The Wacker Neuson 5100002297 Counter Rope is a genuine OEM replacement designed for the LBA80M, LBS80M, LB110M, and LB50H series light balloons. As a direct OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component that shipped with your machine. This part is confirmed to fit LBA80M/230/50, LBS80M/230/50, LB110M/120/60 US, LB110M/120/50 UK, and LB50H/230/50 light balloon models.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Made to the same material strength and dimensional specs as the original, ensuring the rope handles the repeated tension and load cycles of balloon inflation and deployment.
- Drop-In Replacement — Attaches to the existing anchor and balloon assembly the same way as the factory-installed counter rope, with no modification to mounting points needed.
- Broad Light Balloon Fitment — Compatible across the LBA80M, LBS80M, LB110M, and LB50H light balloon families, covering both 50 Hz and 60 Hz variants as well as US and UK configurations.
- Maintains Tethering Integrity — A worn or damaged counter rope compromises the balloon's ability to stay properly positioned and under controlled tension, affecting light spread and safe operation at height.
- Verified Part Number — Sourced and cataloged as Wacker Neuson part 5100002297, so you can order with confidence that you are getting the correct rope for your light balloon model.
The counter rope on a Wacker Neuson light balloon serves as the primary restraint and tension line that controls the balloon's position relative to the mast or anchor point during deployment. It keeps the inflated balloon correctly oriented so it delivers consistent, wide-area illumination at the intended height and angle. When the counter rope becomes frayed, stretched, or breaks entirely, the balloon can shift out of position or become a safety risk at elevated heights, making timely replacement essential for safe and effective site lighting.
