Jib crane tension monitoring - Infrastructure

Jib cranes, attached to a vertical mast or strong support structure, need a tension monitoring system to ensure lifted loads never exceed the crane's rated capacity. Interface's WTSATL-JR Aluminium Compact Wireless Tension Load Link is installed into the crane's cable, and as a heavy load is placed at the end of the jib, force results are wirelessly transmitted either to a WTS-BS-1-HS Wireless Handheld Display for single transmitters or to the customer's PC through the WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station with supplied Log100 software. This lets the operator monitor the jib crane's cable tension forces continuously and confirm it never approaches its maximum capacity, without adding cables or bulky fixed instrumentation to the crane itself.
