Crane scales are a unique type of weighing device that has significant applications in various industries. One can attach this weighing device to cranes or other types of lifting equipment. When the lifting equipment lifts a heavy load, crane scales measure the weight of the load. Apart from offering excellent accuracy and precision, crane scalers also offer high durability and portability. This is why we can find numerous weighing and lifting applications of crane scales throughout the world.
In comparison to other types of scales like platform scales, crane scales offer several advantages. For instance, the excellent portability of crane scales allows us to transport them to the load, instead of transporting the load to the scales. This helps us save time and money and boosts the safety of the site. In contrast to platform scales where we face a floor space limitation, a crane scale is useful in clearing up valuable floor space. We can also transport the crane scales easily around the industrial site. Crane scales are also useful in weighing objects with different shapes, including awkwardly shaped objects. Crane scales come with a remote or built-in display and the operator can read the display easily while maintaining a safe distance.
Selecting the Right Range Crane Scales
When picking a crane scale for any industrial purpose, it is important to consider what range you require for the application area to have a successful measurement system. Determining the right range is essential to get accurate measurements from the crane scale. To determine a specific measurement range, you should consider the highest load that you would possibly want to measure.
How to Customize Crane Scales?
You can customize multiple features of a crane scale, including the data output, data loggers, life batteries, displays, pelican cases, and many more.
Industries That Use Crane Scales for Weight Measurement
We can find the applications of crane scales in multiple industries, such as manufacturing industries, entertainment industries, oil and gas industries, wind turbines, safety inspection, aerospace industries, and crane manufacturing companies.
What Are Crane Scale Load Cells?
Crane scales include load cells for better safety and functionality. Load cells are basically transducers that transfer forces like pressure, compression, torque, or tension into an electrical signal which we can measure. When we increase the applied force on the load cell, we see a proportional change in the electrical signal. A collection of strain gauges inside the load cell generates an analog signal and then the designed electronics transform the analog signal into a digital signal which is displayed as weight or force measurement.
Crane scale load cells are useful for various weight or load measurement applications, such as shipment weighing, foundries, overload prevention, periodic crane safety testing, and advanced inventory measurement. Crane scale load cells are suitable for various application areas and different environments.
Crane scales not only accurately measure the weight of the lifted loads but also help to prevent overloads and maintain a safe environment for employees and other equipment.
