Features & Benefits
Features That Make the Difference
Maximum Pointer Memory
Captures the peak load applied so operators can verify maximum tension after the lift is complete, essential in heavy industrial rigging where constant monitoring is impractical.
Generous Shackle Openings
Extra-large, nickel-plated shackles provide secure connections and accommodate oversized rigging gear, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of heavy-duty hardware.
Zero Control Function
Allows adjustment up to 20% of capacity (4,000 kg) to offset rigging weight or set a baseline for preloaded systems, maintaining accuracy in complex setups.
Wide Temperature Range
Delivers reliable performance from –50°C to +60°C, ensuring dependable measurements in Arctic cold or desert heat without compromising accuracy.

Calibration that protects your readings
Calibration is critical when working with 20,000 kg loads. Unlike providers who “paper whip” certificates, we calibrate with NIST-traceable equipment accurate to 0.01%, far exceeding AP specifications.
Every Calibration Includes:
- NIST-traceable standards
- Reference gear 10× tighter than instrument spec
- Multi-point verification across full range
- Detailed before/after readings with uncertainties
- Calibration sticker with dates
- Expedited services for urgent needs
- Support for custom configurations
Did You Know?
Skipping before/after readings leaves no traceability in audits. Our calibration ensures full compliance and accuracy in every certificate.
