The Mechanics of Suspended Loads in Heavy Rigging
Interface products provide real-time measurements of cable tension and load weight to prevent dangerous overloads of rigging equipment. Rigging converts rotational, linear, or gravitational forces into controlled mechanical displacement. It relies on calculating vector forces, tension distribution, centers of gravity, and safe working load (SWL) limits to ensure that heavy components remain structurally stable and balanced throughout dynamic motion.

Outlining Force Solutions for Structural Outrigging
Interface provides load cells and wireless technologies for structural outrigging. Force measurement sensor technologies provide high accuracy measurement of the outrigging equipment in test and actual use. The applications range from integrating sensors into outrigger equipment to using load cells for real-time monitoring of physical structures using outrigger supports. Interface load cells are used by outrigging engineers, civil engineers and heavy equipment manufacturers, oil and gas, construction industry and marine equipment companies.

Rigging Engineers Choose Interface Measurement Solutions
Interface supports rigging engineers who design, plan, and oversee the rigging of heavy loads by providing high accuracy measurement solutions. The use of load cells to measure the weight of heavy loads, such as cranes, ships, rockets, theater equipment and machinery is on the rise. Rigging engineers use the data from load cells, load pins, load shackles, and tension links to ensure that the loads are not overloaded and that the rigging systems are properly designed for each use case. This often requires pairing the high accuracy sensor with instrumentation, and for versatility wireless telemetry systems are useful for rigging engineers.

Innovative Interface Lifting Solutions
Interface lifting solutions are utilized to accurately measure the weight or force being exerted on the lifting equipment. Our lload cells, load pins, tension links, wireless technologies are integrated into cranes, hoists, and lifting devices to provide precise load measurements. Interface lifting solutions apply to equipment and machines used at construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, transportation locations, healthcare facilities, and maritime docks. Lifting applications can vary, such as loading and unloading goods, positioning heavy equipment or machinery, transferring patients in healthcare settings, or lifting materials for construction purposes.
