The Global Standard for Industrial Overhead Weighing

Eilon Engineering’s industrial crane scales are specialized overhead lifting devices engineered for the precise measurement of suspended loads. Our unique 90° offset shackle hole design provides maximum stability by reducing the influence of external moments, leading to safer, more stable lifts and more accurate readings. 

Our Ron Crane Scale™ line utilizes aerospace grade steel, fatigue-rated load cell bodies with a 5:1 or 10:1 safety factor and ±0.1% accuracy of the full scale. This dedication to quality has made Ron Crane Scales the benchmark for overhead weighing systems around industries like aerospace, construction, and other heavy rigging operations since 1976.

Engineering Advantages of the Ron Crane Scale™ Series

In industrial weighing, material quality plays a key role in safety and reliability. Unlike many other weighing systems that utilize common alloy steel, Eilon Engineering load cells are constructed exclusively from aerospace-grade low-alloy steel.

Fatigue Rating & ASME BTH-1 Compliance

All Ron systems are fatigue-rated in accordance with ASME BTH-1 standards. So while lesser systems will degrade over time, Ron Crane Scales are designed to withstand an unlimited number of load cycles, so long as the maximum lifting capacity has never been exceeded. This makes them the perfect fit for both safety-minded operations with high-frequency usage and for permanent installations.

Unique 90-Degree Offset Shackle Design

Our proprietary perpendicular shackle hole design reduces bending moments and increases weighing accuracy by up to 25% over traditional in-line designs. By ensuring the load cell remains perfectly vertical, off-axis loading errors are minimized for maximum safety during critical lifts.
