Remote-Reading Tension Force Gauges
Safely view your tension force measurements on a handheld receiver up to 450 ft. away when moving bulk material with cranes and hoists. These gauges are also called dynamometers and crane scales. Made of steel, they’re durable enough to briefly hold heavy loads up to 500% of their capacity. But, they will no longer take measurements if the load exceeds 200%. Warning lights will flash first when your load exceeds capacity, then again when it reaches 133% capacity. To prevent overloads, the peak-hold setting displays the highest measurement. The tare function lets you reset the gauge to zero after attaching a container to weigh only the material inside. These gauges include a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. They also meet IEC and ASME safety and fatigue standards.
Because their indicators and load cells are IP rated, these gauges stand up to washdowns and brief submersion common to food and chemical plants. They’re also safe to use outdoors since they’re NEMA rated to seal out weather.
These gauges come with two shackles that work with other lifting fittings, such as clevis hooks. The included batteries power their load cells for up to 2,000 hours.

Large-Capacity Digital Tension Force Gauges with Scale
Measure tension force as well as weight. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy. All are NEMA 4X rated for protection from dust, water, and mild corrosives. They can be manually reset to zero and have a peak-hold setting that retains the highest reading on the display when activated. Also known as dynamometers.
