UK firm Strainstall receives award for container weighing system





U.K. firm Strainstall announced its Container Weight System (CWS)™ has won first place in the "Best Onboard Weighing System" category of the Weighing Review Readers' Choice Awards 2016.

The annual online voting competition is voted for by the International Weighing Review's readers in over 72 countries, and covers all major innovations in weighing technology.

"With less than 100 days left before the new SOLAS container weight verification amendments are enforced, this award illustrates confidence in Strainstall's ability to meet compliance with the Container Weight System™," said Simon Everett, managing director of Strainstall.

"Our system provides a highly accurate load measurement solution for container weighing, integrating load monitoring technology with container

handling equipment to provide a quick and easily retrofitted solution that delivers accurate weight verification data in real-time."

Strainstall says its Container Weight System™ can be installed and tested within a matter of hours and is fully configurable, enabling operators to select the most appropriate option for their container handling needs. System options are flexible, incorporating either load pins, diaphragm load cells or standard industry Twistlocks. The system can be installed in the spreader, headlock, sheaves or booms using our patented technology for use with reach stackers, rubber tire gantry's (RTG), straddle carriers and gantry cranes.

Strainstall provides a range of services including hull stress monitoring, crane weighing and overload, tendon and riser tension monitoring in TLPs, and all aspects of structural health monitoring.
