Load Cells for Cranes & Lifting Equipment

SensorData's load cells for crane and lifting equipment are available in a wide range of capacities, from as low as 200 lbs up to 500,000 lbs. Models like the F341–F347 series cover 5K, 10K, 20K, 50K, 100K, 250K, and 500K lb capacities, making them suitable for light hoists through heavy industrial cranes.

Yes. SensorData's fatigue-rated shear web load cells are guaranteed for 100 million fully reversed load cycles. This makes them ideal for cranes and lifting equipment that experience constant, repetitive loading. The SAE 4340 alloy steel construction and proprietary shear web design ensure structural integrity over extended service life.

Yes. SensorData's shear web load cell designs are specifically engineered to resist the effects of bending and off-center loading with minimal crosstalk. This is a critical feature for crane and lifting applications where loads may not be perfectly centered, ensuring measurement accuracy and sensor longevity under real-world conditions.

SensorData's load cells for crane and lifting applications deliver high accuracy with nonlinearity and hysteresis as low as 0.07%. They also feature a low-profile design with deflection under 0.002 inch, providing precise force readings without compromising the structural integrity of your lifting system.

Yes. SensorData Technologies offers in-house calibration services, including calibration with customer-supplied electronics. Certain models also include free calibration for the first four years. Calibration ensures your load cell delivers accurate readings throughout its service life, which is essential for safe and compliant crane operations.

SensorData's load cells are compatible with both AC carrier and DC strain gage signal conditioning electronics. This broad compatibility allows integration into a wide variety of crane monitoring, data acquisition, and overload protection systems. Mating connectors and interconnecting cable assemblies are available as accessory options.

SensorData load cells are used across construction and civil engineering, aerospace and defense, petroleum and mining, power generation, material and structural testing, and heavy manufacturing. Applications include structural testing rigs, hydraulic actuator measurement, suspension weighing systems, and real-time force monitoring on industrial lifting projects — anywhere reliable, high-accuracy force measurement is required.
