Enhance crane rigging, clevis and attachment overhead weighing applications by upgrading to a tension link. Designed for crane manufacturers and original equipment distributors in the overhead material handling industry, a tension link can be easily integrated with pre-existing systems. Tension links are designed for static weighing in straight-line lifting and rigging applications, rather than bridging or trolleying under load.

Ideal for integration with cranes, tension links perform static weighing by measuring the force of lifted items. Tension links can be installed in lift chains or between the lifting apparatus and crane block to measure live weight for crane operators and provide a safety indicator for overload and other conditions. In addition, tension links may be added to the dead-end becket of a wire rope hoist to create an integrated weighing system with scoreboard displays and overload protection relays. Tension links designed with a high safety factor ensure compliance with industrial and military safety requirements.
