Water Weights Provides

Unique Crane Approach

For the past 25 years Water

Weights, as part of the IMES

Group has been supplying prod- ucts and services to the crane

Industry world- wide. Building on this experi- ence, the company is able to design and build user-friendly Crane Load Systems of top quality. The unique approach allows cost effective systems to not only be reliable, but also easy to install, calibrate and maintain.

Water Weights has made break- throughs in state of the art digital elec- tronics, as it is no longer necessary to load and unload a crane many times in order to set all of the system parameters.

All the user needs to do is set zero, with no load on the crane, and then load to capacity and you have completed the entire calibration procedure. All other system parameters are then digitally entered on the internal or external dis- play, including multiple load limits and units of measure.

Radio telemetry interface between the trolley/winch mounted electronics and the crane operator, not only allows for greater application options, but also in many cases, actually cuts installation costs to the point that it is the lower cost option versus hard-wired systems.
