Straightpoint: Load Cell Technology for Safe and Accurate Lifting

The TIMH is a wireless tensiometer used for monitoring line tension during towing, mooring, and cable laying especially when there’s no fixed anchor point. It measures tension at speeds up to 20m/min (65ft/min) and supports wire rope setups up to 150t. Two versions are available: one with 2.4GHz wireless (range up to 700m/2300ft) and another with Bluetooth (range up to 100m/328ft) for use with SP’s HHP app. Available in wireless or cabled models, it works with Straightpoint handheld displays and software.

CableSafe is a lightweight tension monitoring tool used to measure and control line tension during cable and rope pulling operations. It helps prevent overstretching, reduces the risk of damage, and supports safer handling in applications like electrical cable pulls, tower erection, and telecom installations. Designed for quick setup and reliable accuracy, CableSafe also offers Bluetooth connectivity for remote monitoring.
