Mobile load measurement
Portable rope tension testing for accurate maintenance and commissioning.
About our mobile load measurement units
Mobile load measurement systems provide essential tools for checking and adjusting rope tensions during installation, maintenance and statutory inspections. Our Henning range uses patented sensor technology to measure individual rope loads without permanent installation, working with various rope types and diameters. These portable units identify uneven loading that causes premature wear, vibration and uneven traction. The MSM 12 evaluation unit displays real-time readings from multiple sensors, enabling quick tension adjustments to manufacturer specifications. These tools ensure rope tension distribution is distributed evenly, preventing costly rope replacements and improving ride quality.
