wireless crane lmi-rated capacity indicator-user installable

If you have a factory crane LMI that has failed and are looking to put on a new system, the most cost effective path for you is to retrofit a Cranesmart Wireless Rated Capacity Indicator onto your crane. 

Why?

If you take the path to replace the factory cable based LMI with a hardwired system, you will need to have a technician to come onsite to install the system and perform the calibration, this will cost you additional dollars; often airfare, labor & travel charges of up to $5,000.00, or more.  This is on top of the system price.  

​With a Cranesmart Wireless Rated Capacity Indicator you can perform the installation on your own, backed up by our 7 days a week technical support, this will save you $$.

On a Cranesmart Wireless Rated Capacity Indicator, the load weight value is calculated by reading the strain on the wire rope. This is done by using a load pin in a boom tip sheave, a running line tensiometer (linerider) or a dead-end load cell installed at the becket end of the wire rope (most common). A digital load chart is created in the display to show load rated capacity.  

Calibration is simpler on an RCI as it removes the step of empty/loaded boom weight calibration for all boom configurations, as seen in an LMI. Cranesmart Load Links are shipped pre-calibrated.  Line Rider & Load Pin Calibrations are done on site to train the load sensing device as to the strain on the wire rope and convert it to a weight value. A cable reel and angle sensor are used as it is on the LMI to calculate radius.  

On a lattice boom crane, the RCI installation is much simpler and less costly from a calibration perspective as compared to a load moment system. A lattice boom RCI uses a wireless strain gauge load sensor and an angle sensor for radius calculation.

David Smith, President of Scale and Control has been providing the crane industry with crane weighing solutions for the past 30 years across the globe.  Our Engineering/Technical Support Manager Ryan Wadewitz has extensive engineering and technical support experience having worked for a US crane manufacturer for many years.  We have the knowledge and experience that you can trust.  We provide 7 days a week product support. 

Please give us a call and we would be pleased to assist you with your next crane weighing system solution.

Cranesmart LMI-Rated capacity indicator

  • System can be purchased as either an Load indicator or as an RCI
  • You send us your Load charts and they are programmed into the display
  • The display has a built-in processor, reducing the number of components to be installed in the crane cab
  • Can monitor A2B (Anti-Two-Block) and other options
  • Data logging is available via download to USB stick
  • The Cranesmart RCI is an ideal cost solution for applications where system customizations are not required. Designed for hydraulic and lattice boom applications
  • Systems are designed to work in all environmental extremes. Temperature from -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F), saltwaterspray, sand storms or 100% humidity are no problem. Hazardous locations certified equipment is available.
  • Wireless Line Riding Tensiometers, Load Pins and Dead-End Load Cells are available for load sensing on RCI applications
  • Various cable reel sizes are available to suit your hydraulic crane type, with integrated angle sensor for monitoring boom length and radius.  
  • Wireless Angle sensor available for lattice boom applications
