- Designed with a safety factor of 5:1 on the safe working load.
- All load bearing bodies have been tested by ultrasounds, die-penetrant and proof loaded to 150% of capacity.
Applications
Designed for all applications in the lifting industry, including offshore, that do not require the load cell to be submerged (due to radio communications). Installation above a ball, odd parted on the block, or even parted on the boom tip.
General Description
The load cell is installed in-line with the wire-rope. This load creates minute deformations of the load cell and electronics convert it into a load value, which is transmitted to the receiving unit. The transmitter box mounted to the load cell houses the battery, radio transmitter, and load converter.
Ordering Information
