The Vital Role of Dynamometers in Precision, Safety, and Performance

How do you know your load?

You select your rigging when lifting, based on the load you plan on picking up or holding.  Typically wire rope and synthetic slings use a 5:1 safety factor when lifting and chain slings a 4:1 safety factor.  Still, qualified riggers stay within the safe working load limit (WLL) as indicated on the sling’s tag or hardware.  However, do you always know your load during the entire lift?

Lifting mistakes can cause property damage, personal injury, and even death

How do you really know how much the load weighs: did you do the math to calculate the load, estimate how wet some sand or soil is, how much each leg of a multi-legged bridle lifts as liquid or material moves in a load, changes in center of gravity, changes in the angle of the sling, to name a few challenges in lifting. You can make mistakes in calculations or what your lifting can change as you lift it. Dropping a load can cause damage to property or someone can get hurt.

Dynamometers give real-time loads that make lifting safer

Dynamometers can tell you loads and erase doubts, making the lifting industry safer. Dillon is a great brand, made in the USA, that indicates real time loads, either using dials, digital readouts in the units, on your laptop, or handheld devices. Dynos can certainly take the guess-work out of lifting, limiting risks associated with lifting.
