About Load Indicators
A load indicator is a device that measures and displays the amount of load or weight being applied to a particular structure or machine. This device is commonly used in engineering and construction to ensure that structures and machines are not overloaded beyond their safe operating limits. It comes in various forms depending on the applications. It accurately measures the weight or load being applied and provides a real-time reading of the load. Load indicator can also be equipped with alarm and warning system to alert users if the load exceeds safe limits.
