Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is a dream of Toyo Koken Co., Ltd.
What is Shokoriki MONO?
Shokoriki MONO is a wire-type electric balancer.
It combines the power of a hoist with the flexibility of a balancer's 'palm-of-hand fine adjustment' in one unit.
It creates a new work experience where workpieces up to 110kg can be handled as if they were 'air'.
Feature 1: Heavy workpieces become 'light' and float
With stable lifting and lowering performance, it naturally lifts heavy workpieces,
significantly reducing physical strain, awkward postures, and accumulated fatigue.
This unit is designed to gradually alleviate the burden on workers in daily operations.
Feature 2: Intuitive operation that moves as you intend
For large movements, it lifts and lowers smoothly with remote control like a hoist,
and for final positioning, it allows gentle fine adjustment by hand.
This sense of operation, 'moving as you intend,' significantly enhances work efficiency.
It's an intuitive mechanism that is easy to use even for non-experts.
Feature 3: Easy-to-introduce price. A new standard for cost performance
Shokoriki MONO has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of 1.23 million yen.
Leveraging technology cultivated with baby hoists,
its design focuses on essential functions, achieving both high quality and low price.
We pursued a price that allows for 'easy introduction' at manufacturing sites.
[On-site Demonstration]
The value of Shokoriki MONO is best conveyed through experience.
For a live demonstration, we can bring the actual unit to your work site for you to experience its operation.
You can personally feel the holding sensation, lightness, and ease of fine adjustment in your actual workplace.
Our Dream: Delivering Smiles with Technology and Trust
We, Toyo Koken, want to be a company that delivers technology that transforms 'heavy work into light work.'
Gradually and surely lightening the 'burden of weight' that has accumulated as a matter of course in manufacturing sites.
We believe that this accumulation protects the smiles of those who work on site and quietly supports the foundation of society.
Shokoriki MONO embodies this vision and technology,
and is a unit that we were able to deliver at a price range accessible to many people.
We will continue to stand by manufacturing sites,
and create technology that makes the future of workers lighter and brighter.
