Applications

When lifting and hanging stage equipment, even when individual loads are known and thus the total weight on a structure established, there is still a potentially major problem with unpredictable load distribution.

Eilon Engineering is proud to be involved with the supply of our Ron CraneMaster (for multiple point load monitoring) and Ron Crane Scales (for single point load monitoring), to NASA and Boeing on the CST-100 Starliner.

A test for measuring cable tension in overhead electricity and communication tower guy lines is very important because of environmental influences that often affect the cable length. Changes in cable length alter cable tension and may eventually lead to cable failure. A cable pull test enables controlled cable tensioning that solves the problem.

In high temperature environments such as foundries, where casting and forging activities take place, there is a need for radio (telemetry) crane scales.

Dangerous hoisting and crane overload situations may occur when the lifted load‘s weight is unknown. However, even when the weight is known, dangerous overload may still occur.

Crane scales help to increase efficiency during manufacturing processes as they enable the lifting stages to be utilized for weighing the lifted load. By this means, the crane scales eliminate the need to transfer raw materials, unfinished products or finished products to be weighed in truck scales in the yard.

Industrial crane scales for below hook weighing help manufacturers to reduce manufacturing costs and improve efficiency. Ron Crane Scales are especially suitable for shipment weighing.

Dynamometers (load meters) are used for force and load measurement, including drag force measurement, for example: bollard pull test, drag force measurement of rescue vehicles, plows, etc. Ron dynamometers are especially suitable for traction control and force measuring thanks to their following features.

Crane scales, dynamometers, hook scales and hoist scales that are used for below hook weighing are often used also for proof test applications.

Crane Scales, dynamometers and digital load meters are useful for process control and monitoring as they measure forces and loads. Measurement with load scales ensures optimal process operation, as it helps to detect extreme measurements which are indications of undesired deviation from the optimal process. 

In recent years, the wind power industry has more than doubled its capacity leading to a doubling in the demand for crane scales as well. Sales of Ron Crane Scales by Eilon Engineering have grown proportionately.

Multi point load monitoring is important in the following scenarios: Heavy complex lifting: More than 40 years of experience in load monitoring let to the development of Ron StageMaster and Ron CraneMaster systems: Our advanced, wireless and wired multi point load monitoring systems.

We are celebrating more than 40 years of weighing spaceships, boats, helicopters, rockets, wind turbine parts, rescue vehicles, live event rigs with tens of tons of equipment and more We even weigh polar bears…
