Overhead Crane Scales for Sale

Overhead cranes are frequently the cause of safety concerns in loading and unloading operations. An overhead Crane Scale can be placed inline with the crane to weigh each crane load to ensure it is within weight limits, as well as to track the amount of material being transferred. Ultimately, the use of a crane weighing system will quickly realize its Return on Investment (ROI).
An overhead crane weight scale will drastically improve the consistency and safety of loading and unloading crane operations. The rugged crane scales developed by Eilon Engineering, are designed with industry in mind. They are accurate products that will increase the safety and repeatability of any process requiring crane work. For more information, reach out to your Eilon Engineering representative today.

Ron 2000H

The Ron 2000 is a wired crane scale that displays the mass on a handheld remote. There are models capable of handling as little as 0.5 tons and up to 30 tons, with headroom loss ranging from 9.3 inches to 28.9 inches, depending on the model.

Ron 2125H

The Ron 2125 has a wired overhead crane scale with a simple-to-use remote. It can be purchased in models ranging from a maximum load of 0.5 tons to 30 tons, with headroom loss from 9.3 inches to 28.9 inches. Ron 2125’s 1”/25mm display is attachable in capacities up to 12.5t

Ron 2150H

The Ron 2150 is very similar to the 2125, except it features a much larger, 2”/50mm display. This model is available for maximum loads of 0.5 tons to 30 tons, with headroom losses from 9.3 inches to 28.3 inches.

Ron 2501H

The Ron 2501 H is a wireless crane scale with a handheld remote and display. This model is available in capacities from 0.5 tons to 32 tons. Depending on the load requirements, the Ron 2501’s headroom loss is only 9.3 inches for the 0.5 ton model to 28.9 inches for the 30 ton model.

Ron 3025

The Ron 3025 is designed for low-headroom applications. In fact, it has the smallest headroom loss on the market, but its small form factor is surprisingly capable and rugged. It is available with maximum loads up from 0.5 tons to 12.5 tons, with headroom losses ranging from 13.2 inches to 21.8 inches. Ron 3025 is available with an optional protective cage.

Ron 3050

The Ron 3050 is a bigger brother to the Ron 3025, featuring a 2”/50mm display instead of a 1”/25mm display. It can handle loads from 0.5 tons to 15 tons, losing only 13.2 to 24.6 inches of headroom. The Ron 3050 is also available with the optional protective cage, just like its little brother.

How will adding an overhead crane scale affect the handling of the crane?

There will be very little difference in the handling. The Eilon Engineering crane scales have the smallest headspace loss in the industry.

What if my application requires the load to be displayed in multiple locations, like with a crane operator and other plant personnel?

Optional displays can be connected to the industrial crane scales so that the crane operator can read one, and perhaps a larger display can be mounted on the wall for other plant personnel.

What is the difference between the “S” models and the “H” models?

The “S” models have a shackle connection and the “H” models have a hook connection. The hook connection is faster, but the shackle is generally smaller and therefore more portable.

What options are there for communication between the scale and other devices?

There are wired and wireless connections. With some optional hardware, scales can communicate via Bluetooth connections to phones and tablets.

Enhanced Safety

An overhead crane scale can provide surety that a load is within the safe lifting capability of a crane system. This tremendously enhances the safety around an overhead crane system. Suppose a facility uses an overhead crane to move bags from storage to a shipping truck. The mass of material in the bags may vary wildly, even if the volume of each bag is similar. Without an overhead crane scale, there is no way to determine whether the crane can lift it, other than to rely on the statement, “it has lifted it before!”. With an overhead crane scale, the operator can begin to lift and have confidence in the crane system based on the real-time display of the mass.

Load Accuracy

An overhead crane scale can also improve the accuracy of loading and unloading operations. Loose material, such as gravel, scrap metal, sawdust and sand may have a similar volume between crane loads, but different masses, even if it came from the same source. This is because loose material has a packing factor, or how tightly the material is packed, in each crane load. This can vary on settling time, moisture content, material, shape and numerous other factors. With an overhead crane scale, these variables become unimportant, as the operator knows how much material is being transferred with each load.

Overhead Crane Scales by Eilon Engineering

Eilon Engineering is a leader in crane scale manufacturing.They have a variety of models that will suit the needs of most overhead crane applications. The Ron line of overhead crane scales offer many options suitable for industrial environments.
Each crane weigher is capable of less than 0.1% full load error. Every one of their digital crane scales can be interfaced with computers quickly for making electronic records of the operation.

The Eilon Engineering Advantage

For more than 45 years, Eilon Engineering has been developing industrial crane scales. Their scales have been used extensively in heavy industry, such as manufacturing, shipping, oil and gas, utilities, wind turbine installation, offshore drilling, foundries and many others.

Industry-Leading Accuracy

Eilon crane scales are accurate to 0.1% of their full range. This means a 30 ton scale will be accurate to within 60 pounds. This high degree of accuracy is especially beneficial to large operations that require accumulating totals from multiple crane loads.

Factors of Safety

Eilon Engineering guarantees enhanced safety during operation. Each load cell is designed with a 5:1 factor of safety, and each hook is designed with a 4:1 factor of safety (by its manufacturer). Furthermore, every system is tested to a 100% overload (200% loading).
Every overhead crane scale sold by Eilon Engineering is backed by a five year warranty. They have been designed to comply with IEC 61508 and ASME BTH-1 standards that protect against premature fatigue failures. Repeat customers, such as Boeing, Disney, and NASA add confidence in the surety of these crane scales.
