Not so long ago, the concept of crane scales simply did not exist. Tensile dynamometers performed the weighing function. Soon, electronic crane scales successfully replaced their mechanical counterparts. They are designed to determine the mass of loads in suspension, but with much greater accuracy and reliability. Their use is especially convenient in cases where other weight structures are not available. For example, in cramped industrial premises or at the time of loading and unloading goods. To use a crane scale, you must have a lifting device or you can do with ceiling beams, rings, hooks.
When choosing a crane scale, carefully evaluate the main characteristics .
First, it is worth deciding on the measurement limit. Usually crane scales are selected with a margin of the weighing limit, because the difference between the actual weight of the cargo and the estimated one can be significant. In cases of significant excess of the crane scales' capabilities, the weight value is simply not determined, and the indicator will report an overload. Scales with the largest measuring range (from 100 kg to 30 tons) are equipped with control panels with a range of up to 30 meters.
The degree of protection against moisture and dust is also an important parameter for crane scales. If you are going to weigh in the open air, then instruments with a low degree of protection can easily fail. For open spaces, the temperature range of the crane scale should also be selected. The operating range from -30 to +60 degrees Celsius is optimal in difficult weather conditions.
Choosing the right crane scale will result in your efficiency .
