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

TowCell load cell for towbars
towcell in use on a 4x4 vehicle
 
Straightpoint has developed a 25kN, wireless tension load cell specifically engineered for the emergency services, salvage and 4 x 4 industries. The Towcell® allows for increased safety and the avoidance of costly overloads by providing real-time monitoring of tensile towing forces during recovery, clearance and salvage efforts.

The Towcell® is rugged, lightweight, compact and can be installed, with ease, onto any tow bar, whether it’s a standard 52mm or 2” ball or pin assembly and is ready to use in seconds.

Modelled after Straightpoint’s best-selling Radiolink plus, the Towcell® is constructed of high-quality aircraft-grade aluminium, featuring an advanced internal design structure providing the product with an unrivalled strength to weight ratio, and allowing for the use of a separate internal sealed enclosure. This internal sealed enclosure provides the internal electronic components with IP67/NEMA6 waterproof environmental protection even with the battery cover plate missing.

Easily sourced AA alkaline batteries offer a massive battery life of 500 hours, the Towcell® utilises an unbreakable internal antenna. Towcell® loads are displayed via Bluetooth SW-HHP App for Android and iOS devices.

Available from stock in capacities 3.25t to 400t, and available up to 3000t, Straightpoint’s Loadshackle is manufactured from Crosby’s industry-leading 2130 Carbon, 2140 Alloy Bolt Type Anchor Shackles and S2135. The Loadshackle offers reduced overall weight and headroom providing a great fit for low headroom applications.

Utilising the same advanced microprocessor-based electronics as all Straightpoint products, Straightpoint’s cabled Loadshackle benefits from high sampling rates, extreme resistance to industrial level noise and unprecedented stability. A huge range of tooling allows Straightpoint to calibrate in shackle for extra accuracy, unlike many other load cell manufacturers.

Straightpoint cabled Loadshackles are also environmentally sealed to IP67 and, as an option, sealed for permanent submersion for sub-sea use. The cabled Loadshackle range can be used with digital displays including the Straightpoint Handheld plus, PLCs, data acquisition systems (DAQ), etc. and configured with a vast array of output formats to include mV/V, RS-422, RS-485, utilising the ASCII, MODBUS RTU and CAN-BUS protocols or supplied with integral amplifier allowing analogue outputs such as 4-20mA, 0-10v, 0-5v etc.
Whether used in heavy lifting, mooring anchor placement or sub-sea applications, Straightpoint’s cabled Loadshackle offers robust construction, advanced electronics, industry-leading resolution and accuracy all at a cost-effective, affordable price.
Requires connection to Straightpoint’s Handheld plus (HHP) or External Amplifier range (SA-3420) that can be configured to provide outputs such as 4-20mA, 0-10v, 0-5v for PLC or data logger integration.

Manufactured in ranges from 5t to 500t - other capacities available on application. Straightpoint compression load cells are manufactured to the same stringent standards as all Straightpoint products. The bodies are machined from high grade stainless steel, offering excellent strength and anti-corrosion properties. Compression load cells can be supplied with optional loadcaps to protect objects being tested.

The compact lightweight design provides ease of use and superior portability, allowing Straightpoint compression load cells to be used in a broad range of industries including mining, energy, defence, heavy rigging, shipping, and general transportation sectors.
Utilising the same advanced microprocessor based electronics as all Straightpoint products, Straightpoint’s compression load cells benefit from high sampling rates, extreme resistance to industrial level noise and unprecedented stability.
This high stability gives this product over 5,000 divisions and the highest standard resolution of any high capacity compression load cell on the market today.
Like all Straightpoint products, Straightpoint compression load cells offer robust construction, advanced electronics, industry leading resolution and accuracy.

Requires connection to our Handheld Plus or our Desktop controller datalogging software package

S BEAM load cell

Need a Price? Contact Us

A range of stainless steel ‘S’ beam load cells from 100kg to 5t.
The Straightpoint ‘S’ Beam range of tension/compression load cells are suitable for smaller Silo, vessel and tank weighing applications or for building into OEM projects, testing machines etc.

Hardwired, they are supplied with a 10m/30ft cable and can be connected to the Straightpoint range of accessories such as the Handheld plus.

Fitting options available including threaded bar, rod end bearing and eyebolts.
The 'S' beam loadcell can be used in both tension or compression and has a threaded hole at each end making it a very flexible solution.

 

 

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.
