Improving Crane Safety and Efficiency with Load Cells and Monitoring Systems

Crane load measurement systems are essential for improving safety, reducing downtime, and increasing operational efficiency. They provide real-time measurement of critical components and assemblies, allowing operators to monitor loads and detect hazardous lifting conditions.

Load cells are a crucial component in crane systems, as they are used to monitor the force being exerted on vital points along the crane’s load path. These sensors are responsible for ensuring that no part of the crane or its rigging is carrying more load than what is designed to handle. By accurately measuring the weight, tension, compression, and force of the load, operators can ensure that they are working within safe limits. Load cells are critical to the safe and efficient operation of crane systems, and their proper installation and use should be a top priority.

With over 40 years of experience in the industry, Unique Group's Water Weights? has extensive knowledge of our customer’s requirements and understands the desired functionalities. Building on this experience we offer standard and custom systems for various applications, purposes, and environments. These systems are designed to be robust, and easy to install, calibrate, and maintain, making them ideal for industrial and manufacturing, marine and subsea, nuclear, oil and gas, metals industry, hazardous area instrumentation, and aerospace applications.

Crane load measurement and monitoring systems help prevent accidents by detecting overloads, logging real-time load measurements during lifting operations, and providing audible or visual alarms to alert operators of dangerous lifting conditions. These safety features are critical, especially in hazardous environments, where even a small mistake can lead to severe injuries or worse. Our systems support both the daily operations and long-term maintenance of cranes by turning collected data into knowledge for determining proper usage for ongoing maintenance, and inspection planning with their maintenance crew.

Applications include:

?Above the hook (sheaves, drums. trolleys)

?Below the hook (links, shackles, canisters, beams)

?In the hook block (trunnion, sheave pin, hook)

?Rope dead-end (A2B, wedge socket, clamp-on, line rider)

?Cabled or wireless telemetry

Our systems evolved through a long-standing commitment to collaboration with our customers. Water Weights? Integrated Management Systems are certified to ISO 9001, 45001, and 14001 Standards. Highly important when talking about safety, environment, and efficiency in the industry.
