Original Equipment Manufacturer of the Counterbalance Lifting Device
Counterbalance modular torsion spring system is designed to take all the effort out of lifting and supporting lids, covers, countertops and electro-mechanical equipment. By carefully controlling the release of spring energy to precisely counteract the pull of gravity, the system does much more than just hold the lid open. It exactly balances the load in every intermediate position as well.
"“Our store is small and therefore requires that we utilize all available space. The newly installed Lift-A-SYST counterbalance is an excellent solution that provides us with a movable counter that is effortless to use and controls access to our cooking area. The countertop door gives us an additional seven square feet of counter space for either preparation or display."
