Measurement Systems International model 3360 CHALLENGER 2 provides the features and reliability you expect from industry's leading manufacturer of electronic crane scales. When you weigh quality and price, there is not a better value than the CHALLENGER 2 for indoor weighing applications up to 7.5 tons.

Every CHALLENGER 2 is NTEP approved for accuracy. Its advanced electronics offer you versatility with an unrivaled standard feature set that includes: Tare, Units switching, Totalizing, Peak Hold, Set Points, Filtering and a convenient lift-cycle counter. Mechanically, the CHALLENGER 2 has proven itself through years of service. A rugged, low-profile enclosure minimizes headroom loss while maintaining weather resistance and portability. It also sets the standard for readability. With several annunciators and oversized 1.2 in/30 mm LED digits, you can read the display easily from more than 50 ft/15 m away.

When MSI introduced the original model 4260 Port-A-Weigh in 1979, it quickly replaced mechanical crane scales in the Alaskan fishing industry. Exceptional ruggedness and accuracy made it the only legal-for-trade scale for this harsh marine environment. With periodic design updates, the Port-A-Weigh remains the workhorse of the heavy-duty crane scale market.

Delivering you an accuracy of 0.1% of the applied load, the Port-A-Weigh is NTEP approved for use in commercial trade. The Port-A-Weigh's rugged, NEMA IV enclosure provides you years of dependable operation in the harshest industrial and marine applications. With the Factory Mutual option the scale is approved for use in hazardous environments, and with an optional configuration it is ideally suited for high-heat applications. With standard capacities that range from 500 pounds to 50 tons, you can use a Port-A-Weigh for virtually any overhead weighing need.

MSI-4300 Porta-Weigh Plus, considered the ultimate crane scale. To create its flagship crane scale, MSI integrated the industry's most advanced electronics, two decades of marine and industrial application experience, and a set of features never before offered on a crane scale. The result is the MSI-4300 Porta-Weigh Plus. It is a Bronze Award winner of Plant Engineering magazine and is recognized as the world's premier crane scale.

Specified by such companies as ALCOA, General Electric, Union Carbide, and Boeing Airplane Co., MSI's model 4300 gained prominence because of its performance and acceptance on the job. It incorporates advanced electronics with enhanced digital filtering to yield accurate and stable readings on every job, every time. The scale is powered by eight standard "D" size disposable alkaline batteries that provide up to 2,000 hours of continuous use. Battery replacement is simple and inexpensive, and requires no tools. Additional options include: infrared remote controller; audible alarm; RS232 data output and relay output to interface with computers, printers and process controllers; and oversized top and bottom fittings.

Trans-Weigh radio telemetry crane scale for overhead lifting and weighing.
The MSI-6260 Trans-Weigh radio telemetry crane scale provides weighing solutions where other systems fail. It offers you the safety and efficiency of wireless, remote weight displays for virtually any overhead weighing/tension application. With a transmission distance up to 300 ft. (90 m), you can place the indicator in a safe and convenient location. It expands system versatility by enabling connections to printers, computers, data recorders and scoreboards. Unlike other systems, Trans-Weigh does not require an end user FCC license.

Designed to excel in harsh industrial environments, Trans-Weigh's components meet NEMA IV standards for watertight integrity. The crane unit's rugged aluminum housing also resists corrosion, extreme heat and EMI environments. You can weigh loads with an accuracy of 0.1% of the applied load. With more than two decades of experience in the weighing and force measurement industry, MSI remains the premier manufacturer of electronic crane scales.

MSI-3700 Magnum Plus
Reliable lift truck scales for tough applications.
The MSI-3700 "Magnum Plus" is an innovative break from conventional lift truck scales. While other models rely on sheer bulk for strength, the Magnum Plus incorporates advanced design concepts to provide a unique set of product advantages. Although you will always lose some lifting capacity when adding an attachment to your lift truck, you can minimize the loss. Magnum Plus reduces the loss more than any other scale because it addresses the cause: load center shift. The solution is an attachment that is lighter and narrower. At 165 lbs (75 kg), Magnum Plus is the lightest lift truck scale available.

Its advanced design, which utilizes materials with high strength-to-weight ratios, reduces mass and bulk without compromising strength. Magnum Plus maintains a 200 percent safe and an ultimate overload rating of 500 percent. A single load cell for simplicity. A single load cell system like the Magnum Plus is the most practical and efficient weighing design for lift truck scales. Unlike multiple load cell designs, it is simple for you to calibrate and maintain. It eliminates the problems associated with multiple load cells, which often must be adjusted painstakingly.
