Wedge Socket Load Indicating System


When developing new load monitoring and measurement systems for use in lifting applications, innovation and reliability of design are paramount to Water Weights. This focus has led to the introduction of our wedge-socket crane load indicating systems.

These systems have been designed to replace the standard wire rope dead-end. Requiring no modification to the existing wire rope reeving of the crane, simply replace the existing wedge socket with our modified version for the same sized wire rope. The result is no loss of headroom or functionality to the crane.

Available in both radio-telemetry and cabled configurations, our systems give clients maximum flexibility in choice. Together with our parts of line option, the system can be used on cranes where the parts of line alter from job to job, without having to recalibrate the load indicating system. Other available options include solar power, data logging, set points, tape printer and serial I/O.

Water Weights’ wedge-socket systems are ordered based on the wedge-socket wire rope size, not crane capacity or parts of line. Selection of the appropriate systems therefore straightforward and uncomplicated.
