Controlled Cable Tensioning

Electricity line and communication towers, big tents and other structures that are supported by guy wires can be affected by changes in cable length attributed to to temperature changes. These changes could lead to cable failure.

Using cable load meters and dynamometers for controlled cable tensioning and measuring cable tension solves the problem.

Advantages of Ron Crane Scales and dynamometers that make them so suitable for cable tension measurements:

Small dimensions make them portable

High accuracy: 0.1% of full scale

Very long battery life: 2000h

90 degrees between shackle holes make them more accurate and safer

Made of aerospace quality steel

Standard remote indicator

Fatigue rated load cells

Reliable wireless communication
