LOADWISE MODEL 500 RATED CAPACITY & LOAD MOMENT INDICATOR

The 500 series is a fully automatic microprocessor controlled system and operational aid that clearly displays the information and warnings needed for the driver to operate the crane within the parameters of the duty chart.  

For a fully featured indicator with a range of expansion options the Loadwise 500 is the ideal choice. 

Key features of the 500 series include: -  

A large digital LCD display (45mm x 125mm) - all essential information continuously displayed includes: - 

Duty configuration selected

Hoist drum (winch) selected and the number of lines (falls) reeved on the hook block 

Rated Capacity or maximum permitted load

Actual load lifted

Bar graph indicating the actual load lifted as a percentage of the rated capacity

Radius of the load 

Angle of the boom

Visual and audible warnings of approach to and overload conditions

 

Warning messages: Out of Radius/Angle/Duty, High/Low angle, Out of level, Overhoist, Cut out, Last winding (Rope on Winch/drum)

Length of the boom

Height of the boom head

Operator adjustable limits with audible warnings

The last 100 lift records are stored and may be viewed on the display screen 

Selectable start up messages can be displayed which require acknowledgment by the operator 

Displays information & warning messages e.g. "OVERHOIST" 

Rated Capacity Limiter to existing crane motion controls

The 500 series can include a wide range of OPTIONS, including: -   

Range and slew limiting (absolute encoder) with the Loadwise "Virtual Wall" system - The standard version includes up to six operator adjustable 'walls' and two slew-limited arcs
