Static line monitors
Our static line tension monitors are highly accurate and compact.
Designed for wire ropes from 7/8" to 2" diameter, they are suitable for measuring loads of up to 50 tonnes. Simple to install and offering flexibility in use, the small size of the device allows it to be carried easily from application to application.
