Dillon Dynamometers for Marine Applications

Reliable Force Measurement for
Shipyards, Ports, and Offshore Operations

Dynamic Measurement Systems (DMS) supplies Dillon-brand dynamometers and NIST-traceable calibration services for professionals in shipyards, ports, and offshore marine operations. Our marine-grade force measurement equipment ensures safe lifting operations, precise load verification, and compliance with ABS, DNV, and Lloyd’s Register standards.

With immediate inventory, corrosion-resistant construction, and global shipping, we help marine engineers, surveyors, and port authorities maintain operational safety and uptime in demanding saltwater environments.

Marine Force Measurement Equipment Built for Saltwater Conditions

Marine operations require equipment that endures harsh conditions while delivering accurate, traceable readings. DMS provides a complete line of Dillon dynamometers, engineered specifically for maritime use and calibrated to international standards.

Core Marine Products

Dillon AP Mechanical Dynamometers: Proven reliability for crane and rigging operations.

Dillon EDXtreme Digital Dynamometers: Wireless, high-accuracy digital measurement for deck cranes and cargo lifts.

Dillon EDJR Electronic Dynamometer Series: Compact digital instruments ideal for small-vessel and rigging applications.

Marine Crane Scales: Direct load measurement for hoists, winches, and davits.

Dillon Communicator II Systems: Wireless remote display and data logging for distributed load monitoring.

All instruments feature corrosion-resistant housings, weatherproof seals, and fresh NIST-traceable calibration certificates to meet ISO 7500-1 and marine equipment directive (MED) requirements.

Where Marine Professionals Use Dillon Equipment

Shipyard
Operations

Precise load monitoring during hull assembly, equipment installation, and structural testing ensures compliance and safety.

Port & Harbor Operations

Accurate force measurement supports cargo handling, mooring, and dock equipment certifications, helping port operators verify load limits and maintain OSHA compliance.

Offshore Platform Operations

In offshore environments, corrosion resistance and stability under vibration are critical. Dillon’s marine-grade dynamometers maintain calibration accuracy in extreme weather and saltwater conditions.
