The simple reason is quality. Would you really like 20 tonnes of steel attached to a cheap import swinging above your head? I know i wouldn’t.

In my 10 years i have heard of two instances where hooks have failed under load and caused considerable damage, thankfully no inuries were reported.

The decision to remove the cheaper far eastern imported crane scales was a no brainer.

It’s not to be said that all crane scales manufactured in the far east are dangerous, however as a company we could not afford to take the risk, so as a customer why should you? It’s not always about saving money.
