LMS by Pewag

In heavy lifting, guessing the weight of a load is not an option. Overloading a crane or rigging assembly can lead to catastrophic failure. LMS (Load Monitoring Systems), a division of the renowned Pewag Group, provides the solution with high-precision load measurement devices.

Holloway Houston Inc. (HHI) stocks a premium range of LMS load cells. From standard 3.25 Ton units for lighter lifts to massive 400 Ton heavy-lift sensors, these devices turn your rigging into a smart system, delivering accurate weight data directly to a handheld display or PC.

The LMS Product Ecosystem

1. Load Link Load Cells

The standard for under-the-hook monitoring. These devices fit in-line between the crane hook and the rigging.

• Design: Constructed from high-strength aerospace-grade aluminum or alloy steel, ensuring they remain lightweight yet incredibly durable.
• Accuracy: Calibrated to within ±0.3% of the applied load, giving you laboratory-level precision in the field.
• Wireless Technology: Features advanced wireless transmission, allowing the operator to read the load safely from a distance (up to 800m range) without dealing with tangled cables.

2. Shackle Load Cells

A shackle and load cell in one.

• Integration: Replaces the pin of a standard shackle with a load-sensing pin. This is ideal for headroom-restricted lifts where there isn't space for a separate load link.
• Capacity: Our inventory includes heavy-duty options capable of monitoring up to 400 Tons, perfect for weighing modules, vessels, or offshore structures.

Why Choose LMS by Pewag?

1. Safety Through Data

The primary cause of crane accidents is overloading. LMS devices provide an immediate visual warning if a load exceeds the safe working limit. This real-time feedback allows the lift supervisor to stop the operation before an accident occurs.

2. Rugged Durability

LMS equipment was born in the North Sea oil industry. It is designed to handle:

• Water & Weather: Electronics are sealed to IP67 or IP65 standards, making them impervious to heavy rain and dust.
• Impact: The housings are designed to survive the rough handling of a working rigging deck.

3. Pewag Quality

As part of the Pewag Group, one of the world's oldest and most respected chain manufacturers, LMS benefits from centuries of metallurgical expertise and global support networks.

Applications

• Proof Testing: Verify the strength of pad eyes, beams, or cranes during certification.
• Weighing: Determine the exact weight of huge industrial components for shipping or transport logistics.
• Load Balancing: When lifting complex structures with multiple cranes, LMS cells ensure the load is shared evenly between hooks.

Technical Specifications

• Safety Factor: Generally 5:1 (Minimum Breaking Strength).
• Battery Life: Long-life battery operation for extended field use (often 1200+ hours).
• Units: Switchable between Tonnes, lbs, kg, and kN.
• Compliance: Calibrated to ISO 7500-1 standards.
