Load Monitoring for Stage Safety
We sell entertainment load cell and entertainment load monitoring equipment from Eilon Engineering's Ron Crane Scales range, giving riggers and production teams real-time weight readings when flying truss, hoists and lighting grids. Preventing overloads and confirming safe weight distribution matters as much in a touring rig as it does on a construction crane, and these systems are built for exactly that precision.
The range covers wired and wireless dynamometers, crane scales with integrated or attachable displays, and standalone load cells with built-in amplifiers, all rated to ±0.1% accuracy across capacities from 0.5 to 300 tons.

Load Monitoring for Stage Safety – Product list
Wired dynamometers and crane scales
The Ron 2000 Wired Dynamometer and Ron 2000 Wired Crane Scale cover the widest capacity range in the line, from 0.5 tons up to 300 tons, giving accurate readings for everything from a single moving light to a full touring truss system. Both use a cabled connection between the load sensor and display, keeping the reading close to the operator without relying on a wireless signal.
Attachable display options
The Ron 2125 and Ron 2150 dynamometers pair the same sensing element with a 25mm or 50mm attachable display, making the reading easier to see from a distance or in low light conditions common in a rigged venue. The matching Ron 2125 and Ron 2150 Crane Scales apply the same display options to the crane scale format.
Wireless monitoring for flexible positioning
The Ron 2501 Wireless Dynamometer and Ron 2501 Wireless Crane Scale remove the cable between sensor and display entirely, transmitting readings up to 150 metres away. This suits load points that are difficult or unsafe to monitor at close range, such as a hoist flown high above a stage, letting a safety officer read the load from ground level.
Integrated display crane scales
The Ron 3025 and Ron 3050 build the display directly into the crane scale body rather than as a separate attachable unit, giving a simpler, single-piece setup for installations where a fixed display position works better than a detachable one.
Standalone load cells for system integration
For riggers building a monitoring system into existing show control or PLC infrastructure, the Load Cell with 4-20mA Output and Load Cell with 0-2V Output provide raw amplified signal output, letting the load reading feed directly into a separate control or logging system rather than a dedicated standalone display.
Choosing a capacity
Match the load cell capacity to the specific point load you're measuring, not the total rig weight, since each cell measures load at its own attachment point. Capacities in this range run from 0.5 tons, suited to smaller truss sections and individual fixtures, up to 300 tons for the heaviest structural lifting points.
Standards and compliance
Ron Crane Scales load monitoring equipment supports compliance with ANSI/PLASA E1.6-1, the entertainment industry standard covering powered hoist systems and load monitoring practice for rigging in live events. Under UK LOLER regulations (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations), lifting equipment used to raise or lower a load, including monitored rigging points, requires regular thorough examination by a competent person. Load cells should always be selected with a rated capacity that matches or exceeds the maximum expected load at that specific attachment point, with an appropriate safety margin.
