lifting equipment: electronic crane scales

When using a crane scale, should be considered, that their readings may depend on the time of year, humidity and air temperature. Scales can be used both in production, as well as in everyday life. Due to the wide measuring range, scales can be used for weighing small loads. The use of crane scales is possible in various fields of activity. For example, crane electronic scales are widely used in loading and unloading operations. На сайте «» можно ознакомиться с огромным выбором грузоподъемного оборудования.

Technical advantages of the equipment

With the help of a special mechanism, the weighed load is fed onto the hook, and the reading takes place. The electronic crane hook is a device, which is attached to the load-lifting mechanisms (crane, hanging cradles, winches) and has a built-in display system. Depending on the brand of hook, its design may vary.. There are hooks with a mechanical, digital, light or touch display.

Weighing devices can be of two types: analog and digital. A weight is placed on the hook of the scale. When the strain gauge is triggered, a voltage arises from the weight of the load, which is converted into a digital code and transmitted to the scales. The digital code, in turn, enters the weight terminal, where it is converted to the weight of the load. Electronic crane scales can be equipped with RS232C communication interface.

Functionality of scales

Electronic crane scales with a hook can perform the following functions:

• cargo weight measurement;
• measurements of the mass of goods, transported on a crane hook;
• determination of the lifting capacity of the crane.

Scales are designed for static weighing of various loads, moving along crane runways at metallurgical enterprises, mining, energy and other industries. They can also be used in warehouses and to determine the mass of goods on vehicles.

Design features

The hook is hung on a cable, which is stretched by a special cable laying. Devices can withstand loads up to 5 tons and can operate at temperatures from -30 to +40 degrees. Thanks to its compact size and low weight, electronic crane scales can be mounted on lifting devices. They are suitable for weighing goods in various enterprises., in logistics centers and warehouses.

Crane scales have several modes of operation. Scales can be used for static weighing of goods on the hook of hoisting mechanisms (cranes, loaders, excavators).

Electronic crane scales are used in a variety of fields - from agriculture to trade. Loads are weighed using electronic crane scales, which are suspended or placed on the hook of a lifting mechanism.
