Welcome to Straightpoint - Know The LoadWho we are and our services

wedge and spelter socket with straightpoint loadpin

The customisation options provided are so broad that Straightpoint (SP) are also able to produce customised load pins for even ‘Utility Wedge’ and ‘Open Spelter’ type sockets.These types of sockets are often used in conjunction with several wire rope setups including:

  • Boom pendants
  • Guy lines
  • Raising lines
  • Sail boat Backstays
  • Lifting bridles

Usually made from cast steel, these sockets are designed to be attachment points for wire ropes made of steel. When attached correctly, they are regarded as the strongest fitting types you can use to match the maximum load capacity of the cable. They are also beneficial as an on-site attachment that allows the user to make link connections efficiently. It is usually recommended that an anti-rotation wire rope is used when connecting it to a socket in order to maintain stability of the load whilst attached to the socket. The wire rope’s termination broom is usually held into place inside the spelter socket’s cone with a strong hardening gel. When terminating into a wedge socket, the end of the wire rope is threaded through the cone, bent back around the internal wedge and then gripped into place via a seizing clip.

SP load pins are designed to replace the bolt and cotter pin that are usually used to attach the spelter to a separate line or load.

For flexibility to match a wide variety of requirements, we are able to provide either wireless/radio telemetry (up to 700m remote monitoring) or cabled load pin types (for subsea applications). Both types can be fitted easily and without further modification to the socket. The connection to our hand held monitoring displays (HHP/SW-HHP) is also very simple saving you more time to ensure a safe lift/pull.

Loadlink plus is designed to be rigged with Crosby standard shackles - digital dynamometer tension load cell known worldwide as the original electronic force measurement device to feature an integral display, the Loadlink plus has been in production since 1979. Over the years the line has been expanded and the Loadlink plus is now used on a daily basis for load monitoring and heavy lifts ranging in capacity from 1t to 300t, by a variety of industrial and commercial industries including manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, oil and gas, utilities, aerospace and clean energy.

Decades of development into this product include many stand out features such as our unique strain gauging method that helps compensate for wire rope torque when the Loadlink is loaded.

This latest version of the digital dynamometer has advanced features and benefits providing solutions for today’s complicated load test and force monitoring needs. The Loadlink plus features full function push button controls for tare, choice of units (lbs, kg, kN, and tonnes), peak hold, preset tare, audible set-point alarm and an overload counter.

The advanced microprocessor based electronics provide the Loadlink plus with high speed read rates, extreme resistance to industrial level noise and unprecedented stability. This high stability gives the Loadlink plus over 5,000 divisions and the highest standard resolution of any digital dynamometer on the market today. Constructed of high-grade aircraft quality aluminium, Straightpoint’s advanced internal design structure allows the product to once again top the charts with an unmatched weight to strength ratio.

Straightpoint’s link style dynamometers are on average 30% lighter than our closest competitor with the same safety rating.

Global

Straightpoint load cells are used in many industries such as oil and gas, shipping, construction, renewable energies, lifting and cranes, topside and tie downs, mining, entertainment, water bag testing, breakbulk, utilities and military applications.
