These towering behemoths of the Humber estuary are built to withstand harsh weather conditions and the strain of heavy, relentless lifting. Their robust framework and precision systems enable them to lift and move huge quantities of raw materials reliably and efficiently.
Each crane includes an integrated hopper for holding and funnelling the loaded material on to a network of conveyor belts below. Monitoring this hopper are four high-capacity Applied Weighing load cells. These load cells were chosen for their exceptional build quality and are connected to the crane’s central control system, forming a critical component of the overall material handling process.
Designed for both power and endurance, the cranes benefit from Applied Weighing’s ISO 9001:2015 certification, which verifies that their quality management system meets internationally recognised standards for consistent quality and customer satisfaction, and covers the design, manufacture and service of their load cells and instrumentation.
