Load Cells Range Assists Tunnel Project

Weighing large equipment and fabricated structures is one of Dynamic Rigging Hire’s specialties with our range of load cells and recently DRH was called on to assist a client to obtain a known weight of a tunnel boring machine cutter head that measured 16.5m in diameter.

One of our technicians attended the project site along with our largest compression load cell system that incorporates four 150t load cells back to a touch screen load indicator control unit, with the TBM cutter head up on heavy duty stands the project team raised it by hydraulics whereby the load cells were able to be positioned and the weighing completed. https://dynamicrigginghire.com.au/product/load-cells-compression-system-4-x-150t/

The final confirmed weight was 376.8t and provided the TBM project team with a know weight of the cutter head for their assembly planning purposes.

By hiring the equipment with one of our technicians you get trained competent persons who have intimate knowledge of the equipment, this ensures a trouble-free outcome for the customer and we look after the logistics of moving the equipment to and from site.
