About this category
WIKA Sensor Technology crane & heavy-lift sensors put the measurement inside the lifting hardware itself. The XLCS spreader cell weighs every container through the twist lock; the XLPD dual load pin cancels loading-induced error for pin accuracy to ±0.25%; the XLK shackle cell reads rigging tension from inside a shackle rated 400% overload and fifty million cycles; the F5308 heavy-duty load pins gauge the pin already in the sheave or winch — from 10 kN, with 500% breaking force and ATEX Ex ib / Ex d variants; and the F7301 tension links bolt into the line as load-bearing measuring members. The functional-safety variants pair with the ELMS1 electronics as certified PL d / cat. 3 overload protection. Pick by where the load passes — Prater Technical works with you to spec the right WIKA-ST crane & heavy-lift sensor.
