Overhead Weighing

Are Your Customers Thinking About Safety?

With today’s prevalence of overhead cranes in industrial markets, transporting materials has never been more convenient. However, with this convenience comes additional safety threats through increased potential for improper crane use. Common causes of crane accidents include caught-load, slack line, overload /under-load and structural fatigue. Accidents can result in loss of life, crippling fines and ruined businesses. With Rice Lake’s brand of trusted overhead weighing solutions from Measurement Systems International (MSI), federal OSHA and local regulatory requirements are exceeded to ensure compliance and safety standards. By utilizing weighing equipment either as an accessory or integrated into a crane, accidents can be significantly reduced or prevented. Overhead weighing solutions provide real-time measurement of operational load as well as immediate feedback to operators and safety systems that prevent or limit unsafe conditions. MSI provides two system solutions, below-the-hook and integrated weighing, to ensure overhead weighing remains as safe as possible.

Below-the-hook Weighing

Below-the-Hook Weighing Solutions

Below-the-hook weighing solutions offer an added convenience of weighing in process— eliminating additional stops in shipping and receiving, in-process material handling, metals and manufacturing. These solutions quickly provide operators lifted load weights with optimal balance capabilities. Use a dynamometer or crane scale in monorail hoists, rail mounted and semi gantries, and with jib, tower, whirley, container and loader cranes.

MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2
Dynamometers for light-duty, straight-lift weighing measure both vertical and horizontal tension in static weighing applications. The MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 is the industry’s most advanced digital tension dynamometer. To suit a variety of capacity requirements, the Dyna-Link 2 is constructed of high-grade aircraft-quality aluminum or 4340 steel with gasket sealing.

MSI-3460
The MSI-3460 with ScaleCore provides industry leading weighing features plus much more. Long range viewing is enhanced with a larger 1.5 inch (38 millimeter) ultra-bright LED digital display and resolution settings of up to 10,000 divisions for precise 0.1 percent loading accuracy. Product operating time is extended to over 80 hours with a single six volt rechargeable battery. The MSI-3460 has been upgraded to NEMA Type 4/IP65 levels and maintains minimum 200 percent safe and 500 percent ultimate load ratings.

Integrated Weighing

Integrated Weighing Solutions

• Most bridge, monorail, jib, gantry and straddle crane safety systems employ an integrated load sensing system. An integrated load sensor is designed to be permanently installed and integrated where load is consistently applied relative to the actual load the crane is handling, generally with sheave pin, load link and compression designs. Because of their integrated design, these solutions feature no loss of head height. In addition to the sensor, these systems will have a load indicator providing operators with load indication and controls.

• Clevis Load Pin Sensor
  A key component for MSI’s integrated overhead weighing solutions is the Clevis Load Pin Sensor. Typically designed and manufactured specifically to each integrated solution, the MSI load pin ensures the most efficient and accurate performance for each specific installation. MSI load pins utilize only internally mounted strain gauges for complete protection from the outside environment.

• Shear Web Load Cell
  MSI’s Shear Web Load Cell can be custom-fit for use with existing equipment. The load cell can be interfaced with a wireless RF transmitter to communicate load data with a digital weight indicator or handheld remote display. Reliable and durable, the shear web load cell is IP67 rated, zinc plated and constructed with 4340 alloy steel.

Integrated Weighing

MSI Clamp-On Load Cell
The MSI Clamp-on Load Cell is a durable solution for measuring wire rope tension, providing dependable overload detection and prevention for overhead cranes and hoists. Available in 3/8-1/2 inch and 9/16-3/4 inch envelopes to accommodate most common wire ropes, the MSI Clamp-on installs quickly and easily to the wire rope dead end.

MSI Tension-Link
The MSI Tension Link integrates between a crane block and lifting equipment to provide force measurement for lifted items. The MSI Tension Link features a 7:1 safety factor for compliance
with industrial and military safety requirements.

TranSend™
Transend is a wireless load cell interface that transforms the signal of one or more load cells and transmits the data wirelessly to a receiving unit. TranSend is fully compatible with a broad range of receiving devices including MSI-8000, MSI-8000HD, any other digital weight indicator, PC, PLC or other industrial device. Multi-channel devices offer up to three optional relay contacts and an audible alarm, and can function as a smart junction box.

Digital Weight Indicators and Controllers

Digital Weight Indicators and Process Controllers
For real-time data and event-based response and logging, digital weight indicators,
process controllers and signal conditioning transmitters easily integrate with overhead solutions. These devices can trigger relays for external alarms, warning lights and emergency stops. Integration with PLCs and data logging systems provide load tracking while in operation as well as prompt indications of improper use. RF remote displays provide complete scale interaction while allowing operators to maintain a safe distance from lifted loads and equipment.
