Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    A customer needs a boat hoist system in order to lift boats out of water for maintenance purposes. They would like a wireless solution in order to monitor the forces being applied through the hoist system.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface suggests using multiple WTSSHK-B Wireless Crosby™ Bow Load Shackles at the pick up points of the hoist mechanism. Data results of the individual loading points and total weight can be transmitted wirelessly to the WTS-BS-4 Industrial USB Base Station when connected to a PC or laptop with supplied Log100 software.

  • Results

    Interface’s wireless system and solution successfully measured the weight of the boat and ensured it would be safely lifted out of the water.
