At Lifting Gear Direct we stock and supply load and force calculation equipment from big name brands at competitive prices, with our tension links line up reflecting the variety on offer across the rest of our lifting equipment range. A crane load link or weight load cell can help determine the weight and forces implied on a load and therefore offer an additional safety aspect to lifting applications.
Tension Links provide the means to calculate load and force measurements on many lifting applications. They can measure in a range of measuring units including; kg, tonnes, lbs & kN.
Being able to measure the load that is being applied to equipment is important if you want to perform a variety of operations as safely as possible. It is not sensible to let guesswork take the wheel when lives are on the line and taking risks will likely lead to property damage as well as lost productivity. With the right tension link, you can steer clear of these issues with ease. Tension link measuring devices can be used with a variety of equipment for example on a crane or hoist to determine the weight of the load or perhaps with a cable puller or a towing rig to determine the forces used.
These compact measuring devices have either a digital display incorporated into the main unit, or they may have a remote control hand held display, these enable clear and easy reading of all measurements and calculations.
Our load cell range has models with varying capacities, the largest having a 500 tonne lifting capacity.
We endeavour to offer customers as many different product options as possible in our tension links line up, meaning that you can order products from brands you know and recognised.
Dynafor, Straightpoint and Yale are amongst the companies whose tension links we supply.
Whether you have an allegiance to a particular brand already or you are looking to expand your horizons with a bit of kit from a fresh manufacturer, Lifting Gear Direct can help.
A tension link can be the cornerstone of a good lifting setup but you might also require other products to optimise your ability to operate effectively.
Add in a crane scale to accurately measure weights, opt to order a custom gantry system to give you the framework for convenient, portable lifting and see what else Lifting Gear Direct can do for you by searching our site.
You do not need to fumble in the dark for the right tension link, as our experts can talk you through the range, explain particular products and also give you a quote to make things simple. Email Lifting Gear Direct or call us on 01384 76961 to get the ball rolling.
A tension link is a device for fitting to a crane or hoist in order to measure load weights and force calculations applied to the lifting operation.
Load cells are used for weight inspection, tension control, construction applications, goods monitoring and packaging prior to dispatch.
