BroadWeigh Wireless Load Monitoring Systems & Shackle Technology

BroadWeigh specialises in high-precision wireless load monitoring systems, essential for ensuring safety and structural integrity in complex live production and theatrical rigging environments. Their product line is engineered for accuracy and reliability, providing critical data to AV technicians, production managers, and riggers working with suspended loads. The core of the BroadWeigh system revolves around its robust wireless load shackles, available in various capacities such as 3.25t and 4.75t. These shackles feature Smart Sleep technology for extended battery life, IP67 weatherisation for demanding conditions, and user-friendly magnetic fobs for power cycling. Complementing these are innovative accessories like the TwistLink, designed to minimise torsional forces and ensure secure connections between shackles. Data acquisition and management are handled by a suite of sophisticated tools. BroadWeigh offers a range of wireless USB base stations, including portable dongles and industrial-grade units with extended ranges up to 800m, supporting USB, RS232, and RS485 interfaces. Handheld displays provide on-site monitoring without the need for a PC, while the LOG100 software allows for comprehensive data logging and visualisation of up to 100 channels, complete with configurable visual and audible alarms. Bluetooth-enabled shackles and a dedicated toolkit app further enhance flexibility for close-range monitoring. Beyond load cells, the brand also provides essential peripherals such as wireless active repeaters to extend signal range, wind speed sensors for environmental monitoring, and configurable relay and warning modules for integrated safety protocols. Custom-designed flight cases with high-density foam inserts ensure secure transportation and protection for these vital components, affirming BroadWeigh's commitment to complete, reliable load monitoring solutions.
