Wireless & Cabled Tension Load Links
Configure a load link for crane proof-load testing, water-bag trials, mooring or suspended load monitoring. Match the complete load path, shackles and readout before ordering.
1–500 t FAMILY ENQUIRY SCOPEConfigure TLC-LNK & request quote →
Industrial force measurement and monitoring only. Use as a primary safety cutoff for passenger lifting, elevators or overhead lifting requires a separately specified, approved safety system and written application-specific certification.
Shackle pin diameter, jaw clearance and WLL matched
Wireless handheld kit, 4–20 mA or RS485 options
Requested capacity points: 1, 3.25, 6.5, 12, 25, 35, 55, 100, 200, 300 and 500 metric tonne-force. Evaluate 7075-T6 forged aluminium or 316 stainless configurations and 2.4 GHz / LoRa options by model and destination. WTSTL stainless wireless tension link enquiries require specific immersion and radio-placement review. Large links and shackles can be quoted separately, with calibration scope and freight confirmed.
Ranges and options cover multiple configurations. A quotation confirms the capacity, material, thread, sealing, calibration and output of the selected unit.
CONFIGURATION AND DOCUMENT REVIEW
Compare the load path and signal before the drawing review
| Configuration reference | Force / use envelope | Signal request | Mechanical and evidence checks | Enquiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TLC-LNK-CBL Cabled proof-load link enquiry | 1–500 metric tf across configurations | 2.0 mV/V bridge / 4–20 mA / RS485 Modbus | Shackle pin / jaw clearance by approved drawing Working load, proof-load target and minimum breaking-load evidence are separate requirements. Dimensions, accuracy and model datasheet: confirm on the approved configuration. | Request TLC-LNK-CBL review → |
| TLC-LNK-WLS Wireless load-link enquiry | 1–500 metric tf across configurations | Wireless handheld kit | Matched rated shackle assembly Confirm region, readout protocol, update rate, battery and signal-loss behaviour. Dimensions, accuracy and model datasheet: confirm on the approved configuration. | Request TLC-LNK-WLS review → |
| TLC-HOK Integrated hook load-path review | 1–30 metric tf requested scope | Wireless handheld kit / 4–20 mA | Hook swivel / latch / overhead clearance A dedicated hook assembly requires its own rated load path and approval; not a link accessory assumption. Dimensions, accuracy and model datasheet: confirm on the approved configuration. | Request TLC-HOK review → |
Match the pin, jaw and load line together
| Buyer reference | Interface to supply | Acceptance check |
|---|---|---|
| Crosby G-2130 / G-2140 or equivalent shackle | Exact model, pin diameter, jaw opening and WLL | Approved link bore, side clearance, pin seating, load centering and permitted articulation |
| Existing wireless handheld | Transmitter protocol, frequency/region and receiver model | Pairing and communication-loss behaviour; a shared frequency does not prove compatibility |
| Integrated hook request | Swivel, latch, hook geometry and overhead clearance | Dedicated rated assembly and inspection requirements, not a generic attachment substitution |
Ask for an itemised comparison of sensor, rated hardware, readout, calibration and freight. A buy-versus-rent decision also needs your actual weekly rental, delivery, inspection and maintenance costs; no generic payback guarantee is assumed.
Review marine and stage-specific load paths →BEFORE YOU SELECT CAPACITY
Check every component in the lifting load path
- State working load, proof-test load and the maximum dynamic load separately.
- Verify shackle pin fit, body clearance and permitted loading direction.
- Confirm model-specific WLL, proof load and minimum breaking load documentation.
- Specify wireless frequency, destination radio requirements, battery type, transport needs, sampling rate and signal-loss response.
DESIGNED AROUND THE INSTALLATION
Where this geometry fits
- Crane water-bag proof-load testing
- Shipyard and mooring tension measurement
- Suspended stage and structural load monitoring
CONFIGURE THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
Match the connection.
Protect the measurement.
Select shackles by rated capacity, pin diameter and jaw clearance. A sensor rating alone does not establish the rating of the assembled rigging.
- Pair of rated alloy bow shackles, matched to the load path
- Protective carrying case + wireless peak-hold handheld kit
What to verify on the selected unit
Request a model drawing and pinout, the rated force and overload limits, calibration direction and test points, operating temperature, and model-specific environmental protection.
For digital configurations, confirm IODD / IO-Link implementation or the RS485 protocol and register map. For lifting or protective functions, establish the required certification and independent safety assessment before procurement.
Accessory prices, availability and lead time are confirmed with the configured quote.
WEB-ROLLER EQUATION REFERENCE
F = 2 × T × sin(θ / 2)
This equal-tension, frictionless web-roller relation uses travel-direction deflection θ. It is not a lifting rating or an installed wire-rope clamp calibration model. Roller weight, dynamic loads and support distribution are separate.
Review geometry, units and measurement limits →ENGINEERING QUESTIONS / TLC-LNK
Is a load link a complete lifting safety system?
The load link measures force. The complete lifting assembly, operating procedure and any protective controls require their own assessment and approval.
Is wireless range guaranteed on a crane?
Range depends on the configured radio, installation, steel obstructions and local radio rules. Confirm a site-specific communications plan and a safe response to signal loss.
Can you quote an existing-brand replacement?
Send the exact part number, drawing and calibration data. We compare dimensions, mechanical ratings and electrical interfaces before proposing a configuration. See the replacement checklist.
