When overhead weighing applications demand reliability and precision—but space is limited—MSI Load Pin Sensors deliver an innovative and robust solution. Traditional crane scales often aren’t viable in settings with low or no headroom. MSI’s custom-engineered load pins overcome this by directly replacing structural pins (clevis, pivot, shaft, or equalizer) with load-sensing technology—without consuming any additional vertical space.
These load pins are permanently installed into lifting assemblies to provide continuous real-time load monitoring and critical overload protection. Whether you're lifting vertically or applying horizontal tension, these integrated sensors provide the performance and peace of mind needed in high-stakes industrial operations.
Each load pin sensor is individually engineered by Rice Lake's expert design team, ensuring it meets the specific load requirements and operational demands of your equipment. Constructed from 17-4 stainless steel, MSI load pins feature a minimum safety factor of 5:1, ensuring optimal strength, corrosion resistance, and reliability in even the harshest environments.
If your application requires custom monitoring without sacrificing clearance or safety, MSI’s Load Pin Sensors are the solution of choice.
