LSI launches new LMI

Houston, Texas based Load Systems International (LSI) has introduced a new Load Moment Indicator (LMI) for hydraulic cranes.

The new system features a pair of pressure transducers that read the rod and barrel side pressures of the lift cylinders. Data from the transducers is then transmitted wirelessly to the GS820 display. LSI claims that typical accuracy levels of the system are within one percent of maximum load capacity.

The system also allows a user to save the calibration data on the first machine to a USB drive and load the calibration to subsequent machines via the on-board USB port. On the subsequent machines, the calibration will only require minor tweaking relative to the pressure variances of each machine, allowing for a simple and fast calibration says the company.

The new unit features a pair of pressure transducers that read the rod and bore side pressures of the lift cylinders.

The GS820 display features a large screen that can be read in bright sunlight, an onboard data logger and the ability to upload load charts via the on-board USB port or download the data logger via USB drive.

The display shows the following data a glance: all crane geometry, working load limit, actual load, selected chart/counterweights, wind speed, alarms and system faults.
