Load weighing
Accurate overload detection to protect your passengers and prevent equipment damage.
About our load weighing systems
Our load weighing systems provide essential safety monitoring. They prevent dangerous overload conditions and optimising lift performance by accurately detecting the number of passengers in the lift car. Our Henning range features innovative donut sensors and rope load cells that measure absolute weights without requiring calibration weights. These systems detect overloads before they strain the motors, monitor imbalances in rope tension, and enable energy-saving features like bypass travel and motor optimisation. Meeting EN81-20 requirements for overload detection, our sensors connect to the AE12 evaluation unit for immediate commissioning. Available for loads from 300kg to 3500kg, these precision instruments ensure safe, efficient lift operation.
Why this matters to your operations
Modern load weighing prevents costly lift overloads while reducing energy consumption and passenger waiting times. The benefits include:
- No calibration weights required, saving commissioning time
- Individual rope monitoring detects tension problems early
- Enables bypass travel for improved efficiency
- Protects your motors from damaging overload conditions
- Pre-torque and start compensation to improve passenger comfort
- Real-time load data to optimise dispatching
