Crane scales for precise weighing in chassis
Optimize space with low-profile crane scales, ensuring accurate weight measurement in tight retrofitting scenarios.

The Crane Scales – Weighing in the Chassis from Qlar offer a precise and low-maintenance solution for steel producers and industries with constrained spaces in crane operations. This system integrates multiple SENSiQ WB weighbeams between the crane frame and chassis to ensure accurate ladle weight measurement. Designed for seamless retrofit even in tight spaces, the crane scales eliminate the need for moving parts, reducing maintenance demands. The static weighing units, which are permanently secured, effectively handle dynamic loads without critical cable connections, common in cross-beam installations. Ideal for applications such as weighing in steel plants and biomass power generation, these scales are capable of measuring with an accuracy of up to +/- 0.1% of the limit value. Compact and modular, they offer robust protection from radiant heat, enhancing reliability in harsh industrial environments. Customization options and engineering support are available to meet specific operational needs, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines.
