Running Line Monitors

Red Rooster Lifting’s running line monitor is the perfect tool for measuring the tension in a static or travelling rope. The load measuring equipment can be tailored to suit your output requirements.

About our running line monitors

Produced to accept cable diameters from 13mm to 88mm, the Red Rooster Running Line Monitor system electronically monitors the load on a running line (winch, crane, etc.) and is displayed digitally. It can monitor the length of the line out and speed (including direction) in any engineering units.

Standard features of running line monitors from Red Rooster Lifting include:

  • Five wheel construction guides wire smoothly onto the monitoring wheel
  • Wire may be fitted without tools, using a gloved hand
  • Load pin forms shaft of centre wheel
  • Strain gauges mounted in shaft bore (High impact protection & IP65)
  • Wheels mounted on roller bearings with grease nipples

Red Rooster Lifting’s range of load cell products, for use in engineering, industrial processes, manufacturing, and scientific research comply with the UK Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and the European Machinery Directive. The equipment can be UKCA marked or CE marked.

FAQs

A running line monitor is a safety device designed to monitor the movement and position of a load-carrying cable or wire rope. This device is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of cranes and hoists, especially in applications where the load travels along a running line.

The running line monitor typically consists of sensors or detectors placed along the path of the running line. These sensors can detect the movement, speed, or position of the load and provide real-time feedback to the control system. The purpose of the running line monitor is to prevent issues such as over-speed conditions, slack ropes, or improper load positioning, which could lead to equipment damage, accidents, or unsafe lifting operations.

In the event that the running line monitor detects an abnormal condition, it can trigger safety mechanisms such as emergency brakes to halt the crane or hoist operation. This helps to minimise the risk of accidents and enhances the overall safety and efficiency of material handling processes. Running line monitors are commonly used in various industries, including construction, manufacturing, and logistics, where precise control and monitoring of loads in motion are essential for safe and productive operations.
