.
