  • ASME: B30.26 - Rigging Hardware - Safety Standard For Cableways, Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks, And Slings
  • ATEX Zones 0, 1, and 2: Safe to use in explosive gas environments 

Being awarded the compliances above shows that we produce products to the highest of standards needed to perform impeccably within the world's most demanding industries. They are the produce of many years of technical experience, research & development, and a passion to produce the best. We are now in a exceedingly exclusive club of Load cell manufacturers that provide products with these standards being met.

A wireless tension load cell capable of both weighing and dynamic load monitoring, the latest Radiolink plus is constructed of high quality aircraft grade aluminium and features an advanced internal design structure. This internal design structure not only provides the product with an unrivalled strength to weight ratio but it also allows the use of a separate internal sealed enclosure providing the load cell's electronic components with IP67/NEMA6 environmental protection even with the battery cover plate missing, making this industry leading dynamometer even more suitable for use in the harshest environments.

Hardy OneMount™
Hardy Process Solutions

Hardy OneMount™

The Hardy OneMount™with Advantage® shear beams are specifically built to save customers time and money during installation, calibration, and maintenance. Each load point provides extraordinary flexibility and durability in most industrial environments.  Each feature of the load point was intentionally designed based on nearly 100 years of process weighing experience, delivering a best-in-class measurement system for vessel, hopper and tank weighing.

See the OneMount video.  https://youtu.be/EhFYjichNqE

Accuracy:

  • Self-centering rocker design maintains alignment under considerable shear forces
  • Precision sensor (combined error 0.02% rated output) from 1,125 lbs – 22,500 lbs
  • Optional Dynamic Stabilization Rods can be purchased to reduce vibration noise on the sensor for better resolution

Safety:

  • Liftoff and side force ratings are confirmed by third party destructive testing
  • True glass-to-metal hermetically sealed sensors deliver the ultimate washdown protection (IP68/IP69K) 
  • C2® electronic calibration reduces the risk of accidents or contamination from test weights

Easy Installation:

  • Integral spacers can carry the full rated capacity without the load cell installed, eliminating the need for expensive dummy load cells or welding fixtures
  • Once mounts are installed, the load cells slide into place.  With minimal tank jacking (1/8”), the spacers are removed for a live load point
  • 360° checking mechanism means load points can be installed in any direction
  • C2® electronic calibration for fast startup in high capacity installations 

Easy Maintenance:

  • Replace load cells with minimal tank jacking (1/8”)
  • Matched mV/V/ohm load cells are easy to replace without recalibration

User Benefits:

  • OEE improvement from consistent, accurate performance, and reduced installation and maintenance time
  • Reduced capital investment and labor typically associated with dummy load cells and welding fixtures
  • Reduced complexity of system selection and installation from a single, universal design

See Our YouTube Video on the Safe, EASY and Accurate OneMount: http://youtu.be/UXQhjcmBxrU

Easy Installation Process:

  1. Align and level the mounts under the vessel without the load cells installed.  The mounts can be installed in any orientation, because of a 360º checking mechanism to ensure accuracy and safety. 
  2. Lower the vessel onto the mounts and weld or bolt the mounts to the foundation and the vessel.
  3. Perform any peripheral pipe welding or add any required attachments.
  4. Slide the load cell into place and fasten to the bottom plate.
  5. Jack the vessel up 1/8” to remove the shipping/installation bracket.
  6. Lower the vessel onto the live load point and calibrate using Hardy’s C2® electronic calibration.
