Crosby’s ChainSafe Helps Ensure Safety of Loads

Sept. 29, 2021 - ChainSafe, with a 4.4-USt capacity, is a smart, dynamic solution for measuring the load on lashing, load securement, tie downs, and chain sling legs.

It’s designed for securing loads in the transportation and construction industries. Connected to Crosby Straightpoint’s free Android or iOS HHP App, which has real-time overload alerts and reporting for later analysis, and with a range of 328’, ChainSafe ensures the safety of cargo during transit.

ChainSafe improves safety and efficiency by measuring the tension on chains, avoiding costly breakage and maintenance. It is the perfect combination with a Speedbinder or Lebus Loadbinder to accurately monitor the tension on tie downs.

Because ChainSafe is equipped with a comprehensive range of optional chain fittings offered by The Crosby Group, such as hooks, lashing, and chain shorteners from Gunnebo Industries and Crosby, the device is totally adaptable.

The design has an unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio, with a completely sealed stainless steel enclosure providing IP67 or NEMA6 environmental protection. That makes this dynamometer even more suitable for use in the harshest environments.

Thomas Dietvorst, director of Crosby’s Technology Solutions division, said: “We are uniquely positioned to deliver productivity and safety advantages to the point of use, given the lifting and lashing applications that already utilize Crosby and Gunnebo Industries-branded products, in addition to other products and technologies in the portfolio. Transportation professionals, and those responsible for small to medium crane lifts, have already noted the benefits of adding ChainSafe to their lifting and lashing applications and how precious cargo is protected.”

Additional features include unrivaled battery life of five years, based on four hours of use per day, and an internal antenna.
