Performance & Safety Features

• The Z-Brake Advantage: The defining feature of this unit is the integrated mechanical safety brake. In the event of a sudden loss of air pressure or a severed hose, the Z-Brake immediately engages to lock the load in place, preventing catastrophic drops and ensuring operator safety.
• True Zero-Gravity "Float": Once the load is balanced, the operator can move the 300 lb workpiece up or down manually without using the controls. This "hand-on-load" positioning is essential for delicate assembly work, machining centers, and palletizing.
• Precision Engineering: Built for continuous industrial use, the Zimmermann internal ball screw and piston design provide a much smoother travel than traditional chain hoists, eliminating the "jerking" motion that can damage sensitive parts.
• Maintenance-Friendly: The modular design allows for easy access to seals and internal components, ensuring a service life that can span decades in a professional environment.

This Zimmermann Pneumatic "Z-Brake" series load balancer represents the pinnacle of ergonomic lifting technology. Designed for high-cycle assembly and precision positioning, this 300 lb capacity unit transforms heavy lifting into a weightless, "floating" operation. Unlike standard air hoists, the Zimmermann series is specifically engineered for operators who need to guide loads into place with fingertip accuracy and zero physical strain.
