MSI

MSI crane scales and dynamometers are designed to meet several safety and performance standards. Common standards include OSHA 29CFR1910 Subpart N for crane safety, OSHA 29CFR1910.179 for overhead and gantry cranes, and ASME B30.26-6 for rigging hardware. Some models, such as the MSI-4260-5000, carry NTEP CC 19-122 certification for legal-for-trade applications. Always verify the specific standard listed on the product datasheet for your model.

MSI dynamometers, including models like the MSI-7300-2500 and MSI-7300-50000, offer an accuracy of ±0.1% of the applied load. This accuracy is consistent across the capacity range from 2,500 lb to 50,000 lb. The readability varies by model: for example, the 2,500 lb model has 1 lb readability, while the 50,000 lb model has 20 lb readability. This ensures precise measurement for industrial lifting and load testing.

MSI crane scales, such as the MSI-3460-2000 and MSI-4260-5000, typically feature aluminum housings. This material provides a balance of strength and lighter weight, suitable for portable crane scale applications. In contrast, MSI dynamometers like the MSI-7300 series use steel housings. Steel offers higher durability and impact resistance, making it appropriate for heavy-duty dynamometer use in harsh industrial environments.

Yes, MSI crane scales typically include several accessories. For example, the MSI-3460-2000 includes a Crosby Top Lifting Eye and a 360° non-bearing swivel hook, a 6V rechargeable battery, a battery charger/power adapter, a user guide, and crane scale safety documents. Other models may include similar items, though the exact contents vary. Check the product specifications for each SKU to confirm included accessories.

MSI crane scales are designed primarily for weighing suspended loads, such as in crane or hoist operations. They typically have an aluminum housing and are optimized for portability and ease of use. MSI dynamometers, on the other hand, are built for force measurement and load testing, often with steel housings for higher durability. Dynamometers like the MSI-7300 series are used in applications such as tension testing and rigging verification, and they may include features like RF receivers for remote displays.

Yes, certain MSI dynamometer models are available with RF receivers for use with remote displays. For example, the MSI-7300-50000RF includes an RF receiver for use with the MSI-8000 remote display. This allows operators to view weight readings from a distance, improving safety and convenience in crane and lifting operations. Standard models without RF capability can still be used with wired displays or direct readouts.
