Time has flown by and Christmas is nearly upon us! Here is a quick round up of what has been happening at Straightpoint.
A trip to La Rochelle
A few weeks ago I was in the lovely La Rochelle, France working with our client Traction Levage. We went over to the port at La Rochelle to assist them in lifting a ship out of the water for maintenance using our radiolink system.
Wireless Compound Plus Load Cell in use
Check out the great images below sent from our client Lambert Charges in France, they used our wireless compound load cell system with 4-way data logging PC software for crane testing this dockside crane with their unique water weight system. The operator was able to monitor the loads of all four load cells simultaneously on their laptop and log into Excel – all at a wire-free, safe distance.
Straightpoint mug is on its way to Turier Scales!
Turier Scales (S Turier & Sons Ltd.) have been established since 1891 and are the largest independent manufacturer of industrial platform and floor scales in the UK. They import a comprehensive range of electronic balances, microbalances, counting scales, weighing instrumentation, indicators, load cells, industrial platforms and pallet truck scales. This month Nigel Newport Black, MD of Turier Scales sent us a customer picture of our products in use..
Nigel uses a Straightpoint boot bag and the image right shows a picture of his boots and boot bag prior to cleaning after the Cinderford Town v. Cheltenham Town Reserves match! We think this is one of the best pictures of the year!!
