Overview

Crane and Hoist Load Monitoring Systems

Crane and hoist load monitoring systems are critical for ensuring lifting operations remain safe, accurate, and compliant with industry standards. These systems monitor loads in real-time, preventing overload conditions and equipment stress while enabling operational efficiency. From construction sites to manufacturing plants, reliable load monitoring protects personnel, machinery, and materials. This page details how modern monitoring systems improve situational awareness and reduce lifting risks. Load Force Measurement serves B2B industries across North America with robust, scalable solutions engineered for high-stakes environments. Our systems integrate seamlessly with lifting gear and provide essential data to supervisors, safety officers, and control systems. As a trusted B2B provider, Load Force Measurement delivers intelligent load control backed by technical expertise, a customer-first philosophy, and continuous innovation. We help industries modernize their safety frameworks and maintain smooth, incident-free lifting workflows

Case Study 1: U.S. Automotive Assembly Plant (Michigan)

A major auto manufacturer integrated Load Force Measurement’s crane monitoring system on its robotic hoist lines. Real-time load data helped eliminate overload failures and reduced unplanned downtime by 17%, streamlining body panel handling operations

Case Study 2: Commercial Port Terminal (Texas)

Port authorities deployed wireless monitoring on ship-to-shore cranes. The system’s real-time alerts reduced the risk of overloading during container transfers, leading to improved safety compliance and enhanced data reporting

Case Study 3: Canadian Mining Company (Ontario)

A mining operation in Northern Ontario installed our integrated hoist monitoring solution on vertical shaft lifts. Load Force Measurement’s system provided predictive maintenance data, allowing crews to address cable strain issues before failure, extending equipment life and improving worker safety
