Subsea Shackle Load Cell Applications

This sub sea shackle load cell can be utilized in many places, but more specifically in submerged and marine environments. Typical uses include subsea moorings, monitoring the anchors tension, sub sea towing/monitoring and cable recovery or repairs.

The load cell shackle is more compact when compared to standard tension load cells and thus take up less room in a rigging set up.
