100T Load Test Bag – Wireless Load Cells

The 100T Wireless Load Test Bag Load Cell is a high-capacity tension load cell engineered for accurate, real-time load monitoring during heavy-duty proof load testing with water-filled load test bags. It enables operators to confirm the applied test load from a safe working distance, providing greater control and visibility throughout the testing process.

Load data is transmitted wirelessly from the load cell to the included handheld display, eliminating the need for signal cables around the suspended load. This simplifies the testing arrangement and reduces unnecessary equipment within the exclusion zone.

Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel, the 100T load cell is designed for demanding crane, marine, offshore, mining, port and heavy industrial applications. The unit weighs approximately 74 kg and features an IP67-rated enclosure, providing reliable performance in harsh outdoor and industrial environments.
