Load pins & load shackles

Load pins and load shackles are essential components for accurately measuring forces in lifting and weighing applications. Designed for integration into various rigging setups, these devices provide reliable and precise load measurements, enhancing safety and efficiency in industrial operations. Our comprehensive range features advanced sensing technology and durable construction, ensuring optimal performance in demanding environments.

Tailored solutions for your needs

A key benefit of our load pins and load shackles is their versatility. Load pins can replace existing pins in hoists and cranes for real-time load monitoring without major modifications, while load shackles offer robust solutions for connecting and measuring loads in diverse applications. Both options are built to withstand harsh conditions and heavy loads, delivering consistent and accurate measurements. With various configurations and output options available, these load pins and load shackles integrate seamlessly into existing systems, enhancing operational efficiency and data accuracy. Whether monitoring loads during lifting operations or assessing forces in testing, you’ll find the ideal solution to meet your specific needs.

  • Versatile integration
    Load pins easily replace existing pins in hoists and cranes for real-time load monitoring, while load shackles provide strong connections for various applications.
  • Durable performance
    Both load pins and load shackles are designed to withstand extreme environments and heavy loads, ensuring reliable accuracy in industrial settings.
  • Enhanced safety and efficiency
    By delivering precise load measurements, these devices improve safety in lifting operations and boost operational efficiency by preventing overloads and reducing downtime.

Considerations for selecting load pins and load shackles

When choosing load pins and load shackles for your application, several important factors should be taken into account to ensure optimal performance and compatibility:

  • Load capacity: Determine the maximum load the pin or shackle must support. Choosing the correct load capacity is crucial for accurate measurements and preventing failures, as exceeding the load limit can lead to sensor damage or inaccurate readings.
  • Measurement accuracy: Check the specifications for accuracy and sensitivity. High precision is essential for safety-critical applications, such as lifting operations, where even minor discrepancies can have significant consequences.
  • Environmental conditions: Assess the operating environment, including factors like temperature extremes, humidity, and exposure to chemicals. Selecting a device designed to withstand these conditions ensures reliable performance and longevity in challenging settings.
  • Output type: Identify the output signal type (analog, current, or digital) to ensure compatibility with your existing monitoring and data acquisition systems. This compatibility is essential for seamless integration and effective data collection.
  • Material and construction: Consider the material and construction of the load pin or shackle. Look for robust designs made from durable materials, such as stainless steel or high-strength alloys, that can endure the rigors of your specific application and prevent corrosion or wear over time.

By thoughtfully evaluating these factors, you can choose the ideal load pins and load shackles to meet your requirements, ensuring dependable performance and precise measurements in your lifting and weighing applications.
