Straightpoint Wireless Load Shackle - Range from 3,250kg to 400 tonne

Crosby Straightpoint’s Wireless Loadshackle (WLS) provides the perfect solution to limited headroom or super heavy lift projects. Available from stock in capacities from 3.25t to 500t (up to 3000t available POA), the WLS is constructed using industry-leading shackles from Crosby.

Each WLS is proof tested, then equipped with a hard-anodised aluminium electronics enclosure. Contained within this enclosure is an internal chassis providing IP67 or NEMA6 environmental protection, even with the battery cover plate missing.

Featuring industry leading wireless technology, the WLS can maintain an update rate of 3Hz. It can be easily configured to run at industry-leading speeds of up to 200Hz, if required for dynamic load measurement projects.

Utilising easily sourced AA alkaline batteries, the WLS features advanced circuitry, designed to protect the unit from damage associated with incorrectly installed batteries. This circuitry extends battery life, and the use of easily-sourced alkaline batteries, eliminating issues associated with rechargeable battery pack charging, failure and replacement.

The WLS may also be used with Straightpoint’s Insight software package, allowing the operator to perform load tests at a safe distance and generate real-time test certificates on site.

A full array of wireless accessories are also available including wireless score board, overload alarm and base station with analogue (4-20mA) or 2 relay or RS485 ASCII outputs.
