Sarens Uses Crosby|SP Load Cell to Weigh Christmas Trees


> Heavy lifting specialist Sarens is using a 100t capacity Radiolink plus load cell from Straightpoint (Crosby|SP), a Crosby Group brand, to complete delivery of seven 85t Christmas trees for a major oil and gas company. It also utilized Crosby|SP’s 1,000m (3,280 ft.) range SW-HHP handheld reading device. The trees (an assembly of valves, spools

The trees are identical and measure


approx. 17.8 ft. (5,438mm) by approx. 16.6 ft. (5,068mm). For each, Paco and his team utilized various items of rigging gear including chains, slings and shackles, which were sourced from Sarens’ local stock, where products range from low capacity up to 250t items. Paco said: “We had to supply two crane


operators and two banksmen to cover two shifts. As is always the case in this sector, speed and efficiency of service is paramount to delivery of our services. Knowing the weight of items as they follow their supply chain to the point of use is a necessary
