Tug lines are one of the most used pieces of equipment in the marine industry because they are subject to high tensile forces and significant friction during each use. In addition, miles of towing across rough seas in extreme conditions can damage the cable to a point where it will have to be replaced.
One major concern for a tugboat crew is to continuously measure the applied tensile force to prevent overloading.
Our marine-grade tensiometers ensure constant monitoring during a cable’s service life, and thus ensure its safe operation.
Customers requiring load cells for line-tension monitoring, heavy lifting, mooring control or release hook load monitoring applications can select from our wide range of standard and custom-made sensors.
