A couple of men can hook it up on any crane you own in less than 15 minutes. Yet it's designed to meet all the new Federal safety regulations for load-angle devices that you have to meet, and costs less than many systems that take hours or even days to install. The 50 ton transmitter weighs less than 150 pounds and can handle weights up to 100,000 pounds. And, since it's completely wireless and "hangs" on the end of the hoisting line or block, it doesn't affect the crane's rigging in any way. It doesn't require crane manufacturer's service or service data, either. The indicator is capable of readouts up to 998,000 pounds and runs off the crane's normal 12 or 24 volt system. Both visual and audible alarms, an automatic tare adjustment and line tilt indicator are standard equip- ment. Optional boom angle indicating and other special features are also available. Ask for our brochure. In the time it takes to write us, Transcale™ could be working on any crane you own. TRANS-SONICS s | Burlington, Massachusetts Please write to P.O.
