New Crane Scale Built to Protect Rigging and Lift Operators
July 1, 2015
Industrial Magnetics, Inc. recently introduced the WeighPlus crane scale. This programmable device is designed to warn the operator if he or she is lifting an overload, thereby protecting the operator from an unsafe lifting situation.
Prior to lifting, the weigh scale's working load limit (WLL) is set to match the rating on the lifting device being used, such as a magnet, sling or chain. During the lift operation, the weigh scale's LED displays the weight being lifted and will warn the operator if he or she exceeds the WLL of the lifting device with a flashing red display.
Available in a 5,000-lb. or 15,000-lb. weight capacity model, the scale contains a sensor with an accuracy of ±0.2% (0.002). The unit runs on standard "D" batteries and has a power save setting that will put the crane scale into sleep mode when left on and not in use. Housed in durable stainless steel, the electronics are shock mounted, while the recessed display and control area provide additional protection.
