Running Line Tensiometers

MTNW recently completed an evaluation of tensiometer suppliers and was particularly impressed with a rugged, well-designed running line tensiometer (RLT) that features an alloy-steel frame with marine grade coating and high quality stainless steel fixtures. Force and count sensors are located in a removable center sheave, allowing for easy installation without the need to cut or modify the winch lines. If future needs change these RLT’s can be just as easily removed for use in other applications.
