Pullman Manufacturing Corporation has served the American building trades since 1886, producing spring counterbalance systems that discreetly replace traditional sash weights, chains, and pulleys in double-hung wood windows. Manufactured in Rochester, New York, Pullman balances are engineered for historic rehabilitation, enabling insulation of original jamb pockets while preserving sightlines, proportion, and smooth operation. Standard Replacement Balances accommodate a broad range of sash weights and are installed with sash removal for precise fitting within existing cut outs and mortises. For lighter applications, the EZ Replacement Balance permits installation without removing the sash or disturbing historic trim. Beyond window work, Pullman produces industrial counterbalances that suspend tools and equipment with controlled tension, reducing operator strain and protecting materials in workshop and factory settings. Orders are fabricated to measurements for preservation professionals nationwide.
