Add-ons and other abilities

Like many of the other load and force calculation products you can order from Lifting Gear Direct, the TKL crane Weigher from Yale is compatible with a remote control unit, although this is not included as standard in the basic package. This extra component gives you more flexibility when it comes to using the device, since you do not need to be within arm’s reach of it to make adjustments, alter settings or perform any other type of interaction. 

This model only requires the power of four AA batteries operating at 1.5 volts, so it is not just able to remain operational for long periods but also provides owners with an affordable way to replace the cells when they are depleted. The fact that it also has an automatic stand-by mode, which will kick in if it is not used for a set period, means that battery life is generally excellent. 

Whichever capacity model of the Yale TKL you choose, remember to adhere to its load limits and pay attention to the overload warning system, since this will allow you to stay safe during use. Indeed one of the main reasons to use a crane Weigher of any kind is to accurately assess the heft of large loads and ensure that the lifting equipment you have to hand is capable of shouldering it.
