Crane, Hanging & Tension Scales

Start with how the load is supported and where you need to read its weight. This department brings together integrated crane scales, handheld and mechanical hanging scales, S-type weighing kits and tension-link systems. Use the category paths below to choose a design, then compare capacity, display increment, power and supplied components.

Where do you need to read the weight?

Explore crane scales for electronic models with the display built into the scale body. Check whether the display will be visible from your working position and what the supplied remote controls. A handheld controller may operate zero or tare without showing the weight itself.

Choose S-type weighing kits when the application needs a load cell connected to a separate indicator. Compare the exact indicator, cable length, power supply and mounting components. These packages still require an appropriate supporting arrangement and system setup.

Digital handheld or mechanical dial?

The hanging scales category covers portable digital and mechanical choices. Digital hold can retain a reading for later viewing, while tare subtracts a container's displayed weight. A mechanical dial offers battery-free operation. Compare the capacity and smallest readable division for the exact version, and check whether hooks, a pan or other attachments are supplied.

Tension measurement or hydraulic force?

Use dynamometers and tension scales to review the listed tension-link system, including its separate readout and connection requirements. Check the supplied cable and accessories rather than assuming wireless operation or included shackles.

For a hydraulic press application, the force gauges category follows a different measurement path: hydraulic pressure and the matching cylinder determine the force reading. Confirm gauge, cylinder, pressure range and adapter compatibility before selecting it.

Review the complete application

Allow for the full gross load, including anything suspended with the item. Readability is the displayed increment; it is not a guarantee of accuracy. A scale or load-cell capacity does not establish the working-load rating or lifting certification of the complete assembly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and have a qualified professional assess the supporting equipment and application.
