Straightpoint Load Monitoring

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.

Straightpoint takes pride in the technologically advanced development and distribution of world-class load monitoring, solution based systems. Their wired and wireless windows based software, and full line of accessories, allow for the easy acquisition and manipulation of force and load monitoring data. Viewing and simultaneous data logging has never before been this simple. Their easy to use software solutions provide for the printing of load reports, confirmation of mass and center of gravity, and allow for the concurrent display and data logging of up to 30 Straightpoint wireless load cells from a single PC. The full range of accessories give you the option of either wired or wireless PC and PLC integration via an Analog or Serial output, wireless overload notification and the ability to increase wireless range and coverage via an active repeater/signal booster module. All of their system solutions and accessories are in stock and are ready for quick delivery to anywhere in the world.

Now available as a wireless product the Straightpoint range of low headroom links are designed to provide accurate measurement of loads in the most challenging applications where headroom restrictions are a major factor. Constructed from high strength alloy steel and exposed to an array of testing during development, this impressive range of load cells is designed to work with industry standard shackles from manufacturers such as Crosby and Van Beest. Applications include weighing, lifting, force measurement and load monitoring of structures such as lighting trusses, hoist mountings and fly line tensioning.
