About the TLL stainless steel load link
The series of load monitoring links have been designed for lifting and weighing in rugged or harsh environments, being manufactured entirely from stainless steel.
The TLL series are simple to install and are matched to standard shackle sizes. The links are normally supplied with a MIL specification plug and socket, and the whole package is environmentally sealed to IP66.
The TLL series can be supplied as shown in this data sheet, or can be modified to meet a particular application requirement. We are always pleased to discuss any special requirements that can be accommodated.
The TLL series can be supplied on its own or combined with our extensive range of instrumentation to provide a complete load monitoring system.
Typical Applications
- Cable tension monitoring
- Under-hook hoist and crane weighing
- Towing/mooring tension
- Crane safe load monitoring
Available Options
- Special ranges and sizes available
- Hazardous Area certified - Explosion Proof (Ex d) and Intrinsically Safe (Ex i)
- Can be supplied complete with shackles
- Can be supplied with integral signal conditioning
- Optional complete carry kit, including indicator
- Special electrical connections
- TEDS option when used with TR150 handheld display (Not available with Hazardous Area versions)
