The load meter market is generally divided into crane scales with hooks and eye bolts, and dynamometers with shackle holes, according to Eilon Engineering.

Eilon has launched what it claims is a new type of product – crane scales with remote or removable displays. Such systems combine the safety and comfort of having a remote display with the ease of use that a hook allows, the company says. There are six new models, three of which have a removable display.
