Using a new front-loading design, the Brickhouse from TSE makes operation ergonomic and convenient for users. Traditional counterweight arbors are difficult to load due to their side-loading design; operators are required to stretch and twist to load weights from the bottom up. With TSE's Front-Loading arbor, a series of weight shelves eliminates the need for bottom loading and allows counterweight bricks to be front-loaded at the most convenient position. Operators are no longer required to stretch and bend repeatedly to load weight bricks from the side. TSE counterweight bricks also feature built-in handles for convenient gripping and carrying.
The Brickhouse's weight shelves and other innovative design features also provide for more secure operation compared to conventional counterweight systems. These weight shelves eliminate the need for spreader plates and are sloped inward, using gravity to hold bricks in place during operation. A self-engaging gate on the front of the arbor also holds bricks securely during operation to prevent accidental escape.
