These handy sensors are often used for weighing, for example, silos, containers or vehicles. We supply compression load cells and other crane scales from the world famous brand Straightpoint. This brand's equipment is known for its robustness, safety and accuracy. Please contact us if you have any questions: our specialists in the field of hoisting equipment are ready to advise you on the right load meter for your hoisting project.
