About the 60kN Wireless Impact Block Loadcell:

  • The safest choice for the working Arborist.
    Manufactured in partnership with DMM, the
    Impact Block has been designed to deliver the
    best performance in terms of alignment,
    resistance and appeal.
    The aesthetic curves of the Impact Block combines beauty,
    strength and durability to ensure a rope friendly surface.
    Coupled with wireless dynamic load monitoring electronics
    and strain gauge technology from Straightpoint and providing
    real time data to either handheld controller or logging via our
    SW-MWLC software to tablet or laptop, it is easy to see why this
    is one of the most sought after products in the industry.
    During development, the Straightpoint Impact Block has gone
    through a thorough dynamic and static validation testing
    regime. The end result is a highly functional product with an
    impressive strength to weight ratio.
