Product Information

Features:

  • Broad Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of rope and electrical cable diameters, from 4mm to 30mm.
  • High-Accuracy Tension Monitoring: Allows users to monitor tension with exceedingly high levels of accuracy, crucially ensuring that ropes and cables do not become overstretched or break, preventing costly damage and safety risks.
  • Integration with Capstan Winches: Can be seamlessly integrated when using a capstan winch to unwind electrical cable from a reel/spool. It ensures the cable is being pulled at a safe tension level, maintaining its transmission capability and preventing it from becoming a fire hazard.
  • Critical for Delicate Structure Installations: Ideal for installing cell phone towers or similar delicate structures. It helps ensure structure-to-ground ropes, connected to a gin pole and pulley system, do not exceed maximum tension whilst lifting tower sections.
  • Lightweight and Durable Design: Constructed from light and durable aerospace grade brushed Anodised Aluminium, making it easy to transport and use in the field.
  • Extended Battery Life: Provides up to 500 hours of battery life from easily installed and replaceable 4 x AA standard Alkaline batteries, ensuring reliable operation for full workdays without power loss concerns.
  • Superior Environmental Protection: Features a high-level IP67 ingress protection / NEMA 6 rating, allowing the product to be used reliably in a variety of heavy weather conditions and dusty environments.
  • Enhanced Accuracy with Five-Wheel Design: Utilises a unique five-wheel design that significantly improves measurement accuracy compared to traditional three-wheel alternatives, with a clear anodised finish on the wheels.
  • Fast and Simple Rope Attachment: Equipped with gravity catches and top sheave pins fitted with linchpins, enabling rapid and simple rope attachment setup, minimising downtime.
  • Remote Monitoring Capability: Allows users to remotely monitor tension on the line using their smartphone via a Bluetooth connection. It provides a safe operating distance of up to 100m/328ft, enabling surveying of job progress from a distance.
  • Diverse Applications: Includes fibre-optic cable pulling using turret winches, water gates for dams, offshore rescue and retrieval, capstan rope/cable winding, broadcast and telecommunications, erecting towers (maintaining structural capacity), and service and maintenance of cell towers.
  • Warranty & Assurance: Comes with a 2-year warranty, demonstrating commitment to product quality and reliability. Its design is also validated by F.E.A. (Finite Element Analysis), ensuring robust engineering and performance.
  • Standard Supply Inclusions: Each unit is supplied with a proof test certificate, an operator manual, and a carry/storage crate for convenient and protected transport and storage.
