Use the included Windows-compatible software to upload measurement data. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy. All have a threaded male shaft for connecting additional attachments. The tare function lets you reset the scale to zero. Activate the peak-hold setting to retain the highest reading on the display. Gauges cannot be sold to Canada due to local energy efficiency requirements.

Take tension and compression measurements at 0.1% accuracy—the highest accuracy of all our force gauges. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. They have a backlit LCD display to easily read measurements, even in low light. The display is reversible, meaning you can detach it, flip it, and reattach it so that the shaft is either on the top or bottom of the gauge. Connect the included attachments to the shaft to grip the material being tested. These gauges have a peak-hold setting that retains the highest reading on the display. Upload your measurements to a computer using the included software.
Stands with a lever handle are quick to use but not as precise as stands with a wheel handle. Choose them for high-volume testing.
Stands with a wheel handle give you better control of motion, so they’re more precise than stands with a lever handle. Choose them for low-volume testing.

Safely view your tension force measurements on a handheld receiver up to 450 ft. away when moving bulk material with cranes and hoists. These gauges are also called dynamometers and crane scales. Made of steel, they’re durable enough to briefly hold heavy loads up to 500% of their capacity. But, they will no longer take measurements if the load exceeds 200%. Warning lights will flash first when your load exceeds capacity, then again when it reaches 133% capacity. To prevent overloads, the peak-hold setting displays the highest measurement. The tare function lets you reset the gauge to zero after attaching a container to weigh only the material inside. These gauges include a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. They also meet IEC and ASME safety and fatigue standards.
Because their indicators and load cells are IP rated, these gauges stand up to washdowns and brief submersion common to food and chemical plants. They’re also safe to use outdoors since they’re NEMA rated to seal out weather.
These gauges come with two shackles that work with other lifting fittings, such as clevis hooks. The included batteries power their load cells for up to 2,000 hours.

Measure tension force as well as weight. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy. All are NEMA 4X rated for protection from dust, water, and mild corrosives. They can be manually reset to zero and have a peak-hold setting that retains the highest reading on the display when activated. Also known as dynamometers.
