Load Cell Options for the Stagemaker Entertainment Hoist Range.

This is a specialised system for measuring the weight of the load a Stagemaker chain hoist is holding. Most importantly it also enables continual monitoring. They are totally wireless and each cell transmits with total independence. Because of the multiple channels available.

Consequently this ensures there is no cross contamination of information between different loadcells. There are 3 models. Firstly the SRLI is a radio integrated load cell, fixed to the load chain. Secondly the SLRM has shackles to fit between the hook and load. Finally the SRLC radio load cell is fixed to the top suspension hook.
